Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Looking at 352 reviews, most reviewers were somewhat happy with their experience overall. Customers appreciate the wide selection of clothing available and the convenience of finding various brands in one place. Many people are satisfied with the quality and design of the products, often receiving compliments when wearing them. The ordering process is generally smooth, and some users have had positive experiences with customer support regarding order issues. However, a significant number of people are dissatisfied with the return and refund policy. Reviewers frequently report excessively long wait times for refunds, often extending beyond the stated 14 working days. Some customers also mention issues with receiving incomplete orders or difficulties with the return process itself, such as problems generating return labels or a lack of responsiveness from customer service regarding refund inquiries.

Ordered 3 items and returned 2 items over a month ago. No refund received and no update other than they’re waiting for the return. It doesn’t and shouldn’t take a month to receive returned items and process a refund. I would avoid completely and order from elsewhere.

Refund not received

I received emails stating my returns (£165 worth) had been received on 20th July and that refunds would be processed within 14 days.

It is now 11th August and still no refund. I will be contacting my bank to see what legal rights I have and never purchasing or recommending Silkfred again

Returned 3 items from the 4 items I had returned them on 21/7/25, it’s now 10/08/25 & I’ve still not had a refund for the items. Email states 10 working days from 28/07/25, which would be 08/08/25.
Not good enough.
In response to the reply, my email actually says do allow up to 10 working days, not 14. 10 working days would be 08/08/25.

The delivery and clothes are good!
However!!!!
Just like lots of other people, I returned goods a month ago, received an acknowledgment and I am still waiting for my refund!!
No way to contact them except via a bot, which I’ve done.
No reply and no refund

Occasion dress

Bought a dress for my son's wedding in the USA. A floaty, chiffon effect with beautiful colours. I've had so many wonderful comments of how lovely it looked when I wore it :) It's a fantastic dress which I can wear again and again. A great price too!
