I've ordered from Venus a few times. Pros-Their shipping is super fast. I get my order two days after I place it. They have cute stuff. Cons-they charge for return shipping. The clothes are cheaply made. Shirt sleeves are uneven, as in diameter and length. I recently ordered a cute polka dot top and the stitching was off, pattern was crooked. I ordered two of the same shirts in different colors, both shirts had one sleeve that was much bigger-uncomfortable and too noticeable to keep. Their sizes are not consistent. Their pajama pants run large when ordering a small.

Now you can look at the photo and try to justify the defect with positioning etc. so if you don't believe me, order one for yourself. Something of off. This seems to be common with a lot of their stuff. Hope they fix these issues bc they do have some cute stuff I'd like to keep.

I have been ordering from Venus for a good 4+ years. At first they were easy to deal with and items were close to what the pictures showed. Last year or so the quality is hit and miss, and so is the items looking like the pictures. I have had issues in the past, but they usually get resolved, after a phone call or two.

This last time (mid march to late march) I ordered a bunch of things at different times, for an upcoming trip. I sent some back for refunds, and others I needed a different size. They refunded me back all the items I sent, including the ones I clearly marked exchange on. I have called twice now, first was told it was an internal error and would be corrected, the second time got a rude person who said, just reorder them. I explained they were on sale when I did order them, and just wanted a different size, she said too late, error was made and no way to give me my items at price I originally paid. I am now having to go shop for some items I was hoping to bring on my trip from a local store.
I will think twice before ordering from them again. I used to keep 75% of their items, now lucky if 25% fit for the size they are marked, and if they look like the picture at all. I have items from them that are XS, and then have items that I need a medium in, the sizes vary too much to know what size to order. Between the calls, shipping and return charges and the disappointment of getting an item that looks nothing like the picture, I am just wasting my time with them. I emailed them again today regarding this, but will be surprised if I ever get a response.

This is the most honest review you will ever read so I hope it helps soneone. I was looking at their stuff online after an ad on Facebook and loved it. I ended up ordering 2 tops and a romper. AFTER I ordered I started reading some very unflattering reviews especially from Canadians about hidden costs, duties etc. So I was very worried, and even worse comments about quality which was very disappointing. Here's my story - yes I got an email about paying duties to some company so I chose COD so that I could just send the whole order back and cut my losses. It took 3 weeks (their tracking service is horrible) but I got it in th mail - no COD and no duties charged to my cc. When I opened the package I was pleasantly surprised! The two tops were exactly as pictured! Not only that I am almost always a medium/small and ordered medium in both tops and they fit/look great! The only issue is with the romper - it's exactly as pictured however after reading other reviews how it ran very small I ordered a large and it's way too big. I'm not going to bother sending it back I'll just gift it to someone who might like it or donate it. I'd give them 4 stars (I rarely give 5) but I was a bit pissed about the duties/taxes thing - seems to be a scam as I've ordered many things from the US and that's usually included. At the very least they should say that big and bold BEFORE you pay for your items.

Really nice website- clothes seem well made but sadly, they're not.:(
Several items, tops-( cold shoulder and sleeveless) have shrank to 2 sizes smaller and not even close to the same color- below photo was an aqua blue size L, it is now a faded out blue and barely a medium- This after 1 wash with instructions followed. Bathing suit bottoms are very thin and cheap. Way over priced for the quality received. I wish this wasn't the truth but unfortunately it is. I do like the jeans so far but the rest is for the most part junk. My order exceeded 360.00 I will not purchase anymore from Venus. Also to note, this shirt below says lascana made for Venus. Going to see if they're the same company. If so, that will be another disappointment as I just added a bunch of stuff to my cart from lascana. Buyer beware!

If you're ordering from Canada heads up they will send you an email after you order to pay the duties and taxes which tend to be high so ballpark an additional 30-50 bucks for the products to go through customs based on a 100-150$ order. My advice would be to buy when things are on sale to curb the cost difference (not to mention it's in US dollars so you're taking another hit there. That's the only reason I'm giving 4 stars. Otherwise ivhave been ordering from them for almost 10 years (tops, dresses, baithing suits) I've never ordered the pants or shoes becuase those are way less easy to gauge sizing on. As a rule of thumb I just don't order those things online. I love the styles for the most part they fit great. The only downside I have is a lot if the tops I find are built for women with long torsos. So a lot of my tops I get from there end up being tunics but that's ok. Now that I know that I usually order them with that in mind knowing I can pair it up with a cute legging and heels. Im 5'5 I have a 3 8D bust a 30 inch waist and a 38 inch hip so I'm an average hourglass shape and I order a size large. But I also read the reviews on each product page to see if it runs small and what other people think about it. Sometimes there's customer photos so it helps. Overall I like the shop. I don't really buy clothing from anywhere else is say 75% of my wardrobe us from here. Kinda hoping the exchange rate adjusts a little so I can buy more stuff becuase right now it's just too damned expensive with the exchange rates :(

I instantly liked the coat when I saw it on line and ordered right away. Although the coat is listed as size 20, the sleeves though are a size 24- too long, too wide and the coat is a size 16. It is snug. But the workmanship on the coat is good. The lining is completely sewn in. It is not "tacked in" at various spots on the coat and the remainder left flapping loose. I received the coat in 4 days. It was promised in 4-7 days. I never dealt with the company before. But I am pleased. Love the color which is unusual for me. I have a steady wardrobe preference of black. I would order again from the company but would pay more attention to the listed dimensions. I wish there were more plus size real business type options; tops, dresses and suits.

Ordered a dress nothing like it was on picture returned it 3 weeks ago they have told me 4 times they received it but still no refund. The even put me on hold and told me they were doing to refund while I was on hold. They then came back and told.me the deducted tax and the return postage. I'm reporting them to the BBB they lie and they are just making money off honest people and prolly sending it to other countries. Worse customer service very rude. Liers!

I absolutely love the selection of clothing that Venus has.
The quality on the items I ordered was good for the price and are still looking good after a few years.
My husband was impressed and very complimentary.
Really like that you have longer lengths of tops that cover with a feminine style that accents a curvy figure.
Always enjoy the catalog and browsing online.
Thank-you for classic affordable fashion that is functional and comfortable.
