    I liked their blouses until Roz and Ali disappeared, this new manufacturer sized down the tops and they do not fit as well as the Roz and Ali. Just last month I placed an order with Dressbarn and I waited 2 weeks looking at my order and having it say it is being processed. I emailed support only to find out that they are out of what I ordered! Now I am waiting to see if they refund my money like they said they would. YIKES! Why didn't they tell me they didn't have the items anymore? (Because I think they lost my order)? And frankly they are out of all of three different tops I ordered, really? Are they going out of business again?

    I bought a pair of shorts that fit well, but I am quite offended by the packaging that professed the “love in Faith” as well as “Jesus loves you”. I will never purchase from Dress Barn again.

      I have loved Dressbarn jeans in the past, however since they are selling online only now their returns are terrible. I returned all 3 jeans, refunds are only as store credit. I ordered and retired in March, I still have no refund. And I will have to spend all of the money for their product online. Disgusted and dissatisfied!

      I have been trying to contact a person in customer service since December. All the responses are the same AI response. There is no phone number to contact. Like many others in reviews, I only received one item from my order. There were to be 2 items. Originally the response was, "You must have missed it in the bag." I sent them a picture of the packing slip listing one item then I started receiving the AI responses. Today I filed a dispute with my credit card company because I was charged for both items. I am done with Dressbarn.

      I ordered 4 items. 1 arrived, but was a size 22 (I ordered an 8). Customer Service responded a few times, but then ghosted without a resolution. Two of the remaining 3 items show as shipped, but the tracking information never changes. There has been no communication regarding my 4th item, and I never received it. I attempted to contact Customer Service via both email, but received no response. I attempted to call, but the number was only a recording telling me to call 611.

      Dressbarn is no longer the reliable online clothing supplier I depended on for years. I feel duped. I ordered 5 pairs of jeans online. The price seemed high but in the past the quality was good and I had no doubt about the fit. I waited a full week for the package to arrive. I got ONE pair, but was charged for FIVE. There was NO NOTICE about a split delivery or a shortage of product so I was completely blindsided. Then I tried on the jeans, or rather, TRIED to try them on. They were marked for my size but I literally could not get over my hips. I am requesting a full refund. It is a very rude shock because they were always so good in the past.

      I would give less than 1 star, if offered! Don’t buy from this company, unless you don’t care about possibly wanting to exchange something. Their BOT is the most worthless bot on the internet, along with their non-existent customer service. Their BOT (upon me making a request to return for a different size) told me I would be receiving an email with return instructions to exchange. I have contacted their BOT 4 times now. The last time, it said my 30 days was up, even though my first request was the day I received my order. I loved their store when it was here and shopped there from the day they opened until the day they closed. But this website?? Awful! I will never buy from them again.

      Do not order from Dressbarn if there is the slightest possibility that you may need to return it. They do not give refunds, only store credits, you are out the shipping charges, and it took OVER 2 MONTHS to process! I initiated a return on Jan. 5, sent a second request for a shipping label on Jan. 13, sent the item back on Jan. 17, requested a status update on Feb. 20 (and received a response that it will be processed “next week”), requested a second status update on Mar. 13 and on Mar. 14 (probably the next day only because I emailed again!) I FINALLY RECEIVED THE CREDIT 9-1/2 WEEKS AFTER I INITIATED THE RETURN. You would think I would have learned my lesson and NOT order something with my store credit that must be tried on but I took a chance. When that item didn’t fit, I had to go through the whole process again.

      On April 9, I initiated the return of that item and two emails and 5 weeks later, I finally received my store credit (again, less shipping so I kept losing money with each transaction). This time I ordered an inexpensive pair of earrings so that my store credit would also cover shipping. I still have a $4 credit, which I will be forfeiting. It’s really a shame because I do like their merchandise and always found something I wanted when I went into their brick and mortar store that closed.

      I have been a customer of Dress Barn for many years and have NEVER had any problems. Until my last purchase - their Customer Service simply doesn't exist these days. I placed an online order - however did not receive one of the tops. I followed their instructions and reported this, included order number and a picture of the invoice.

      I received an initial acknowledgement approximately 2 weeks later with a request for another picture, which I provided within 24 hours of the request. From that point on - no communication whatsoever. I sent several emails, asking for someone to contact me. Still nothing. I requested via email for a manager to contact me. Still nothing... finally after 4 months and several emails.... I received an email - no apology just an email stating "We will give you a store credit for the missing item."

      I would have rather received a credit to my payment method, but that was NOT an option. I will use this credit and NEVER shop Dress Barn again - I'm sad to see how this Company has changed. It is sad to see another established business change their standards to such a low level - I can't imagine they will remain in business much longer.

      I ordered a dress initially and it didn't look nearly high quality enough to be worth the $185 they were claiming it was - so I returned it. After having to pay $10 to return the item I used my STORE CREDIT (no real refunds allowed) to buy more items that seemed like safer bets. All of them came in poorly sized (inaccurate or missing size charts from the website) or broken. I asked for a real refund cos at this point - I didn't trust them to make a quality item. I was told I'd be refunded and sent the items back (worth $84$). Despite the items being broken - I was only refunded half the amount IN STORE CREDIT. At this point they've scammed me out of so much money and customer service is IMPOSSIBLE to deal with. 90% of their products can be found on other sites much cheaper. DO NOT BUY FROM THEM.

      I figured I'd try them. Ordered 2 different sizes/colors of same outfit for my mom in September for my son's wedding at the end of October. I was immediately contacted that 1 was delayed by vendor. Nope, can't do that because these are for a wedding. They offered a gift card! I emailed them that a gc was NOT acceptable when it's a vendor issue and to just cancel the whole order. Took some fighting but I got the refund for the delayed outfit. However, they still sent the 2nd one anyway. The 2nd outfit was not acceptable so emailed for return authorization. I had to email 3 times before I got it. I sent the outfit back in unworn, new condition with tags still attached and heard nothing for 2 weeks. Emailed twice with no answer. Checked tracking, shows package was received by them and still had to email twice more. They tried to say I was already refunded!!! By now I'm livid.

      I sent a detailed description of what transpired originally and that the refund I received in September was for the outfit that was vendor delayed in September and NOT for the one I sent back THIS month (NOVEMBER 2 TO BE EXACT). They tried implying I was lying. I had to send credit card screenshots of transactions, pics of their return record with tracking number AND a screen grab of tracking showing the return was delivered and picked up by them IN NOVEMBER. They told me their return policy states store credit (gc) only for returns. I asked them if their policy included insinuating that customers are lying and taking over 2 weeks to even answer an email when they HAVE HAD THEIR MERCHANDISE!
