K I’m kinda peeved. I had to place my order over the phone. I got 3 dresses and 2 pairs of shoes for my mom since all they had was a size 6. My card ha been charged and I’ve been waiting on shipping notification. Today I get a shipping email and a I’m sorry we couldn’t fulfill all of your order so now I’m getting one dress and the shoes. So when will I be refunded my money. Not happy with this service had I known they were sold out in sz medium i would have went with a size large since they had plenty of those available after my order was placed. ๐Ÿ™

Ok correction. Just got off the phone with them, I’m not getting any of my dresses and I’m getting two pairs of shoes that won’t even fit me. I am really not pleased with this experience. They need to have a more accurate count of their merchandise before they put a sale on that they later discover they can’t fulfill. I have already been charged the full amount plus the exchange rate since I bank in Canada. Seriously bummed right now. They should have contacted me and said they were unable to fulfill my order and asked if I’d still like to proceed.

Leaves me feeling they have a Lack of courtesy and consideration for the customer. If mediums were sold out I would have bought a large. But no they place my order for mediums and let me think for 2 weeks that my order is fine, take my money but on the day they ship they say sorry your only getting this. My email says I’m getting a dress and 2 pairs of shoes, but after speaking with them on the phone turns out I’m only getting the shoes. This was not worth the headache of ordering and I doubt I’ll do this again. ๐Ÿ™

Maybe that’s why I still haven’t received ANY update on my order. I also ordered some medium dresses, and my card has been charged. I tried contacting modcloth, but no reply! This is really frustrating!

My sister picked up her packages today from the post office. I am trying to remember what her dress looks like beyond it was perfect for her. It was an A line dress that is either green or blue with white polka dots and a belt. It had higher neckline and a jewel or a pendant in the middle with short sleeves. I’m not doing a good job explaining it. She’s happy with it.

I received my one dress on Saturday. It’s from the brand Glamourous in the UK. I ordered a large, received a size 10, took one look at it and gave it to my sister to try on. She is a 4 and it fits her fine. It’s an orange and black slinky dress.

Are UK sizes the same as USA sizes? There is no way that dress is a USA size 10.

No, US and UK sizes aren’t the same. I read a lot of overseas knitting and crochet magazines, and a UK size 10 could be a US 4 or 6, depending on the designer. So, a small instead of a large!

Thank you for letting me know. That makes sense. I gave her the dress and am not going to worry about it since it is $10.00.

I got mine today and 4/5 of them are so pretty! The meh one looks like a wedding dress lol! I may just donate that one. How do you find out the price of the items? I don’t have any tags on my dresses except for the designer name.

I received my box today. Out of 5 dresses there is one that I love, two that are okay and two that are too small. None of them have crazy wild prints but one of the too small dresses is made out of very cheap material. Really curious to know what everyone else received!

Oh no! I placed 2 orders yesterday and both went through, showed up on my bank account, in my modcloth account and I got confirmation emails for both. This morning one of the charges is gone from my bank account. I hope hope hope that they didn’t cancel one! And both were for the same $ amount so I don’t even know which one it is! Please Please Please don’t be my shoes!!! AAHHH the stress!

This is my first time actually being able to grab this deal. Has anyone had any luck selling or swapping anything they don’t want. I guess I’m afraid I will end up with 5 dresses that don’t work for me and be stuck.

I think it really depends on if you are a common size or not. Typically the things they send out are pretty outrageous, so SOMEONE is going to look at it and fall in love (and everyone else is going to be happy they didn’t get it!) so it’s just luck if the person that likes it is the same size as you. I’ve listed a pair of shoes, an apparel item and 2 dresses on the swap site, so far I’ve been able to swap the shoes (size 7.5) and one of the 2 dresses (M). I think it also depends on the perspective of the swappers, some people get a dress with an original retail of $100 and want to swap it for that, others know that they only spent $10 and are happy with that value (I fall into the second category and I think people that would like the items sometimes don’t ask because they assume I’m looking for full retail). In any case, I hope that you don’t have to swap anything because you love it all!

Thanks Annie. I hope everything fits my body and style. I ordered all Larges so they should be an easy size to swap? I’m new to the swapping stuff so I don’t understand all of the retail value vs paid value. I would be happy to swap for something I love regardless of retail value.

Total sellout, all categories.

How often do they offer these? I always miss out

am i the only one who generally finds modcloth to be an overpriced F21? sometimes they carry some decent brands but their modcloth styles are pretty junky. That being said, $5/$10 is about the right price for their stuff.

Annie

I love their RIDICULOUS shoes. The sillier they are the more they make me smile. For $50, $60 or $70? No. Not a chance. For $10? Heck yeah!

I’m typically a size Medium in dresses, but I ordered 3 size small ones just to see what happens! And hey, you never know. I’m starting P90 next week so maybe I’ll drop a size!

Annie

I ordered 3 ‘apparel’. What exactly is included in this category? I assume not dresses since they have their own category. Also, about how long do these take to ship? Thanks!

I got an error checking out with PayPal so I tried again later, only to realize that the first order actually went through. So I had to call to cancel my repeat order and I asked about the stylish surprise event. They said they had an accidental leak so almost everything was gone before it was supposed to start! That makes me very sad ๐Ÿ™ that’s not fair at all

Yay, I finally snagged one! ^^ Just got one dress.

I’ve never done one of these before but I was able to get in on the dresses at least. I bought 5 for $50. Pretty great deal especially if you compare it to Golden Tote. ๐Ÿ™‚

All that was left was dresses, but I was able to grab a couple. ๐Ÿ™‚ The last ones were really pretty, so I can’t wait to see what comes this time! ๐Ÿ˜€

Last time I got two dresses that didnt fit. So this time only getting one and luckily they have the one size larger that I needed. Hopefully I have better luck this time.

Dresses size S-L still available. I’m sad I missed out on most items I wanted but I’m glad I got to get dresses for me and shoes for my mom. This is my first time ordering from mod cloth , I’m excited to see what we get. $50 for 3 dresses and 2 pairs of shoes is a steal!!

Had two shoes and three accessories in my cart (which took over a half hour to get to mind you), got to the paypal website and poof all gone. ๐Ÿ™

Finally! I got 5 dresses in a size smaller than I wanted but last time I got some they were way to big so hopefully it still works I had to make new account and keep refreshing before I got all the way through the checkout it took me 45 minutes originally I wanted the 1x dresses but right after adding them to my cart they were taken away and all the xl were gone so I went with large ideally I would have liked the xl but since that hadn’t been an option right away I went up but then those disappeared

Okay, can someone clue me in on how to find out about this chaotic shopping race beforehand? I managed to pick up 3 dresses, because I had $24.00 in credit from one of the last Stylish Surprises after they canceled my order. Seriously, how in the world do people know about this so quickly? It’s madness!!

My understanding is that the mobile app alerts many people before the general public is told at least that’s what happened last time. I had gotten the app so I would be alerted this time but for some reason it didn’t alert me so not sure if it worked for others

Maude

I downloaded the app but they never sent me the push notification either.

Jenny M

I have the mobile app and it sent me (and my coworker) the notification 35 minutes after the sale started. I lucked out and started checking the website at 11. Not sure why the mobile app was so late, but after we got it, I noticed the website started crashing.

Annie

I stalk Liz’s site. If you have the mobile app they do give you a heads up, but I got the push notification about 5 minutes before Liz posted it. Its really right place right time. Thankfully I had just gotten back from lunch and wasn’t ready to start working again yet ๐Ÿ˜€

Thanks for the comment, Annie! I just wanted to make sure I wasn’t missing out on some kind of “gird your loins, we’re going into Modcloth Stylish Surprise battle” type of update. Right place, right time? Seems fair ๐Ÿ™‚
