Here’s my honest Deux Reines Review based on the two outfits I received from them last month.
If you’ve read my blog before, you know that I’m a tough critic when it comes to e-tailers. And it’s not because I’m accustomed to couture, I’m just sick of brands taking advantage of their customers by charging high prices for very low quality.
Recently I received two outfits from Deux Reines, an online store.
Both were cute two-piece matching outfits, which are my fave because It’s like three outfits in one. I got the ‘Zahara’ Striped Crop Top and Pants Set, and the ‘Alexi’ 2 Piece Mini Bandage Set. I got both in size Small (they didn’t offer XS).
Here are some pics of me in both looks, and the pros and cons of my entire shopping experience with Deux Reines.
My Deux Reines Review
The Zahara Set
The Good:
• The packaging was prime
Nice packaging is underrated, and when I got my package from Deux Reines, I was immediately impressed. My clothing was folded nicely and delivered in a fancy black, super sturdy labeled box. Included inside was a nice letter thanking me for my purchase.
The Alexi Set
The Bad:
• Shipping was very slow
I paid $25 for 2-day shipping in hopes of receiving my goodies before my trip to China, but my stuff wasn’t even shipped until 2+ days after I had placed my order.
• The clothing quality was poor
I would compare the clothing quality to a little worse than the average Forever 21 piece. The striped pants set was do-able, just very thin. The bandage set, on the other hand, was pretty awful. Before I even wore it, the hems started rolling upwards.
• The prices were high for the quality
I know $50 for a two piece set is not a lot, but when the quality is this rough, I expect things to be cheaper — or at least for the pieces to be sold separately so you can purchase a different sized top and bottom.
• They don’t offer XS or XL
I’ve accepted at this point that ever since my surgery in January, I need an XS if I want my clothes to fit me right. Unfortunately, since Deux Reines didn’t have XS, I hoped the bandage set at least would be tight and stretchy. However, that wasn’t the case. Both items were fine to wear in photos, but realistically they weren’t as flattering on me since they were both a bit big on my waist and hips. I expected better from something bandage.
Because of the fit and quality of the items I got, I’m not sure if I really see myself wearing either again…but here are photos of how I styled the sets anyway!
I hope you enjoyed my Deux Reines review and it helped inform you about purchasing from them! If there are certain places you’d like me to review — let me know!
