That's the one thing I have learned with shopping Inde brands online. Read all the fine print, then read it again. I've had items I had to email for a return code or it wouldn't be accepted and all the issues you've mentioned. Sorry to hear this didn't work out for you.
Domino Dollhouse has a skull print dress I am coveting SO hard even though I think I look silly in dresses. Glad to hear they're a decent lot to buy from!
Give dresses a chance! I always thought that dressed didn suit me, but I was absolutely wrong and now wear mainly dresses. Don't worry about looking silly.
Given that ASOS is a fast fashion site, I believe you, but I'm curious if you have any links or examples?
Edit to add: Actually found a few designs from Googling it (I initially tried different phrasing so nothing had turned up). Here / are / some / examples.
so... you're encouraging this community to not shop at SWAK because you failed to read their return policy before making a purchase? that seems a little disingenuous. and also a tad unfair to compare a label like swak to domino dollhouse, or even asos (who sell multiple brands, not just their own labels), all of which have wildly different aesthetics.
i mean, don't get me wrong, i'm not trying to be a jerk; swak's return policy really does suck, and it sucks that you didn't see it until after you became dissatisfied with your purchase. their return policy isn't standard at all, and i would have been pissed off, too. but i wonder if you would be encouraging fat people to not shop at one of the few clothing options we actually have if you'd been able to quickly find another item to redeem your store credit.
you're right, it was unfair to discourage people based on my experience on that part.
i was super pissed at the moment because i thought i'd take a look around and finally saw a dress that was decent and worth the price with the sale because honestly, $60 for a thin dress with a delicate cutout top and no lining and static cling was not worth $60 in my opinion. having still want the dress after it came and was willing to pay to return and pay again to buy it, which i think for a consumer is lenient already; but then i find out i would only get store credit. now that would work if the sale extended to whatever time span it would take to process my return and issue the store credit, but i had called yesterday and they said that they could not give me the dress for the sale price that i had bought it at. if anyone is an avid SWAK shopper, hey awesome for you to have a reason to buy new clothes because i'm always open to accept store credit for stores i know i will buy from. like i said, i was super pissed when i posted and frustrated

hey, i'm totally with you 100%. i personally wouldn't shop anywhere where i couldn't return a sale item.i've never shopped at swak, and i probably never will because i'm in agreement with you -- high price, average quality and design -- so i know i'd only buy on sale and, knowing now that i couldn't return it, NO THANKS. i think a lot of retailers have that "no exchanges" policy, where you have to return and re-buy (i think asos, eshakti, and a number of non-american brands that ship to the US do the same), and you totally get screwed when the sale price is no longer available. i wasn't trying to be rude, though, i hope you didn't take it that way. i think you made a good point.

I've seen things I've liked from http://www.jibrionline.com/. They are not cheap and I have not personally bought anything from them.
I try to support Indie brands, but honestly I go where I can get the styles I like and can afford.

I think I might write a post about it!

no judgement, just an observation.
