Great service!

By Stacey G., Tulsa, OK, Verified Reviewer

I have been a GB subscriber for a long time now. I have done anywhere from 1-5 items out at a time but like the 3 items out at a time the best for the price and value. The clothes are great quality and sizing is usually true to your size. Fast shipping and overall great service for someone who gets bored with clothes easily. Also, I like the option to buy what you wear. I sometimes buy something I really love. Also love the outlet and marketplace options as well. Sometimes the outlet has great sales! And I've bought a new bra off the marketplace before.

The best thing to ever happen to my wardrobe!

By Laurie L., Verified Reviewer

I've been with Gwynnie Bee from almost the very beginning. Over the years, my weight has fluctuated... but Gwynnie Bee gave me the flexibility I needed throughout. I get so many compliments all the time... frankly, most of these clothes I would not buy outright due to the price, but Gwynnie Bee gives me the opportunity to try before I buy so I know I'm investing in a piece I will love! I've got nothing but thanks for Gwynnie Bee. And bonus: less laundry!

Great way to expand your wardrobe

By Corey H., Verified Reviewer

I’ve been using Gwynnie Bee for many years. I use the three at a time plan which provides more than enough variety in my wardrobe to keep me happy. I don’t usually purchase items because I like constantly having new dresses to wear to work, but occasionally I’ll get something I just can’t let go. In the past, Gwynnie Bee had some issues with slowness in shipping, but that seems to be resolved. In fact, they now ship as I’m sending back my items, so I don’t even have the wait time of them receiving my items before shipping the new ones. That makes me a very happy customer.

Beware

By Kathleen T., Illinois, Verified Reviewer

Once you cancel you still get billed, even when you are no longer using their services. I have been billed and billed, it's crazy. I have not ordered anything in 6 months and every month they try and bill me. This company takes advantage of hard-working Americans.

Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Horrible company. Beware of extra charges.

By Irina E., Houston, TX, Verified Reviewer

I wanted to cancel my Gwynnie Bee account, so they charged me extra month right away.

I had to get BBB involved to fight extra charges, then they responded to BBB that they will refund me but delayed the processing. When they finally process the refund, it was just PARTIAL refund.

Horrible company - I’m never coming back and I would not recommend this company to anyone.

The condition of clothes is also quite poor, and cloth prioritization never worked with them.

Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Miserable failure this holiday season

By Abi H., Utah, Verified Reviewer

I had been a fan of Gwynnie Bee, but they have been an utter failure this holiday season. Like a lot of people, I have a Christmas party every day of this week. I knew a holiday party week was coming, so I returned my last items early (December 10th and 11th). It's now December 19th. I have not received a new shipment, nor has the next shipment shipped out. With the weekend and holiday coming up, I think it is realistic to guess that I will not have had a Gwynnie Bee item in hand from December 11th until December 26th. That is, literally, the two weeks of the year when this service would provide the most value to me. Total disappointment.

Epic failure for holiday dresses.

Billing

By Nicoke G., Houston, TX, Verified Reviewer

I've stated on more than one occasion that this company has been taking $75 out of my account for the last three years and I've only had one outfit delivered to me due to the point that during the Hurricane Harvey incident, I was unable to locate those items and the company still continued to bill me. I have found those items, and I do not want the service anymore. I have asked for a box be sent to me so I can return the two items that I received almost 4 years ago, and I would never say that this company has a compassionate heart because they don't. They have again taken $75 out for almost 48 months and I've only received one outfit.

So far, so good

By Janet R., California, Verified Reviewer

I've been on a weight loss journey for nearly three years, two of them with Gwynnie Bee "lending" me clothing along the way. It's been a good relationship with only minor hiccups along the way.

Pros: A constantly changing supply of (mostly) new clothing to enjoy along the way with (mostly) accurate sizing charts.

Cons: When the sizing charts are off, they are waaaaay off. But that purple bag is right there to receive the "toss backs." And when the pieces have been "previously enjoyed," they can be somewhat thread-worn. But that's only happened twice in my two years of experience and, again, the purple bag is right there.

Lingering issue: They say there's a pair of pants that I know I returned which they have never received. It's been sitting there for quite some time marked "return notified" but receipt never acknowledged. They've continued to send me all of the items to which I'm entitled, but at some point, they should give up on that pair of pants, don't you think?

Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Endless possibilities!

By Susan C., Holt, MI, Verified Reviewer

I began a new job which requires me to dress professionally 5 days a week. Looking at my current clothing inventory, I found it lacking. One of my new work friends always looked great and wore amazing up to date styles, and when I asked her where she shopped, she shared with me the Gwynnie Bee secret. I really like the selection, and it is as easy to use as possible. It saves on shopping time, laundry and dry cleaning. You go online, select your styles and size, they send you available items, you wear them, place them in a pre-posted bag and return. As soon as you indicate you are returning the items you have, they are preparing the next box. I LOVE IT!

Materials and patterns

By Amy F., Fort Collins, CO, Verified Reviewer

I have been a loyal customer for quite some time now. I am finding that less and less of the items I rent are quality items. The material and patterns are dated. They look good in photos, but when they arrive, it’s nothing I would have touched in a store. I’m debating leaving. But I have enjoyed a large selection they've provided over the years. Thank you.

Life in the work lane

By Falon H., Georgia, Verified Reviewer

I signed up for going to be in 2014 around the same time I got a promotion that required a more corporate professional wardrobe, but I refuse to just wear a pantsuit and be boring. Gwynnie Bee gave me the opportunity to explore and find my new style transitioning from my early twenties into my professional wardrobe while still maintaining my love of fashion and quirkiness. I can try new pieces for work and always have the availability for fun date night outfits or special nights out and even family vacations. And now that they've gone fully size inclusive I can recommend it to all of my friends, no matter your body type. Keep it up Gwynnie Bee.

Hard to find items to closet

By Michaelann F., Northern, NJ, Verified Reviewer

I have been a member for two years and in the beginning, I was very pleased with the service and selection. Currently, I struggle to find enough items to fill my virtual closet and keep shipments coming regularly. It seems that if I put something in the closet that I don’t really love, that’s always the item I get first. Maybe supply is not keeping up with demand? I’ve had items in the closet for over a year and never received them, even if prioritized. If the item is no longer available, why let it sit in my closet?

Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Love it!

By Annette R., San Diego, CA, Verified Reviewer

I thoroughly enjoy my Gwynnie Bee subscription. My only concern would be when I receive the same color scheme or similar patterned in one shipment. I would always like to receive a variety.

Save time, save money

By Michelle B., Las Vegas, NV, Verified Reviewer

Gwynnie Bee has been so extremely helpful and has removed any worry I felt about what to wear to work in the mornings or what to wear to church on Sunday. I used to sit in front of my closet trying to find something every day and it just wasn’t easy. Now my worry is gone, and I have something to wear all the time, and I look and feel great! I get so many compliments on what I’m wearing. I save lots of time and money not having to buy clothes constantly. I highly recommend this service to everyone.

Complete wardrobe

By Susan C., Houston, TX, Verified Reviewer

Great clothes, great service, incredible brands, new items every few days.

The price is paid for with what I saved in cleaning bills.

The delivery of new items is very expeditious...that’s what I’m most pleased with.

Pretty good

By Julie C., Nebraska, Verified Reviewer

For the most part, I've been happy with the service for the past 5 and 1/2 years. I signed up when they were very new, so there have been some bumps and growing pains as they have grown as a company. For instance, sometimes the packages never arrive, many times the items have been missing belts, etc., other times the clothes have smelled horrible. For the most part, when I have voiced a complaint, it is has been taken care of to my satisfaction. I enjoy the selection and getting new items to try. I enjoy the option to purchase things that I love. Overall, I'm pretty happy with the service and would recommend it to friends to try out.

It's made my life so much easier

By Samantha L., Michigan, Verified Reviewer

I have the five items at a time subscription, and it's wonderful. I wear almost exclusively Gwynnie Bee clothes to work. I rarely wear the same thing twice, and it's really nice to have less laundry to do. There are definitely some fails (it's all stuff you pick for yourself, and sometimes I'm not sure what I was thinking, lol), but such is life. Overall, I think it's an excellent value for the money, and it's made my life easier. It's also made me more adventurous - easy to try a style once if you don't have to buy it.

More than I could have dreamed!

By Becca J., Massachusetts, Verified Reviewer

I heard about Gwynnie Bee and was extremely skeptical. It sounded a little gross, too, wearing clothes that other people had worn! However, for the first time ever, I get compliments ALL THE time about how great I look! I am also able to purchase beautiful clothes for a fraction of the price!

Give Gwynnie Bee a try and you too will be stylish and happy!

Gwynnie Bee experiences

By Kimberly G., Atlanta, GA, Verified Reviewer

Clothes have character, and their selections are fun and interesting. My wardrobe has come from Gwynnie Bee and I haven’t shopped at a retailer in years now.

The clothes are boxed and shipped to my home wrapped nicely. Sometimes there are promo gifts. If I try it on and it’s not for me, I ship it immediately in the provided packaging.

I sometimes test out a piece just to see if I get comments. If I do, I’ll probably purchase the item.

It’s been a convenient way to shop. They have new fashionable purses, jewelry, lingerie and exercise wear. Sometimes it’s a little pricey. However, there are a few things that I can purchase.

The clothes are a priority, and as long as they are interesting, fun, and affordable, I’ll continue to use Gwynnie Bee for my wardrobe in the future.

Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Great clothes and service

Fabulous fashion

By Martha J., Verified Reviewer

I enjoy Gwynnie Bee so much. I can try multiple designs and styles without having to purchase them. I don’t like trying things on at the store because I feel hurried, but with Gwynnie Bee, I not only can spend time at home but truly experience wearing an outfit all day, which tells you more than a quick on and off. My job requires that I dress professionally and I get compliments daily on my Gwynnie Bee fashions. The assortment of styles is wonderful. Gwynnie Bee has allowed me to explore styles that I never would have tried before. My only suggestion is less sleeveless items as many employers prohibit sleeveless attire.

Fraudulent charges

By Jennifer G., California, Verified Reviewer

Continued to charge my account after I called to cancel the subscription. Charged multiple charges totaling $200. Said they were still charging me because they had not received the items fast enough, but they were returned within days of me receiving them.

So far they have not refunded anything and stated only that they are looking into it.

Don't do it, it's a scam!

By Alicia J., New York, Verified Reviewer

I wish I had read the reviews on this site before trying Gwynnie Bee, as many people have had the same negative experience. I have tried lots of different subscription boxes, including clothes, food and beauty products, and this is the ONLY one I've ever had a bad experience with.

Overall, the clothes were meh. It is nice that they have a selection for larger sizes. But out of the several shipments I got over my month-long trial, I only wore one piece out.

I then canceled the subscription as I had planned to do after the trial period. No problems.

Fast forward to two months later when I see a charge for $86 from Gwynnie Bee on my statement. I called and they said they hadn't received a shipment of 2 dresses that I had sent back to them with their shipping label. On that phone call, they stated they would "look around the warehouse" and if still not found, would open a ticket with USPS to look for the package.

The following day I received an email asking about my customer service experience, and when I clicked on it, the site stated the ticket had already been closed and that I could not comment on it.

After waiting two weeks with no response, I called back. Again the rep stated they would look around the warehouse. I said that wouldn't be necessary, as they'd already done that and not gotten back to me. I asked if they keep the details of the return shipping labels they send out, and she said yes. I asked why they couldn't just track the label since they have it on file. She said it was my responsibility to provide it, and they couldn't do anything else. I asked to speak with a supervisor, was told there were none in the building, and that I would get a call back from one within 24-48 hours.

When (SHOCKER) I had not received a call back from management within the promised time, I called back yet again. This time they gave me a ticket #, said it was being escalated, and again to expect a call from a supervisor. I'm not holding my breath.

TL;DR - They charged me for items I returned with their shipping label. Per other reviews on this page, this seems like a common occurrence that the company should have resolved by now. Instead of apologizing and returning my money, they have given me the runaround. I'm going on three weeks of fighting with them for a refund. If my money is not returned soon, I will have to work with my bank to reverse the charges.

I will be sure to tell my friends and family to stay away from this business, as well as leaving this review everywhere I can. I am also going to file a complaint with the Better Business Bureau, at https://www.bbb.org/ and encourage anyone who's had a similar experience to do the same.

Great clothing for plus size!

By Amy H., Flushing, NY, Verified Reviewer

I truly love Gwynnie Bee. I love having access to a much wider closet of clothing. Being plus-sized can be tough. You get tired of Lane Bryant, Torrent, etc. But with Gwynnie Bee, I have been able to wear beautiful clothing by designers for a fraction of the cost. It's really forced me to step outside my comfort zone and try clothing I never would have before. I also love that I have the option to buy the pieces that come home, and they are almost always at a deep discount.

Please don't ever change, Gwynnie Bee. And please always stay affordable. There are many plus-sized gals out there that need you.

No worries/less stress

By Vanessa C., Georgia, Verified Reviewer

My experience with the company has been great with no problems. Having the Gwynnie Bee subscription has allowed me to not worry about what I will wear each week. I attend church every Sunday, and when most people are trying to decide what to wear or go shopping weekly, I just open my box. When I get home, it is great that I can just fold up and place in the return bag-never having to wash. Also, I do have the opportunity to purchase if I choose to. Thanks for this opportunity!
