1 starBOOTLEG, GETTO, SCAMMERS, THE WORST EXPERIENCE EVER ENCOUNTERED. STAY AWAY.We ordered some items and returned them the same day in perfect condition and tags attached. They credited our account for a lesser amount but never confirmed the return. We then received a bill for some random amount with late fees. Five phone calls later, getting passed around from agent to agent still not one person can explain why they decided to keep a portion of our money. This company is not real. Fakers and scammers - Do not waste your time, energy or hard earned money.Review fromDebra S

1 starI bought the most beautiful dress from Woman Within. I loved it so much I ordered it in three colors. There were going to be my back to church dresses. I suffer from chronic pain and finally got my pain pump in, so I was going back to church.I get my beautiful dress, which is described as easy machine wash and dry. It also states that it is true to size. But what they don't tell you it that the rayon it is made of will shrink. There is actually at tag attached that says "Due to the unique nature of this fabric, some shrinkage is Unavoidable"When I researched rayon, it says it will shrink even with dry cleaning. It can also shrink every time it is cleaned. These are not cheap dresses, and I cannot afford to spend 80+ dollars on a dress that can never be cleaned.I called customer service and got hold of a little bulldog who would not let me speak to a supervisor. She said there was not one available. I told her I would wait but she insisted there was no supv. there and said I could get a call back on Monday. I was at least offered a free shipping label to return the dresses. I was also informed that the "true to size" applies to the new item, it does not take into consideration that it will be ruined after the first cleaning.I know this might sound a little pathetic, but I am crushed. These dresses were perfect for me. I am short and round and it fit me perfectly. Going back to church is something I have wanted for so long and I felt so good in this ********* I have to send them them back. I feel completely victimized. It wouldn't even do to get a larger size if they can shrink every time they are cleaned.Woman Within has lost a good customer.Review fromKaren A D

Their big "sales" are fraudulent. All they do is inflate the retail price and show a fake sale price. They advertise items on sale that are not in stock. Then you pay full retail when it ships. No refunds without a $10.99 surcharge. Shipping is outrageous. They don't stand behind the quality of the clothing. I purchased to pair of knit capris. After wearing them twice, they were so pilled they looked like towels. Dozens of reviews stating the same problem. The State of NY Attorney General needs to look into these business practices. I would like to see them force the breakup of this Company. Maybe get us back to the shopping experience of the dismantled Catherine's retail store!Full Beauty Brands

First: The color of tops fade quickly and the neck openings are huge so my bra shows. Sizes are inconsistent. I bought from Catherine's brick and mortar stores satisfactorily for over 25 years until they closed and were bought by Full Beauty Brands. Now a online only store, the service and practices are pathetic and borders on unethical. For example, the return policy states that returns are free if you choose store credit for your return; otherwise there is a $10.99 fee to receive a refund. As I prepared a return today, a fee of almost $34. (USD) for processing was taken from my return in addition to the $10.99. This fee is not listed on their website anywhere. There is no explanation. The shipping fee can be $29. or more (non-refundable). I should have free shipping 4 times a year but this typically does not show up and I am unable to change it. Several times I tried to join Catherine's Perks (A $25. Fee per year) to receive 10% off every order including the current order. It never takes the 10% off the current order so I drop it. Perks also ONLY applies to Catherine's Brands but while shopping online, other brands such as Woman Within often show up while you are only looking at Catherine's site. 10% is not taken off is not taken off these brands, so this is deceptive. The website often has problems. Sometimes a sale is only to a certain time but the website doesn't take your order until after the deadline. Phone calls are not helpful as the person answering does not have the power to make decisions. Frequently, I have gathered an order then not sent it due to the factors listed above. I am so frustrated and have complained directly by phone many times. I'm done.Full Beauty Brands

I ordered items from this company and have not received them. I have been on the phone with **************** for 3 days straight. They has sent me on a wild goose ****** I called when I noticed I never received my order. Their courier of choice delivered my package under a random staircase in my building and said they delivered it at my door which was a lie. They even provided picture proof that they lied. I was told to contact Swimsuits for all. I called and was on the phone for an hour with rep *** then was transferred over to a "supervisor" for OVER AN HOUR!! While being put on hold, I contacted the live chat, the rep ***** *.) did not read the information I provided and kept trying to end the chat (3 times to be exact) without answering my questions. Then ultimately left the chat without word. Then I used my other phone to call customer service (this is still while I'm on hold for a "supervisor" on my cell). I talked to rep **** and she said that she could order my items and express ship then to me in 2 days which would be right before my trip. However, they made me pay more than my original items to replace an out of stock item. The next day I saw no updates on my order. I called to check up and was told my order was not processed and put on hold so I wouldn't get my order in before my trip. I've had **** hang up on me, have an attitude, been lied to about which departments would rectify my problem, and in order to get a reimbursement, I have to submit paper and send it via mail only which will cost me gas & mailing fees. If I could give a 0 star I would. Out of the 7 **** I have been in contact with, only 2 were helpful, told the truth, and kind (Reps *** and ******). I am highly disappointed in my experience and as a former online retail customer service worker, this experience is the worst I have ever seen in my life. Would not recommend Swimsuits for all to my worst enemy. I have recordings, screenshots, call logs, & chat transcripts to prove my case.Full Beauty Brands

My sister ordered a pair of blue jeans online from Woman Within for $23. Separately, and unbeknownst to my sister at that time, she was also charged tax and a hefty shipping charge under a separate billing. She was very dismayed about this because had she known shipping was going to be about half the price of the blue jeans she never would have ordered them. Then, and unfortunately, her purchase was listed after the refund she requested had been posted to her bank. She became confused, thinking, Woman Within took the money back out of her account when, in fact, it had refunded her money. As a result of her perception, she started a dispute with ******. ****** found on the side of Woman Within and pulled the total cost of the blue jeans, shipping, and taxes out of my sisters bank account. In essence, they took back the money that had been refunded. I have spoken to ******, my sisters Bank, and Woman Within on more than one occasion. A week ago today I spoke to **** from Woman Within who led us to believe that a $25.57 refund had been negotiated to which my sister agreed. Today, I spoke to Hope at Woman Within and there was no documentation whatsoever regarding the conversation I had had with **** a week ago. My sister spoke with ****** earlier today and theres no documentation of any refund having come from woman within since I spoke with **** last week. So not only has my sister returned the blue jeans to Woman Within. She is also out the full cost of that purchase. I find these business dealings absolutely unconscionable. I want action taken for my elderly sister who made an innocent mistake to have her money refunded.Full Beauty Brands

I purchased the LATTICE PLUNGE ONE PIECE SWIMSUIT in a size 12 and received what I can assume is a bikini top in a 48 F/H/G. I've reached out to the company to send me my item I purchased to be told I need to provide my credit card to repurchase the item I already purchased. The representative refused to send me the items I purchased because I wouldn't give my credit card information to purchase the items I already purchased but never received.

Dear *** ********,
Thank you for reaching out to us regarding your recent experience with our Member Rewards program. We understand your concerns and appreciate the opportunity to clarify the situation.
Our records indicate that you made an online order via ************************** on August 18, 2024, and at that time, you signed up for the Member Rewards program. A welcome packet was sent to your email on file, detailing the benefits and terms of the program.
We offer a "Member Rewards Program" to our customers after they place an order. This program provides free shipping rebates up to $15.00. The 30-day trial period costs $1.99, and after the trial period, the membership fee is $16.95 per month plus tax unless the customer calls and cancels. Membership requires a purposeful act on the customer's end to sign up; therefore, customers are not automatically subscribed, and accidental subscription is not possible. The sign-up page clearly explains the $1.99 trial, the monthly fee, and the complete terms and conditions of the program. Additionally, customers receive an email with program details, including instructions on how to cancel the membership online, by phone, or by mail.
We apologize for any confusion you may have experienced.
Thank you for your understanding.

I followed their return instructions, dropped off the package at **** and assumed everything was settled.Three months later, they charged me $100 for the backordered item, and I discovered my $150 return was never credited. After weeks of emails, customer service keeps making promises but wont fix it.

Dear *** ******,
We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience you've experienced with your recent order and return process. We understand your frustration and regret that you have not received credit for the returned items. Since these items were shipped from the vendor and not directly from King Size Direct, the vendor requires a tracking number to provide proof of the return. Without this tracking number, we are unable to process the credit for the vendor-shipped items.
We acknowledge that King Size Direct used to be your go-to for big and tall clothing, and we regret that our recent changes have impacted your experience negatively. We are committed to resolving this issue for you. Please provide any available information regarding the return, and we will do our best to assist you further. Since the backordered item was shipped directly from King Size Direct, we have emailed you a return label. This return will be trackable, ensuring that you receive the correct credit.
Thank you for your patience and understanding.
