Grace Sunny Review and Order Details
I ordered the below items on 10/10/2023 to my address in North Carolina (United States). I paid a total of $116.98 to FashLady Ltd (service@nfashionltd.com) via PayPal. The charge appears on my credit card statement as “PAYPAL *FASHLAD4VFN”. – View Order Confirmation
1) Sunset Floral Crop Bikini Set
- Color, Size, and Cost: Sandy Brown / M / $28.99
- Country: Made in China
- Material:
- Shell 1– 82% Nylon / 18% Spandex
- Shell 2– 85% Polyester / 15% Spandex
- Mesh Lining– 90% Polyester / 10% Spandex
Expectation: It isn’t what I was expecting in terms of overall appearance. In the product image, the bikini looks warmer in color and has an orange/yellow color scheme. The color scheme on mine is more pastel coral and mustard.
Quality: In my opinion, the quality is bad but wearable. See my Quality Comparison & Rating Chart to know my current quality-rating standards.
Fit: I ordered based on the size guide provided, and the top fits well, but the bottoms are a bit tight. View my Body Measurements for size reference.
Keep or Return: I would return this Grace Sunny swimsuit.
The bottoms are too small, the swimsuit is not entirely double-lined, the top seam connected to the shoulder straps is crooked and limp, and I see many loose threads all over the place.
2) Floral Ruched-Front One-Piece Swimsuit
- Color, Size, and Cost: Mahogany Paisley Floral / M / $30.99
- Country: Made in China
- Material: Different materials are listed in two places:
- Product page- Nylon / Spandex / Polyester
- Care label-
- (Shell) 85% Polyester / 15% Spandex
- (Mesh Lining) 90% Polyester / 10% Spandex
Expectation: It isn’t what I was expecting in terms of overall appearance. One of the chest straps and the ruched center look ill-fitting and poorly placed in person.
Quality: In my opinion, the quality is terrible and unwearable. See my Quality Comparison & Rating Chart to know my current quality-rating standards.
Fit: I ordered based on the size guide provided, and it is the right size, but not a good fit for my body shape. View my Body Measurements for size reference.
Keep or Return: I would return this Grace Sunny swimsuit.
This has got to be one of the most poorly designed, ill-fitting swimsuits I’ve tried on. The outermost strap does not lay across my chest cleanly. The ruched area in the center looks like a super loose and saggy mess. It is not at all figure-hugging, especially from the front. The bottom part is too tight, the stomach area is much too loose, and the top area is loose but okay-fitting. The swimsuit is also not entirely double-lined, which is pretty much an automatic return for me.
3) Crochet Sexy V-Neck Beach Cover-Up
- Color, Size, and Cost: Black / One Size /$28.00
- Country: Made in China
- Material: 50% Acrylic / 50% Polyester
Expectation: It is exactly what I was expecting in terms of overall appearance.
Quality: In my opinion, the quality is mediocre. See my Quality Comparison & Rating Chart to know my current quality-rating standards.
Fit: It is one size, and it fits well. View my Body Measurements for size reference.
Keep or Return: I would return this Grace Sunny cover-up.
While this is VERY cute, both design-wise and color-wise, it just isn’t made to last. The material is VERY soft and fragile. Frankly, I don’t think it would survive a single wash or dry cycle. Looking closely, all of the colorful yarn is barely secured. I can very easily untie many of the areas and essentially disassemble the whole garment. All of the areas where the yarn should be secured are just loosely knotted and can be undone with the slightest tension.
Shipment Info
I received three items in one package at my address in North Carolina (United States). The package came from a warehouse/ distribution center in the United States. I was provided a tracking number.

Return & Refund Info
I emailed support (service@gracesunny.com) to request a full return on October 25th. I went back and forth with them for several days, and they refused approval by withholding the return address. I filed a dispute/claim with PayPal on October 28th.
I let PayPal know that I did not receive an item, I wanted to return all the other items, and after over a week of asking, Grace Sunny refused to give me the return address.
On October 29th, they finally responded to my NUMEROUS emails with the return address… Since I had already filed a PayPal claim, I wanted to wait a few days to see what would happen with that. So, I didn’t respond right away. The reason I didn’t close the case when they gave me the address is because once you close a case, you are unable to re-open it.
Two days later on October 31st, Grace Sunny (through PayPal) offered me a partial refund of $29. I declined the offer. I have absolutely no clue why they thought it was a good idea to offer this.
PayPal closed the case in my favor, and I received a full refund of $116.98 on October 31st. – View Refund Receipt
Provided Return Address: 630 New County Rd. Suite 3, Secaucus NJ 07094
Note: If your return is international, I recommend printing out the native language version of the return address. For example, if your return is in China, print out the address written in Chinese characters. Tape it on the package next to the provided English address — per the advice of a USPS worker, doing this can help with delivery on the other side. You’ll probably need to ask the support team of the store you purchased from for the native version. They may or may not provide it to you, as it is not mandatory for successful delivery.
Support Experience
- They didn’t inform me about the out-of-stock item. I had to email them to find out the status.
- I asked for the return address SIX TIMES before filing a dispute/claim with PayPal.
- In their response emails, they first offered a 20% refund + keep the items, then a 30% refund + a 20% discount coupon + keep the items, and then finally a 50% refund + keep the items. I repeatedly rejected their offers and repeatedly asked for the return address. They REPEATEDLY ignored me.
- They also asked for images of the hygiene stickers on the bathing suits before they could give me the return address. I sent the pictures to them TWICE.
- Support emailed me SIX TIMES over the course of a week to tell me that the items were shipped. Every email has the exact same message, with the same tracking number.
Provided return instructions and guidelines:
- We gladly accept unworn, undamaged, unwashed items with original labels attached (the hang tag and transparent package).
- We currently are unable to offer a free returns service, so return shipping must be made at your own cost. We will check within 1 week of receiving the return parcel and refund the items you returned, not including the shipping fee as we have shipped it.
- Remember to give us a tracking number within 7 days after you receive the return address from us. Otherwise, we are afraid that we will not accept returns and no refunds.
- Please write down the following information on a piece of paper and put it in the parcel: Your order number, and product IDs (these were provided to me).

Reverse Image Search:
I found several of the same products on Amazon, AliExpress, Walmart, etc. for cheaper. For example, I found the below bikini for $29.88 on Grace Sunny, and for $21.99 on Amazon. I highly recommend doing reverse image searches when shopping online to ensure you are not getting ripped off.
Do I Recommend This Shop?
Based on my experience, this company is a scam. I paid for my items, and only received three out of four of them (which are all very subpar in quality). I had to inquire about the missing item, as they did not inform me that it was out-of-stock. I requested a return for everything, and they kept responding with templated messages that completely ignored my request for the return address.
They never approved my return, and I had to file a dispute/claim with PayPal. PayPal closed the case in my favor two days later and I was able to get a full refund. Grace Sunny also FINALLY responded with the address, and I mailed the items back.
