YesStyle Review: Korean Fashion Cardigan and Pencil Skirt

Another review, you say? Yes, I am rather prolific this week. I first heard about YesStyle from Sophia and also read about Nelah's picks. Sophia is very tiny, so the thought of her having several finds from there was intriguing to me. After placing my first order, I received many questions from you guys regarding YesStyle. So here you go...(keep in mind both items I bought are from the brand "The Mari," and each brand on there can vary in sizing and quality):

The Mari Contrast Trim Knit Cardigan - one size ($60, comes in 2 colors)
The Mari Pencil Skirt - sz small/ Korean 55 ($28, comes in 3 colors)
Gray tights, H&M   Perfect pumps, Ann Taylor

I would say the size chart on YesStyle is inaccurate, to the benefit of petites. The chart equates a Small/ Korean 55 to a US size 4-6, when in my experience this skirt fits more like a US 00 or XS/0.

Before buying, I thoroughly researched their store policies. It's important whenever purchasing online to do your research so that there are no surprises! I've written some out but the full polices are here.

Shipping & Order Time
- Shipping to the US and Canada is free for orders over $150
- For orders under $150, shipping to the US is $9.99 and to Canada is $16 (more countries here)
- YesStyle uses Express Shipping by DHL which comes with a tracking number
- For many items, YesStyle needs to procure the merchandise from their vendors before shipping to customers. Right below where you select size/color for an item, you can see whether the item is "Ready to Ship" or "Ships within 7-14 days." You are not charged until the item ships.
- My experience: placed order on October 30th, got shipment notification & tracking # on November 10th, and got package on November 12th. Express shipping from overseas is fast!

Returns
- Returns are accepted for store credit only. You must contact their customer service within 14 days to get a RMA code. See full policy here.
- There is a domestic address to mail your returns to in the US. Return shipping is the buyer's responsibility. Returns are not processed until the items are received at YesStyle's headquarters in Hong Kong (they ship it there themselves from the domestic address).

As you can see, their return policy is not the best. Given my struggles with fit, I was hesitant to order pricey items that could only be exchanged for store credit. My advice is to measure carefully, and inspect all the product photos (each item usually has plenty of model photos) for any potential fit or quality issues. If you plan on ordering, use code EXTRAPETITE for $5 off $20 or more.
