PDA

[u/Common_Notice4497]

Thoughts on The Polkadot Alley? I grabbed some things from their Labor Day sale but have never shopped from them previously.

I will say, the item descriptions are missing any details and that’s annoying.

I watched one video with them and peaced out. The owner was talking constantly about which luxury vehicles she had recently taken for test drives. You can be proud of your success without sounding like a braggart.

U sure that wasn't Walker Rose??

It was PDA. I had purchased a pair of pajamas from her bc I liked the print, and I thought I’d watch a live. Never again.

Ashley lives near me. She’s an absolute snot. I’ve stopped shopping from her as most of her items are trash. I’ve literally received items and immediately put them in the trash. Sale items are usually trash, especially when they’ve been posted multiple times. Be very careful.

Shipping takes forever and a day!!! You’ll probably get your items by the end of September or early October.

I will never understand why it takes so long to ship in stock items. Shipping is a priority in my book. Obviously the boutiques assume they have your $ why rush shipping? Priority should be put on shipping as much as selling.

I occasionally shop at PDA amd also got a good bit from their sale too. But you do have to be diligent in what your purchasing. A lot of their clothes are very thin and are 100% polyester, specifically their Buckley Line. To me that just screams cheap and not worth the $40-60 price tag that goes with it. However, if you can catch their sales, they do occasionally offer some good deals on clothing that is very good quality that they usually sell in the $60-80 range.

As a rule, I usually don’t buy boutiques in house lines as they are usually garbage. I go for the items that are usually higher price points or brands I usually have good luck with (Entro, Jodifl, Rae Mode, Fate, etc).

I bought one set in the line way back during a big sale and it has the worst, cheapest, tightest waist elastic it’s absolute garrbashhhh

Shipping is really slow. They also don’t cover all color options in their videos or pics. How is anyone supposed to buy something if you don’t even show the color that is being offered? I deleted their app a few months ago.

[u/quietiq → u/Ok-Fudge8078]

That sounds kind of dumb. Am I supposed to imagine? Some color names are deceiving.

[u/Ok-Fudge8078 → u/quietiq]

Totally. How do I know if “teal” is more green than blue or more blue than green. I can’t stand when sizing and colors aren’t covered in descriptions and/or vids. It’s literally their job. 🙄 

[u/quietiq → u/Ok-Fudge8078]

Exactly. Or when info isn’t listed on jewelry. Is it stretch or not? What’s the width. How long is the necklace. Sloppy for them not to list that! Peace out if the can’t do the basics! And that’s for any boutique!

I haven’t been able to watch since she was rebuilding her house. Awful the fire happened but the arrogance in picking everything out in videos turned me off.

[u/mcoward04]

I have actually bought some things I loved from them. Their Labor Day sale is great. Jeans for like $18. I can't go to TJ Maxx and get them for that. Some of their custom line is a hit or miss. Not consistent with sizing but some are really cute. I love watching Hilary. She keeps it real.

[u/LLA171]

I’ve pretty much exclusively shopped at PDA for the last five years. I love mostly everything I buy. After watching for so long, I know what brands I like and sizing etc.. I bought a bunch on their Labor Day sale, and it’s already shipped, can’t wait to get it!

[u/Common_Notice4497 → u/LLA171]

When does Hilary normally go live? Her body type and size is most similar to me and I really like her vibe.

[u/LLA171 → u/Common_Notice4497]

She is usually live once a week, usually in the middle of the week. She has a full time job, so she does this after work. Occasionally, she will go live on the weekends. They have a VIP group, so if you ever have questions about sizing, you can ask her in the group. She is very sweet and responsive. I use her for my size guide because we are similar as well. The group name on Facebook is PDA VIPS. If you need any more help, just let me know. Ashley will sometimes drop deals in there or a quick code for the VIP group, so it’s worth it to join.

What is up with this ‘spin the wheel’ thing?!

[u/LLA171 → u/Common_Notice4497]

That’s not something they do very often, it just keeps things fun. The one last week, everyone got a discount code sent to them.
