Pleased with Gwynnie Bee

By Gayle Crabtree , Knoxville, TN

This is my second month with the Gwynnie Bee one item subscription. So far, the boxes have all come on time and the quality has been good. I need dress tops for work, but my size keeps changing through dieting and I cannot afford to buy new cloths every month. The subscription has been my solution. The style selection is a little limiting, but the clothes have been in good quality.

Getting clothing that is out of season hasn't been an issue. I took everything out of my closet that was for summer and replaced them with fall items. My third month begins in a few days. My experiences have been positive so far and haven't had to contact customer service for anything.

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

Unlimited Closet = Dream Come True!

By Ashly P., Wheat Ridge, CO, Verified Reviewer

I signed up for Gwynnie Bee when I received a promotion at work, and needed to have a more professional wardrobe. I knew I couldn't afford to buy a bunch of new clothes, and I didn't want to be stuck wearing the same thing every week. Gwynnie Bee was the PERFECT solution!

I have been a member for a little over four months, and I have gotten to wear something "new" to work at my new job every day! I get compliments every single day, and I love sharing that I am a Gwynnie Bee member!

I receive four items at a time, and it's the perfect amount for the work week! It's a great way to supplement my wardrobe and to feel like a million bucks every day!

The clothes are always clean, and arrive in great condition. I usually receive a great variety of colors and styles, (there was one shipment that had all blue items) and the clothes are usually seasonally appropriate!

There are some people in the office that think I'm doing this because I can't afford to buy new clothes and keep telling me to go to Ross, or T.J. Maxx, but I'm a GB member because I truly get an unlimited wardrobe of amazing clothes! The best part about it is that I can wear something super-trendy, and not have to worry about it hanging in my real closet after it's no longer in style! (I have so many dresses that I bought for a special occasion that I've only worn once, and they just hang in my closet because I won't get rid of them after what I paid!)

A lady at work inquired if I had a "super rich boyfriend" who buys me nice clothes all the time, since she's never seen me in the same thing twice! Nope I'm a Gwynnie Bee member and I love it!

Absolutely in love with Gwynnie Bee

By Anna, Alabama, Verified Reviewer

I've been a member for over a year and just love it. It's so much fun, wearing something new every day and just tossing it in a bag at the end of the day to send back. I have NEVER seen a problem with clothing being worn out or in bad condition, not even once.

I have the largest plan and usually have to send a few things back because they aren't flattering on me, but that's no problem. I also have found things I would never have dreamed of wearing that I actually enjoy wearing a lot! So it's taken me out of my box and allowed me to expand my fashion horizons.

Even with the 10+ plan, I am spending less per month on clothes than I did before, and don't end up having clothes in my closet that I'm sick of or that don't look right anymore.

I look forward to every shipment and my fun try-on session in the comfort of my own home. Customer service is very responsive. I've never had so much fun with clothes.

Very pleased!

By Judy N, Grandy, NC, Verified Reviewer

I am surprised at some of the bad reviews. Yes, I have received some items that I just tried on and returned; but that has not been a lot. I have bought some items, and they would come with my next shipment.

Let's face it, shipping both ways is free; this does cost money for them. I don't have a problem with my purchases being shipped with my next shipment of clothes. I get a box every week. Sometimes it has one item, sometimes it has two, sometimes it has 3 or more. I always send back at least three items at a time. This is how I am getting a box every week.

Currently, I am doing five items out at a time. As soon as get home from wearing it for the day, I go online to my account, mark it "return," and complete the questionnaire. I fold it and place it in the bag until there are at least three items in the bag. Then I drop it off at the Post Office.

I usually have about 75 items on average on my rack. When I look through what's available, I will even choose stuff that I am on the fence about. Quite often, those items end up being a great fit! I started wearing 2X and am now down to 1X. I only buy tops, blazers, cardigans, and a couple of dresses. It's been great wearing something different to work every day. I really do have "a closet full of clothes" because I have not worn the same top more than once since November.

I plan on continuing to use Gwynnie Bee until I get down to a size they no longer sell. Every one of the items I have received has been received clean, and most have come wrinkle free and pressed. Maybe two items have been received wrinkled, but sometimes that can't be helped. I threw them in the dryer for 20 minutes and voila! Problem solved.

So far, pretty good

By Amber Keegan, St. Louis, MO, Verified Reviewer

I'm completing my free trial month. I have received four dresses. Between the first and second dress, I didn't have enough in my closet. Now I do. The first dress was huge. The second I loved! I bought it for more than 50% off. The third dress was pretty, but I didn't want to buy. This last dress is gorgeous but too tight in the bust. I'm going to try the larger size. This is great for someone who likes dresses. They have a large variety. I would have never tried these dresses on, so I'm expanding what I will wear. I'm losing weight too, so I like the rental idea. I love the free shipping too. Does anyone know if you cancel, will they offer any deal to keep you? Some subs do that.

Love it!

By Kate Schneider, Tucson, AZ, Verified Reviewer

I've been a Gwynnie Bee subscriber for over two years. In the last two years, they have really expanded the options available in different styles and sizes. They are always adding new brands. My closet currently has 200+ items in it, and with the ability to prioritize which items I receive, I always receive in-season items that fit my current tastes.

There are a few tricks to maximizing your experience with this service. The first is to watch for new arrivals. New arrivals come to you just that: new. If you want to receive the best items, check every few days, there are three or four new arrival drops a week! And add new things from each one. Prioritize the ones you like best and you will receive them sooner.

After a few months, I remove unreceived items from my closet, because yes, they have been worn and they might not be in the best shape. I have only ever (in two years) received 3 or 4 items that were damaged, but never beyond wearability (for example, one "damaged" item had a pen mark, easily missed among the blueprint on the dress). If you rarely closet items and never edit your existing picks, you will likely receive older items.

Another trick is to shop the size charts. Because Gwynnie Bee carries so many brands and they all fit differently, you won't be able to always closet the same size. I am a size 14 and wear anywhere from a Large to a 3X; there is that much variance in each brand's size chart. Do your measurements and compare them against the included size charts. Also, read member reviews for clues about if you'll need to size up or down in a particular item. I always shop the size chart and read the reviews, and most of the items I receive fit well.

Finally, if you have a multi-garment plan, always try to return more than one at a time. Not only does this help your closet "rotate," but you'll get more items, faster. Plus, you receive reward points for multi-item returns, which you can use for purchasing your favorite pieces. Remembering to notify Gwynnie Bee about your returns is also crucial because they will start prepping your next box right away. If you don't notify them, they can't send you something new until they receive your return, which means more turnaround time. They use 2-day shipping, so it is possible to receive muliple boxes a week if you return notify and send items back right away.

I love Gwynnie Bee and plan to keep using it for as long as I fit into a size that it is relevant. I have been very pleased with the service overall. It's helped me find new styles that I love and become more confident. If I dress well, I feel good about myself, and Gwynnie Bee sends great items that help me look and feel my best.

Gwynnie Bee

By Cindy H., Woodbridge, VA, Verified Reviewer

I love Gwynnie Bee. The clothes are stylish. Shopping is easy. Exchanges take seconds. The app is easy to use. Customer service is great. The best part is I never get bored with my wardrobe, and I feel confident going to work each week.

Gwynnie Bee has made me adventurous!

By Sara S., Fairfax, VA, Verified Reviewer

Before trying Gwynnie Bee, I was very traditional. A lot of browns, blacks, and Navy blues.

Since I can send it back, I am taking more risks - I can wear anything for a day! As I've tried more things, my tastes have changed in general, and my style has definitely evolved.

Thank you, Gwynnie Bee, for helping me get out of my rut!

Love Gwynnie Bee

By Jona D., Wisconsin, Verified Reviewer

I've been a Gwynnie Bee subscriber for several years. I love the breadth of choices (labels, styles) and the speed of shipping when I return an item. I also much prefer closeting items myself. I tried one of the curated box services, and in spite of very clear answers like "never send dresses or skirts," I regularly received boxes containing those items.

Recently, as I started losing weight, I realized a huge added value to being a Gwynnie Bee subscriber. I've been able to progressively adjust the sizes down and try, not buy, as I continue to lose.

Greatest thing since slices bread

By Christina B., Chicago, IL, Verified Reviewer

I have been using Gwynnie Bee for about three years now. I tried it out at first to amp up my workday attire. My job involved high-end social events so having a nice dress was key, but having a different nice dress to choose from each week was the icing on the cake. Compliments rolled in! The return and receive process is simple. I no longer have that job, so I’ve been venturing into more jeans and tops which has been so fun as it helps to learn which brands fit me best. Styles are not always perfect for me, but in that case, you just send items backs and wait for the new ones to arrive. If I could change one thing it would be a faster turn around time to get items.

You will always be well-dressed with Gwynnie Bee

By Beth D., Costa Mesa, CA, Verified Reviewer

Gwynnie Bee are plus size experts. That's why I joined. I was having trouble dressing my plus size body. Nothing seemed to look or fit right, and I often felt embarrassed about my appearance especially at work. All that changed once I joined Gwynnie Bee. They really are plus size experts, and the clothes are very well made and very high quality. I went from often feeling embarrassed about my clothing to complete confidence in my clothing. I know I'm well dressed in Gwynnie Bee. They have a wide variety of styles and selections to choose from and I love almost everything they send. They have fantastic sales on a regular basis, so you can build your at-home wardrobe.

Best shopping experience ever

By LaVonne A., Oklahoma, Verified Reviewer

I hate shopping for clothes in a brick-and-mortar store. Gwynnie Bee is the most enjoyable way I have built my wardrobe in my entire life. The shipping to and from my home is free, and the turnaround time is very fast. The clothing selections are quite varied, and I have purchased more items than I ever thought I would. Sure, not everything I try works for me, but I never have to leave my home to make that discovery! And, the pre-labeled return bag is provided with every box.

The clothing is of good quality and reasonably priced (certainly compared with Stitch Fix). The website is well laid out and very easy to use. I have recommended Gwynnie Bee to a few friends. I continue to do so because I think this is a customer service oriented company. Put simply, I love my Gwynnie Bee!

Love my new closet

By Leslie D., St Croix, U.S. Virgin Islands, Verified Reviewer

Gwynnie Bee is great for someone who doesn’t live near any department stores like me. I almost feel spoiled and so lucky to look so stylish for work everyday. I just love all of the selections and especially the returned favorites, which are such amazing deals. This has also been a great service, as I lose weight and change sizes. I’ve moved from size 18 and am now almost in 14, but don’t have a lot of clothes in my closet that I can no longer wear. I was a little cautious about wearing used clothes at first, but I have found all of the clothes sent to me to be clean and nonirritating. Thanks so much for giving me newish clothes to look forward to every week!

A great way to try new things!

By Deanne G., Portland, OR, Verified Reviewer

I am a full-figured woman who prefers to wear nothing but dresses. Gwynnie Bee has been amazing for me. There is a ton of selection with lots of different styles, colors, and cuts. While I tend to stick to the fit and flare, I have been ale to branch out with Gwynnie to include maxis and v-necks. I have also been able to purchase quite a few pieces at extraordinary prices. I always receive compliments on my choices and could quite possibly be a spokesperson for the company. I tried Le Tote for a bit, but if you are bigger that a size 6, they are not really interested in you.

Love for Gwynnie Bee

By Katie K., Andalusia, AL, Verified Reviewer

I absolutely love Gwynnie Bee! I look forward to my new items every week. Nothing beats being able to wear something before you decide to purchase it. I love that Gwynnie Bee has given me the guts to try new styles and step out of my comfort zone. I'm so glad I made the decision to give Gwynnie Bee a try. A year later and I'm still pretty sure it's the best decision I've made for myself lately!

Gwynnie Bee is a really good company

By Patti C., Amarillo, TX, Verified Reviewer

Gwynnie Bee is a really great company. It is wonderful to pick out so many different outfits and have them in your closet. They send the clothes and you receive them in 2-3 days so you don"t have to wait long. I like the fact that I can buy the item if I really like it. The only drawback is that if it is a popular item, then you might have to wait a while to get the item. It is reasonably priced, and I love that you can earn points and turn them into cash to buy items.

Long time customer

By Lisa M., Nashville, TN, Verified Reviewer

I joined Gwynnie Bee several years ago as a way to have professional clothing for my job without having to spend tons of money. It has been a life saver for me.

While using this service, I've also enjoyed trying new things I would never have purchased outright for myself. It's helped me develop a new style, and the confidence boost from being able to dress in trendy and expensive clothing is priceless! The service has always been as described, mostly on time, and any issue resolved professionally and quickly by Gwynnie Bee support staff. A side bonus is being able to purchase styles that are going out of rotation at a fraction of the cost. I just purchased 5 dresses for $5 each! They look nearly new!

I absolutely love Gwynnie Bee and recommend it to other women whenever I can! Keep up the great work!

Love Gwynnie Bee

By Cathy O., Los Gatos, CA, Verified Reviewer

I really enjoy Gwynnie Bee and look forward to my packages! I like that you get to choose what you put in your virtual closet, not just hope someone on the other end chooses something you like. Shipping is quick. When I notify that I'm returning a garment or garments, my next shipment gets sent in a timely manner which I really appreciate. Speedy shipments are part of what keep me subscribing.

It's helpful that two people review the item when it's posted so you can see what it looks like on different people who aren't models and they give a review. The more honest those are, the better. I've noticed that those reviews have become more honest lately which is an improvement. Having subscribers review the items is an essential part of Gwynnie Bee as well. I think Gwynnie Bee has saved me hundreds of dollars over the past year!

Great service!

By Rebecca W., San Jose, CA, Verified Reviewer

I love that I can try out styles that are outside of what I usually wear, as well as getting styles I know I love. I have fluctuations in my weight and size enough that I don’t want to spend money on a new wardrobe every six months. This lets me find comfortable, well-fitting clothes throughout. I have purchased a few things, but I mostly just wear things several times and send back for more new to me items. I love how much it feels like my wardrobe has expanded!

Love it, flaws and all

By Emily P., Alabama, Verified Reviewer

Gwynnie Bee has been a great addition to my life. I get so many compliments on the unique dresses, and how I always have something new and interesting to wear. I tell everyone about Gwynnie Bee and how much I love it! I don't have a need to go shopping to update my wardrobe knowing that something new is on its way to me. While there are some problems, specifically the excessive turn-around time between garments, even though I always alert Gwynnie Bee that I am mailing a garment back using the website. It can take a week or more to get another item. It has been a great, fun way to expand my wardrobe.

The best investment

By Desiree K., Illinois, Verified Reviewer

I just want to say that being a customer with Gwynnie Bee has been a very rewarding experience for me. Being able to wear so many amazing clothes and dresses has impacted my life in such a positive way and has given me both style and confidence beyond measure. I love setting trends at work and in my personal life and Gwynnie Bee has given me the tools to do just that. The stress of what to wear every day has been removed, and I have been very proud to recommend others to your service. There have been minimal issues over the years, and I just can't wait to see what new things I'll be wearing in the months and years ahead. Thank you Gwynnie Bee!

I love it

By Dana A., Owings Mills, MD, Verified Reviewer

I started the subscription at the urge of my husband, and initially, I was very hesitant. I think it was because it would be a waste of time. NOT! I LOVE going online, choosing clothes, getting them, trying them on at home, wearing or sending back, and waiting on the next box. I love the fact that it looks like I have a vast wardrobe because I send items back after wearing once. The ones I've purchased have always been at a major discount.

I understand that it's not for everybody, but I love it. In fact, I was wearing a different dress each Sunday, and as soon as I walked in, my admin assistant asked if it was new, then we would say together, "Gwynnie Bee baby, Gwynnie Bee."

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!

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.
