Gwynnie Bee Reviews

I have liked Gwynnie Bee because I constantly have new things to add into my wardrobe and wear. Often I keep them for a week or two and then move on but sometimes I like them so much I buy them and then begin to look to that brand for other styles I might like. They seem to get more styles from brands in more sizes than I can find in retail stores or even online. Plus it is fun to get a box with new things to wear! Returning is super easy and the website works well.

I joined Gwynnie Bee because I wanted to build up my closet of professional clothing for work. Finding fashionable, high-quality clothing in plus sizes is challenging under the best of circumstances; living in a state that has yet to open a Lane Bryant makes it even worse. Gwynnie Bee allows me to pick out items that appeal to me and then test them out in the real world without the risk of spending a lot of money on an outfit that only gets worn once. Great in the fitting room and great on the street are two wildly different things, especially in harder to fit sizes. Gwynnie Bee allows me the freedom to try out styles that I’m less certain will fit/flatter me, and that has lead to some happy discoveries. Additionally, when I do find pieces that I like I have the opportunity to purchase them at deep discounts. Items that I don’t love get sent back with no hassles. This is absolutely worth the money I spend each month. I’m well-dressed, I feel good about myself in clothing that I selected, and I feel equal to any situation I may find myself in. Thank you for a great service; I LOVE GWYNNIE BEE!

I have been a continual subscriber for four years! I love this service! I don’t know why everyone I give my code to for a free monthly trial doesn’t use it. You have an ever-changing wardrobe that you never need to wash!

I've been a member of Gwynnie Bee for the last 5 years! Being a short round lady, when I first joined, I was quite skeptical about fashionable, rented clothes fitting me. Now, I'm a true fan.

I absolutely love the styles and quick turn-around is phenomenal too!

I have been with GB for several years. In between that time I have gone through several, maybe all, other clothing rental services while still keeping my GB. GB has been the best when it comes to consistency, variety, sizing and most importantly, customer service. I am a plus size and GB has lifted my self esteem by letting me try different styles and wear something different every day. People notice. GB is the best all around.

I have really enjoyed Gwynnie Bee’s service! I love to shop and this has made my love of shopping more affordable! I’ve only received a few items that I didn’t like but I was going out of my comfort zone trying new things! I get so many compliments on everything I wear from Gwynnie Bee! I love that I’m choosing the clothes and a very accurate size guide gets me the right fit. I love the option to prioritize my favorites, I’m always looking everyday as new items a put out often.

I adore Gwynnie Bee! This service allows me to try styles and prints I’d normally never try, mostly with amazing results! It also allows me to keep my wardrobe updated and keep up with my changing sizes. It also helps me cut down on my impulse bog box clothing purchases.

I’ve been a member since August of 2015. I love the convenience of receiving deliveries at my home and not having to worry about trips to the dry cleaners. I always get such wonderful compliments on my outfits and I always look forward to the next box.

I've been with Gwynnie Bee for about a year and I love having a personal shopper! When I started I, like a lot of customers, sent most things back. I discovered that I needed to be clear about what I wanted and to close things more often.

I'm actually my own personal shopper. I love looking at the new styles and adding new items to my closet. I've also learned to reset my priorities frequently. If I want seasonal items, I've got to make them a priority.

Each time I have on a Gwynnie Bee item, I get tons of compliments. I'm disabled and shopping with Gwynnie Bee makes my life easier and my wardrobe stays fresh and new!

I have used GB for a few years now. I always find lovely items and love that I can wear them a few times and return. It has been exceptionally helpful as I've lost weight - I could change sizes without changing my entire closet.

I am one of those people that only wear things I buy a few times. So Gwynnie Bee is perfect for me. I have a constant supply of new clothes to wear. I always get compliments on my Gwynnie Bee pieces. I am actually wearing a shirt I bought from Gwynnie Bee right now!

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

Love this company! It's cured my online shopping addiction AND I look great! Tons of great clothes to choose from. Lots of on-trend looks and no more "frumpy old lady plus size section". Shipping and dry cleaning included in the monthly fee! What's not to love!

One of the questions that my co-workers often ask is "How big is your closet?" My subscription with Gwynnie Bee allows me to wear new items all the time.

Deciding what to wear in the morning is no longer a hard time for me. Having Gwynnie Bee is a corporate game changer as it makes wearing designer clothes a possibility.

I love this company and will always be a member!

I have been with GB for more years than I can remember! When I was traveling for months at a time, I would transfer my shipments to where I was living as I didn't want to miss out on any of my treats!

Gwynnie Bee has introduced me to my new (EXPENSIVE) guilty pleasure, Johnny Was! I own way too many pieces and have spent way too many dollars on it, but I LOVE IT! I have turned others on to it, too! I am such a fan now I have even gone to their store in LA!

My only issue is that sometimes for various reasons, I would like to put my subscription on hold or "vacation" but that is not an option. That is one thing that would make this more attractive to others I think. (Also, if you cancel and come back, it's at a higher rate, so if I need a hiatus I either have to pay more or not come back.)

I do love Gwynnie Bee and hope that they consider this suggestion!

I love GB! They have exceptional clothing and a genius concept. I love wearing something new each time I pick up my mail and sending it back when I am done. I realize I have also purchased quite a few pieces over the years. Any time I have interacted with their service staff they have been helpful and efficient. Love love love!

I've been a member since 2014 and continue to LOVE Gwynnie Bee. It's not easy to find comfortable and stylish clothes as a plus size woman. Gwynnie Bee has consistently offered wonderful choices over the years. There is truly something for everyone and if you like an item enough to keep it their discounts are amazing! I can't recommend this service enough.

I am still in my first month but just received my first shipment and I was very pleased. I see other reviews about what plus size women should not be wearing but the truth is that any woman should wear what they want whether or not it has horizontal strips., who cares!

I think they have a good selection. My only concern was how quick they get them to me and process the returns. I received my first shipment very quickly and I am ready to return starting tomorrow and even bought a great dress for $6.00.

Great service for a working woman who doesn't have a lot of time to shop and try on clothes.

I have been a member of Gwynnie Bee for several months now, and overall I am enjoying the service and I think it is worth the money. I started with the free trial (one month with 3 items out at a time) and quickly upgraded to the 7-items-at-once plan. I may upgrade again to the maximum plan available (10 items). The selection of clothes is decent, but admittedly could be better. They seem to focus on dresses and tops, although they do have pants and skirts and jackets too. They add new fashions at least once a week, and sometimes a couple of times a week. Turnaround times on shipments have been very prompt.

One great thing about this service is that it allows you to try new things without a purchase commitment, and members write reviews of items, with photos and size info (runs small, runs big, etc), which is so helpful in making selections. I've really enjoyed the variety it has added to my wardrobe. I feel like I am wearing new things all the time. I am the type who gets bored quickly with clothing items, so it's a big plus to be able to wear things once or twice and send them back. If you fall in love with an item, you can purchase it, which I have done several times. I do recommend giving it a try -- especially because you can do a one-month free trial.

I LOVE the concept of Gwynnie Bee. I own a marketing company and am the "face" of my company, so being stylish and bold is important to me. I love being able to wear clothes and send them back and keep my wardrobe ever changing. I have to say I'm glad that I'm locked in at the old pricing because as much as I love the service, I don't think I could justify the new pricing in my budget.

Shipping and return times have gotten pretty long too. In years past, I was getting a shipment or two per week. Now I'm lucky if I get one a week or every other week. That has been frustrating. Also, some of the inventory has been a little lacking. I find more weeks than not that I'm not as excited about the options as I was before. I'm glad you're embracing trends, but I'm sick of seeing cold shoulder everything!

I'm also glad you've embraced straight sized options, but it would be nice to see something in the sizing guidelines as to what's straight vs. plus. It's hard when some brands are sized as small, medium and large, to know if that small is a straight size small vs. a plus size small. I know it is determined by brand but it would be great if the distinction could be made more clear.

All in all, I'm happy with Gwynnie Bee and will continue the service. But I do hope for more exciting clothing options and shipping times.

I mostly rent dresses and tops as a way to add variety to my work clothes. I wish it was a little less expensive, but it’s still worth the cost for me. Sometimes I do have an issue getting something that’s a little dressier than I want for work, or wishing I could get something dressier for a more formal occasion on a specific date.

I have had this service for a while now and I think the business concept is fantastic. I have bought many pieces, and it's amazing to be able to wear it before you buy it. Now that I've had the service for a while I am beginning to feel like all the pieces are looking the same and I am finding less and fewer items I want to closet. They could definitely improve their styles. A lot of the items look similar and I have found myself thinking while scrolling through new arrivals, "Whoever their buyer loves a weird pirate sleeve! Ugh!"

Overall, this is a great service, but their styles could use improvement. I would recommend to a friend but warn them that the styles might get stale after a while.

I started with Gwynnie Bee when I was a size 14/16 and loved it! Especially the retro style dresses and wide selection of jeans. But I lost weight, and now I struggle to find anything in my size. The size suggestions just give me the smallest size, and that is often way too big. Also, the cool retro dresses have become so popular that you can't even closet them leaving me with boring choices. Gwynnie Bee needs to add more choices from brands like Hellbunny, Modcloth, Cherry Velvet, and EShakti not just one or two from each brand. At size 10/12 I'm too big for most of Le Tote's inventory but too small for Gwynnie Bee and it's very frustrating.

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.

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

I love having an endless wardrobe! I get so many compliments all the time about my outfits and it makes looking professional at work a breeze! My only complaint is that I often have to send things back because the sizing isn’t right, but that is the sizing the individual companies give GB so not really their fault.

I have been with Gwynnie Bee for several years. I love this service. I started with the company early and have witnessed the evolution in styles, sizes, vendors, jewelry, and shoes. Also noticed a lot of other companies offering similar services, but GB is the original. I love the items that I've purchased and always get compliments and have never, EVER seen anyone in clothing I own from GB.

There are so many things I love about Gwynnie Bee, from the excitement of opening my boxes, to the confidence I feel when I have a well fitting dress, to the way my husband looks at me and makes me feel sexy again. I ride the high of compliments pretty much every day when I get compliments like "I love your dress!" And I always respond "Thanks, it’s Gwynnie Bee! And they have a free month trial. You should try it." I wish there was some magical way to account for the number of strangers I’ve referred!

I love not having to do laundry or drive to the dry cleaners. Returns are easy. The customer service on the phone is always fantastic. Always feel valued and treated like a valued customer. Online/email help not as helpful like they have to follow certain protocols before they can take extra steps to correct.

My biggest complaint is how slow the boxes come and that they are automated without any input for style, like the time I got 5 pairs of jeans. What? Would have liked a mix of items. Also, a warning when you place an item in your closet in a different size when you already have one. Like "You already have this item in your closet in another size, are you sure you want to add?" I felt cheated when I did this inadvertently and both sizes were shipped in the same box. Had one less outfit that week but I’m sure there are times someone might like to order two sizes to find the right fit.

Regarding slowness, I have been really frustrated with the time in between boxes. And that when customer service would add items in hopes of making me happier (which it did) they didn’t tell me I was changing the plan long term and committing to a new level. I thought they were giving me a free month to try out that package and then it would revert but I kept seeing my bill climb month after month. And when I got to 5 items I was super frustrated. I still started 3 weeks in a row without an outfit for the weekend or Monday even when I reported I was reporting I was returning them in the app the moment they arrived. It’s gotten a bit better since customer service said to report them as returned as soon as they hit my in home section and not even wait til they get to the house but then my ratings on the style and size are meaningless because I haven’t actually tried anything on. That hasn’t seemed to be a big issue though.

Ultimately I felt totally ripped off for 5 items when I went so many work days without an outfit and there’s such a big jump in price from 3 to 5 items that I didn’t think matched the jump. I was charged $150, or maybe I bought an item that month now that I think about it. Anyway, an extra $50 for two items that never showed up in a timely manner wasn’t worth it so I went back to 3 knowing I may have to wear something of my own.

Thanks for your hard work to improve the customer service experience. I’m a huge fan. Gwynnie Bee has improved my quality of life in many ways and earned me lots of respect in my new position because it allows me to "dress the part." Y’all rock!
