Bad quality, sizing and experience

I’ve purchased from beginning boutique two times. The first time I purchased I ordered 3 dresses, I ordered 1 in my normal size and the other 2 I sized up… when I received them the 2 I sized up in fit perfectly but after going through the wash (gentle wash) they were stretched and way too big to wear, the dress I ordered in my size was so short if I took a step my whole cheek would be out! I thought it could be a one off so I decided to order again - 3 dresses, a size 12, (I normally size between a 12-14) a size 14 and a size 16 (the reviews on this dress stated to size up as it was small sizing) funny enough the size 12 dress fit me perfectly, the size 14 dress was huge and couldn’t wear it cause it was so booby that everything would fall out if I bent over… and the size 16 dress was so tight I was scared the zipper was going to break, the arms/shoulders were so tight but the sleeves were incredibly long but the length of the dress was fine? This dress is SO see through. The dress is so oddly shaped/fit and I have seen reviews that said the same after purchasing. Not to mention the quality of all the items I have brought have been very underwhelming I ended up leaving reviews on these and had a email regarding my reviews, I basically replied with the same thing as what my reviews stated (weird sizing etc) and the email response was along the lines of “don’t go by the sizing chart we have as it’s not accurate”…. So why tf would you have a sizing guide up if it’s not accurate? They instead told me that I should go by the measurements on each item because the site has different brands and they don’t all measure the same which makes no sense seeing as the sizing chart is the same chart on every item? Anyway I didn’t bother replying as they went on about reaching out to them for sizing information on items but what an inconvenience to have to email a brand for sizing information on items you want to buy? The email definitely put me off shopping from here again and I have had the same response from other friends, colleagues and family members who have had the same issue with beginning boutique sizing a quality in their items. Won’t be shopping here again, which is pretty crap as I like the look of some of the items they sell, but the quality, sizing and customer service has definitely put me off wasting my money here. I wish I left this review after I had the issue the first time.
