I used to get pop ups from a company selling very pretty floaty tops from China. I was very tempted but resisted as I would hardly wear them with my sad social life.
They also seemed very cheap but the reviews were good apart from sizing as others have said. Go at least one size up and possibly two.

Not this company, but I bought a pleather travel journal from a Chinese supplier via Amazon for DD.. It was cheap as chips (less than £3, including postage!) and I was in two minds whether to order at the time. It took about ten days to arrive and is really nice.

After reading that, Willsmadnan, I might just take the plunge and place an order. It does say to order the next size up from your usual, and those bras do look nice, even though I`ll be the only one who sees them! Thank you for all the replies.

I bought a pair of summer shoes from them last year. I have huge probs with shoes (awful feet!) and was so fed-up I thought..'Oh what the hell... they're cheap, leather and they look nice.' I'd read all the dire warnings about Chinese companies so expected the worst. They took an age to come, so was beginning to fear the warnings were true, but when they eventually arrived they were lovely..... and very comfortable. However, I'd read some of the comments prior to ordering which said sizes were SMALL, so upped my size. Probably the same with bras. I guess being made for the Far East market, the ladies there are a lot smaller than us Western types

Hi callgirl
I have never come across this company before.
So out of nosiness interest I a had look on Google.
The reviews say that the sizing comes up very small.
This makes me think that it is Chinese site as their sizing is extremely small.

I ordered a top from Amazon via China.
The reviews said that the sizes were way off and to order at least 2 sizes bigger.
How right they were!

I was however very pleased with my purchase.
Even though it took weeks to arrive.

Just had a look. It seems a bit odd to me in that the spellings are American... center and jewelry for example.

The prices seem at odds with the products too. I wouldn't order from them myself.

Has anyone ever bought from an online company called Newchic? I accidentally came across a page of their bras yesterday, and they`re gorgeous, but they seem awfully low in price, so I`m worried that they won`t be as good as they look.
