Stole my money, didn’t send the skirt.
Purchased a skirt that I sent back for an exchange and I never received the skirt or the refund. It is wonderful that so many people and celebrities got their product but I did not. I spent $140 for the skirt, $10 exchange fee and for sending the skirt back. I was blocked on social media, they refuse to respond to emails. Disgusting company.

“Luxury”? More like “ghetto thief”
I wish it was possible to give no stars. I have ordered from shop Oyemwen a year ago & things went smoothly. This time not at all. The issues started out when she was unable to finish my garment within her policy timeline. She then offered for me to receive the dress in a different color (which I chose). She began to ignore my emails, my dm’s & even delete my comments from under her pictures. I had to mention disputing the purchase with paypal in order to get a response and even then she’d respond without answering questions and only saying what she wanted to say. Well eventually we got to the point where I received “your package has shipped”, I was excited because she made sure to say it was in fact in the color I initially ordered. When I received my package I immediately noticed it was the wrong color. The tulle dress was in what I’d describe as “aqua blue” but in her comment section on insta she said it is “custom color” and my slip dress was “mint” which was the color I ordered the entire dress to be in. I contacted her about it she immediately said she was expedite the correct color dress but then asked me to pay $40 for the expediting of the new garment as well as paying to return ship the dress that I received. I explained how her mess up was not my responsibility to correct and that I would solely pay for the return shipping but in no way was I responsible for paying the $40 to expedite the correct dress. Her response came an entire day later despite me only having 4 days until my event and she said “I understand your frustration but the dress we sent is mint but we will send you the dress you desire for the $40”. This is when things get really rocky, because in no way is the BLUE color she sent me MINT (which is GREEN!) especially by her own wording under her pictures. I am planning to return ship the dress I received after disputing my purchase through Paypal. One less person purchasing from her won’t hurt her business but my experience is not the first or the last bad experience from this company.

My garment was not shipped
My garment was not shipped, I paid for expedited shipping and all and still haven’t received it in over a month. They also have been ignoring my dms on getting a refund for my order. I started to comment about how the company really is under their posts, but they blocked me within seconds. Makes me wonder how many other comments are hidden because they blocked the person’s account. This is a scam, do not spend your money here. It’s not guaranteed.

Don’t waste your time 3…
I started supporting this business 3 years ago. I ordered a customer piece this year that was made incorrectly both times. I was not giving the opportunity to get a refund or any discount for all my inconvenience. Don’t not shop with this company. Unless you are a celebrity your items will be made poorly.

This lady claims that her dresses are…
This lady claims that her dresses are custom made but it’s a complete lie! She is a fraud! I order a 2 piece set and the bottom came ok but the top came in completely wrong. She doesn’t like to give refunds so I’m disputing the order. My top came in to me two different times and was wrong each time. I asked for the refund and she ignored that email. DO NOT purchase anything from her and if you do purchase at your own risk. She needs to be honest and tell the folk that’s ordering that the products are made through a third party and then shipped out. I think her products that are custom made are the ones that she make herself. I WOILD NOT recommend her services to no one that doesn’t stay in the Atlanta area where you can’t drive to her store/house/warehouse to go and get your refund directly. One way or another I’m Going to get my money returned because she is a lair. The things people do for money is a shame! The second time she resent the garment she sent a postal stamp, then claimed she’ll send it out the third time but it’s been almost two weeks and there’s no return stamp so I know for a fact she’s going to not send it out because I truly believe she’s not planning on resending it because she know I want get what was described on the site. Such a sad case, this is exactly why black folk can’t support their own people because of the scamming and fraudulent activities that take place with them!

That feeling when you regret supporting a BLACK OWNED BUSINESS because they steal/scam
While I have supported her business in the past, she does NOT stand behind her customers when she is at fault for send them the incorrect color. Her policy states return or store credit but all that "policy" does is rip off the customer when they are NOT at fault. She ruined what would have been a special occasion for me by sending a completely different color than what i asked for/we agreed to to the tune of $600. Terrible business practices. I asked for a style of dress in a ROYAL BLUE color. She sent me a picture of the sequin color and fabric. It was perfect and I signed off on it. Instead of what I ASKED and PAID for, she sent me the dress in LIGHT TEAL! I was FURIOUS! It's not the color I asked for. She knows what color ROYAL BLUE is because she has it listed as a color for another outfit on her site. She keeps saying store credit or exchange but I do not wish to do business with a company that can't admit to making a mistake. Instead, she blames the customer and scams them out of their money. I want a refund. This situation warrants that because SHE made the mistake, not me. To be clear, the style of dress is beautiful which is why I picked it. She sent a completely different color than what I asked and spent my hard earned money for... ($600.00). I attached proof but I know she's going to delete this review.

FRAUD. SCAMMER. READ THE REVIEWS!
I hate that I didn't read the reviews on this company first! They are FRAUDS!! I purchased the high slit skirt for my wedding... it came looking NOTHING like the pictures on her site. The shirts material was cheap, it didn't have the high split, color was off. It was horrible! I did some digging and found the $180 skirt on Amazon for $40. It came in and looks EXACTLY like the skirt they sent! Same tag and everything. I took pictures and made a PayPal dispute. This seller is so dishonest. She LIED and said the skirt was custom made so PayPal denied my claim. I will be pushing this to the furthest extent. BEWARE! DO NOT ORDER!!!

Please stay away from this shop
Please stay away from this shop! I should’ve known she was sketchy from the beginning when I scheduled and paid for a custom consultation and had to repeatedly reach out to her to get more information. Her communication is terrible. She draws you in with her sweet personality, but she really does not know what she’s doing. The pictures posted on her social media pages and website are very deceiving! I purchased a custom top for my anniversary event and it looks horrible and very cheap. If I could give 0 stars, I would. The quality of the fabric and stitching of garment was AWFUL! I reached out to her to let her know I was very unhappy with it and she basically said “Sorry”. No offer to fix it. No offer to send at least a partial refund. She ruined my outfit for my event. Basically, over $200 down the drain and now I have to spend more money to find something else. I ended up throwing the garment in the trash because it was complete and utter garbage. Spend your money elsewhere or you will be disappointed!

Must have 10k+ followers to receive your order
This lady only cares about catering to influencers/celebrities. If you aren’t one, you aren’t getting your order. I started to suspect that was the case after months of waiting for my dress and them promising it was going to be shipped “next week”. The only reason i was able to receive my dress in time for my maternity photos was because i told her I’d already spoken to an influencer who had ordered a dress from them about the situation. And she proved my theory correct.

Magnificent
I don't understand all the bad reviews here. I received my item sooner than expected and exactly what I ordered. It was magnificent and beautifully packaged. I have no social media accounts, so that had no effect on my service. Very very pleased with my purchase.

When I first saw the “birthday” dress I…
When I first saw the “birthday” dress I was so in love. The dress popped up on Instagram and I went on the hunt to find the original designer. I didn’t care what it cost as long as it fit and looked like the picture. I finally found Oyemwen and placed an order right away. I sent in my measurements that she asked for and even extra measurements that she didn’t ask for just to make sure it would fit properly because I am kind of on the short side. She assured me that I would have my dress in time for my event and so I trusted her. The custom “birthday” dress finally arrived and it was sparkling!! When I took it out of the packaging it looked quite big and extremely long. I know sometimes clothing can look that way until you try it on so I proceeded to do that. Once I got the dress on, it DID NOT FIT anywhere. The length was off as well as the dress was too big. I am 99.9 percent sure she didn’t custom make the dress but she purchased it off Loragal for about $44. If I wanted something from China I wouldn’t ordered from them myself but that isn’t what I wanted which is why I paid over $400 for the dress. She is a FRAUD! A SCAMMER!! A CHEAT!!! I will NEVER do business with her again. You certainly can’t fool me twice and I hope your lies catch up to you because karma is not to be played with. I will not stop until she is STOPPED and held accountable for her fraudulent actions!

A complete scam of a company Save your money
I have been fighting with this company over a year to get my money back they sent me garbage representing beautiful outfits online. Instead of the beautiful outfits they represented online I receive scraps of material lint loose threads and trash in a bag this is no exaggeration. Literally scraps of fabric. Now they're trying to send me to collections for a remaining balance when I never receive what I ordered. At this point it seems my only recourse is to try and take the company to small claims court.

Disappointed and disgusted
Disappointed and disgusted they take your money saying that their stuff is custom made but it’s not my dress came and it was falling apart when I reached out they took forever to reply then she ask me to send it back with no shipping label when I finally pointed out the fact that this is their fault so they should be the one to send a shipping label they receive the dress almost 3 weeks now and I haven’t received my money back.

Absolutely Horrible - SCAMMER
Where do I even begin, I ordered a dress in January for my birthday in February...the dress didn't arrive until almost the end of march because they claim it takes 6-8 weeks to "construct" I didn't open it when it came because I wanted to take it to the cleaners on the weekend. The dress fit but as I took it to the cleaners we discovered a big hole in the back of the dress. Looks like whatever cutting machine they used because it went several layers in. I called and sent pics of the dress and they said they would repair it...this is the trap!! I returned it with my own money and waited several months till end of July to get my dress back. They sent another dress, this time it was a totally different size, I asked for my money back and they claimed it was custom but asked me in the same breath for my measurements. I sent the dress back and told them I just wanted my money back. when I tried to get my money back, the bank said that too much time had gone by. I totally believe that they take a long time to get the items made then send you crap knowing that by then the 90 days will have gone by so you can't get your money back. over $900 down the drain. NEVER AGAIN!!! But we are living in the last days and judgement will fall on them hard. That I know for sure. God don't sleep. I do work with a legal firm though!! :)

I wish I could give zero stars
I wish I could give zero stars. I explained to her in detail about what I wanted, and what she sent was completely different from what we discussed. I was supposed to change into the outfit after my wedding, so I was left with nothing to change into. I said I wanted 1/2 sleeves only to my elbow, I was sent a top with full length huge baggy sleeves. I also asked for a white or ivory skirt as this was supposed to be bridal, but I was sent a tan colored skirt. She was dense when I brought all this to her attention and refused to refund me. I went through my bank for a refund. Do not order anything from her, she is a scammer and I think she orders clothes from other sites and jacks the price up and resells the items because I have seen the clothing for much cheaper on another website.

I have no words to express how…
I have no words to express how profoundly unsightly the dress appeared when the package arrive at the bride. The dress had perceptible errors from the moment it was taken out of the package. There were inelegant gaps in between the layering, a horrendous and inconsistent patchwork that caused the material to bunch together, improperly installed pearl embellishments found nowhere on the exterior, and a revealing underskirt that did not conceal any intimate areas. Overall, the dress was conflicting with what the seller advertised. Furthermore, I find this site and the seller to be extremely suspicious. There are no chances of a refund if the consumer is unhappy with their purchase and the buyer is left with the option of a tedious exchange. There are no negative reviews on the official site, however, poor feedback can be found all over Trustpilot some of which cited what I have stated above. This seller only seems to honor those who are deemed as significant individuals in her eyes and disregards other customers and their values. How utterly selfish and belittling of her.

Horrible!!
Horrible!!! Don't do it! The material is cheap. It's poorly constructed. They refuse to accept responsibility for their craftsmanship. Only willing to give $495 of store credit. I want my cash refund !! Unfair practices!

This shop lacks integrity and should be out of business!
I really wish I would have read through Trustpilot, BBB, and other sites concerning this business. To make a long story short, I ordered a custom jumpsuit in July 2023. The website indicated that all orders are started soon after ordering and could take 14-28 days for processing. I was fine with that and was even willing to wait 60 days. At the end of September 2023, I emailed the business and the response was short and made me feel as if my order had been forgotten. Needless to say, at the beginning of November, I contacted the shop again via email to cancel the order since it had obviously not been made yet. The shop refused, so I contacted the Better Business Bureau (BBB). At that time, I noticed the shop was rated an "F" and there were numerous complaints against the shop. UGH!! After telling so many untruths in their responses to the BBB and 6 additional weeks, I received one part of my outfit in December and main part arrived January 10, 2024 (won't get into condition of package because perhaps the carrier damaged the package, but I have my doubts). The main part was the wrong color. I don't know if I am more upset about the lengthy wait and wrong jumpsuit or the fact that the shop actually started off unresponsive and then turned to lying in the responses to the BBB. Anyhow, I do plan to take them to small claims court on principle alone.
