I purchased the following
dress from Sheinside on AliExpress for $20. It was one of their best sellers & I have a wedding to attend shortly & didn't want to spend >$50 on a dress that only gets worn a handful of times. At $20, I figured I didn't have much to loose. Before making the purchase, I made sure I had enough time for it to arrive since it takes anywhere from a month to 2 months to arrive.
It took about a month to arrive to Canada. It came via regular post & I was pleasantly surprised that the seller provided a tracking number I could use on the Canada Post website to see where the item was once it crossed the border. I wasn't worried about having to pay duty since the item was so cheap. I actually also purchased a shirt that wasn't as much of a success so lets not talk about that for now. It arrived in one big envelope with each of the items wrapped individually.

I was a little worried about the item not fitting me since it was rather fitted. I ordered a small & well it fit almost perfectly. There is a little puckering in the back where the zipper is but for $20, I won't complain. Also if I was to gain 10 more pounds or so, I would have to size up. It's rather snug but again for $20 fast fashion that I am happy with getting a few wears out of it.

So yes, I will be wearing the dress to the wedding & yes I'll be happy knowing I spent only $20 on the dress. So overall there are some good deals to be had on alixpress but also some bad deals. See that shirt to the left of my red dress above. Well it wasn't such a hit as the dress that it's already in the donate to salvation army pile. You can't win them all.
