Clothing Cheap

Scrolling through Facebook a few weeks ago, I came across this photo on a friends’ page:

Now this was my kind of coat! But… NastyDress? What the heck was NastyDress?

Intrigued, I clicked on the link– Yep. It was pretty nasty, all right. Most of the dresses would get a girl arrested for indecent exposure if she were to wear one of them in public.

But when I looked at the coats and sweaters, I found plenty of options I loved. And the prices were AH-MAZ-ING.

Tops were $10 – $15! Sweaters were $15-$20! And coats were all under $40!

Even though NastyDress is located overseas, the site offered free shipping- or expedited shipping with a tracking number for just $1.20. Yes. You read that right. .20. It all seemed like it was too good to be true– But I filled up my virtual shopping cart just in case! Then I did some research to make sure this company was on the up and up.

I was dubious and disappointed when I couldn’t find a single independent review of NastyDress online. What was up with THAT?! But after much searching, I finally found a blurry shot on Instagram of some clothes on a bed with a caption that read: “My package from NastyDress arrived.”

This questionable image (and the fact that NastyDress accepts PayPal) was enough to convince me to place my order, because…

YOLO.

Then, since I am a very private person, I shared my news on Facebook. Immediately, my friends jumped on the news. A long discussion on all things NastyDress ensued in the comments. What was this NastyDress of which I spoke? Could those prices seriously be legit? Would I please, please, please report back on my findings when (AND IF) my NastyDress package arrived?

Well, friends, after about two weeks of anxious waiting, my NastyDress package has, indeed, arrived. On the plus side, it was shipped via DHL with a tracking number, so I was able to monitor where it was, from Singapore to Hong Kong to Ohio, and when it would get here.

On the minus side, it was missing two items from my order. One of those items has since shipped, but via an unknown carrier, so I can’t track it. No word on the other.

However, here’s what I can tell you so far:

First, let’s look at the gray coat- My most pricy NastyDress purchase.

I felt like I couldn’t go wrong with what NastyDress called a woollen gray coat. I carefully consulted the NastyDress size chart, converted the centimeters to inches, re-measured myself, and ordered a size large instead of my usual medium.

When the coat arrived, it looked a little different from the photo- My ‘woollen’ coat was actually… fleece. It was cute, though. Anxiously, I tried it on.
