Many complaints describe significant money lost and refunds that never arrived for paid orders. Other reviewers say the dresses feel like good value when they arrive and fit well. Reports of lost funds come up often enough to stand out as a main concern.
Positive reviews mention step-by-step ordering, sizing help, and smooth delivery. Negative reviews describe canceled orders, unreachable support, and problems accessing the site or appointments. A few positive accounts also mention being offered in-store alternatives.
Several customers praise the fit, materials, and couture-level finish when items arrive. High ratings repeatedly point to a good cut and impressive fabric. Few reviews criticize product quality, since many complaints focus on non-delivery rather than defects.
Many reviewers report no replies, no tracking updates, and refund requests that go unanswered. Another clearly visible group praises proactive updates, patient responses, and straightforward guidance from staff. Communication experiences differ sharply between these two groups.
Reviews are split between accounts of full support and accounts of alleged financial loss followed by silence. Several high-star reviews describe a smooth experience from start to finish. Several low-star reviews allege unresolved orders and missing refunds.

I bought this dress and it is perfect. The dress has a soft glamour to it with shiny sequins that can be worn for a night out or special occasion. This piece of clothing by designer Elie Saab is the best for its quality and price. I really admire it's colour and sparkle. It fits seamlessly and highlights my curves beautifully. This dress is perfect for women who want to stand out from the crowd! Besides, the delivery was fast and their customer service was top notch! The return policy was also great, since I needed to exchange my prom dress once for a different style after shopping around at other stores. District 5 made it easy to return and pick up again so I didn't have to lug around the dress for two weeks until my party. I love this store, and would definitely shop there again in the future.
