Loragal Review and Order Details
I ordered the below items on 10/17/2023 to my address in North Carolina (United States). I paid a total of $181.96 to Yike Times Co., Ltd. via PayPal. The charge appears on my credit card statement as “PAYPAL *YIKETIMESCOJ6YL”. – View Order Confirmation
1) Deep V-Neck Cami Asymmetric Ruffled A-Line Maxi Dress
- Color, Size, and Cost: Red / M / $42.99
- Country: Made in China
- Material: 95% Polyester / 5% Cotton
Expectation: It is what I was expecting, for the most part, in terms of overall appearance. The chest area offers a bit less coverage in person and seems to be a different shape. This could partly be due to the size I chose.
Quality: In my opinion, the quality of the material is mediocre (but acceptable enough), however, it is very poorly constructed (there is a hole due to misalignment in the sewing process). See my Quality Comparison & Rating Chart to know my current quality-rating standards.
Fit: I ordered based on the size guide provided, and it fits well. View my Body Measurements for size reference.
Keep or Return: I would return this Loragal dress.
While I absolutely LOVE the fit, the soft and semi-stretchy material, the double-layered chest, and the classic ruffles, I can’t justify paying over $40 for this. It is overall sloppily sewn with loose threads all over the place. There is a section where the material wasn’t aligned before sewing, and as a result, has a hole.
2) Cross-Halter Sequin Cut-Out Cocktail Midi Dresses
- Color, Size, and Cost: Red / XL / $49.99
- Country: Made in China
- Material: 95% Polyester / 5% Spandex
Expectation: It is exactly what I was expecting in terms of overall appearance.
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 it fits at least 2 sizes too big. I was sent an XXL when I ordered an XL. View my Body Measurements for size reference.
Keep or Return: I would return this Loragal dress.
Firstly, the material is really thin and flimsy. Secondly, the strip sewn vertically on the mesh in the front is off-center. And lastly, this is atrociously sewn. Many long loose threads, exposed raw edges on the inside, and the zipper is poorly sewn on. Considering how poor quality this is, it is much too expensive.
3) Off-Shoulder Lantern-Sleeve Crop Top & Maxi Skirt Set
- Color, Size, and Cost: Beige / L / $39.99
- Country: Made in China
- Material: 95% Polyester / 5% Spandex
Expectation: It is VERY different from what I was expecting in terms of overall appearance. The top has warmer orange and brown tones in the product image, the skirt shows decorative folds that mine does not have, and it also looks much flowier in the product image.
Quality: In my opinion, the quality of the top is okay, but the skirt is bad. 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 it isn’t the right proportions for my body shape. The top is 1-2 sizes too big, and the bottoms are 1 size too small. View my Body Measurements for size reference.
Keep or Return: I would return this Loragal two-piece skirt set.
While I like the quality of the top (it feels decently thick and smooth), the overall fit is off. The skirt is see-through, not flowy, and the quality is worse than the top. I also see some loose threads in a few areas. Maybe this would fit someone with smaller hips and a bigger bust much better…
4) Party Reflective Half-Sleeve V-Neck Wide-Leg Jumpsuit
- Color, Size, and Cost: Green / L / $48.99
- Country: Made in China
- Material: 95% Polyester / 5% Spandex
Expectation: It is VERY different from what I was expecting in terms of overall appearance. The color isn’t the same shade of green, the material/texture looks WILDLY different (along with the reflectiveness), and the waistband fits very differently.
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 fits 1-2 sizes too big. View my Body Measurements for size reference.
Keep or Return: I would return this Loragal jumpsuit.
This is a very interesting garment. The best way I can describe the material is like a silky, thin, metallic trash bag. The quality feels a lot like a 70’s Saint Patrick’s Day costume you might buy in a bag at Party City. I see loose threads and poorly sewn areas. Specifically, one of the pockets has a large hole from the inside due to the fabric not being aligned properly. Overall, this jumpsuit is wildly expensive considering how poor quality it is.

I received a full refund of $181.96 on December 29th. I received it 42 days after I mailed the package. – View Refund Receipt
Provided Return Address– 98 Wakefield Ave #3C, Staten Island, NY 10314
Note: If your return is international, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND that you print out the address in the local language (if you can get it) and tape it on the package. You will need to ask them for it, as they will likely only provide you with the Romanized English version of the address. Per the advice of a USPS worker, this should help with delivery once the package reaches the destination country.
Support Experience
- I had to ask for the return information FOUR TIMES before they provided it to me. They gave me the return address first, and then after another email of convincing me to keep the items, sent me a return form that I needed to fill out, print, and include in the return package.
- Upon asking for a return, they requested the return reason, and photos of the size tags on the product packages.
- They alternatively offered me a 20% refund + keep the items, or a discount code worth $72 + keep the items. After rejecting these offers, they bumped up their offer to a 50% refund. I rejected all offers.
Provided return instructions and guidelines:
- Before returning, please confirm the product(s) you return needs to be in original and intact condition. Item(s) should be put in the original bag(s) that have the product code(s).
- Print the attached return form, fill in the “reason for return” & “sign” sections, take a clear photo of the form, and then put it into the parcel.
- Send the package and take a clear photo of the delivery note and tracking number.
- After sending the package, kindly give us the tracking number and photos you took. They are necessary pieces of information for processing the refund in our system.
- Note: The return address is managed by a third-party cooperative company that only handles returns by mail. For any inquiries about a refund, please direct to our customer support.

Reverse Image Search:
I found several of the same products on AliExpress. For example, I found the below dress for $39.99 on Loragal, and $15.60 on AliExpress. 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, they are a legitimate shop. I paid for my items, received them within the estimated time frame, successfully completed a return, and received a full refund.
With that being said, I personally would not shop here again.
Firstly, all of my items are mediocre in quality at best. Two of the four items have holes in them from poor sewing. Secondly, it took a LONG time to receive my items. Over three weeks to be exact. Thirdly, I had to ask for the return information numerous times. They were insistent that I keep the items for a partial refund. And finally, after a reverse image search, many of their items can be found for MUCH cheaper on sites like AliExpress. With all of this in mind, I will be taking my business elsewhere.
