I’ve linked to the review pages for all of the stores listed so that you can make an educated decision when deciding to shop there or not. But the chances of it being high-quality are slim, and when it comes to my hard-earned money, I’d rather not take the chance. Is it possible you might order something from one of these stores and have it look presentable enough to wear? Sure. In the spirit of transparency, I present to you a comprehensive list (that I will continually be updating) of clothing boutiques that you should exercise extreme caution shopping at. I’ve been conned by several of the ’boutiques’ on this list myself, whether it was the heinous quality of the garment, the size discrepancy or the fact that they sent me a completely different product. Worst case scenario, they fail to send products at all, blatantly stealing money from consumers.

Best case scenario, these ’boutiques’ will steal images of products from reputable websites and/or designers and manufacture cheap, lookalike clothing and sell them to unsuspecting victims. If it seems too good to be true, it usually is - the majority of these companies are poorly-managed stores run by people overseas (primarily in China). You’ve probably seen them plastered all over your Facebook feeds by now: advertisements with gorgeous models donning cute, yet ridiculously cheap fashions.
