Shopping for clothes online can be a scary experience. There’s the stress of picking the right size, as well as asking yourself questions like will the style suit me and do I trust them enough to hand over my credit card details?

All this worry was blasted away upon receiving my first purchase from Style Palace.

Web Design and Layout
Style Palace’s website is chic, modern and glamorous. Photos of each outfit upload quickly and everything is easy to find.

I wouldn’t have minded the dress section being be divided into ‘day’ and ‘evening’ wear, but who’s to say that a day dress can’t be an evening dress and vice versa.

Product Range
There is something for women of all shapes, sizes and tastes. The range covers everything from great bargains to high end fashion. Style Palace shows great support for Australian designers too.

Owner, Darlene Gianoli, has hand-picked clothes that suit her current clients and excite new buyers. This is quite a feat knowing that she styles teens to mid 60s.

Tips from the changeroom
Darlene recommends staying open minded and giving new things a go. One of Darlene’s favourite quotes by designer Florence Eiseman sums it up, “Please do not have a fit in the fitting room – your fashion life begins there.”

Customer Service
I chose the dress I wanted to purchase with a little apprehension. I had never purchased clothing online before, so it was my first time. A virgin if you will.

The one thing that did put my mind at ease was that I was purchasing from a business that was local. When the transaction was completed, an email was sent to me, advising that a Style Palace representative would be contacting me in regards to my delivery. Brilliant!

Delivery of goods
First thing Monday my mobile rang. A lovely lady thanked me for purchasing and said she could courier my dress out that day. Once the destination was locked in, it was on it’s way.

One hour after that phone call, my receptionist brought me this beautiful package. A Style Palace bag with pink ribbon drawstring. Inside was a gift wrapped parcel in pink tissue and ribbon, lots of ribbon. The other girls in the office came running over to see what I had received. It’s all about the presentation.

Just ask anyone who’s received something from Tiffany’s.

Verdict
The dress was exactly what was displayed on the webpage and I couldn’t be happier with the all the fuss and fun of having it delivered. If you are unsure about buying online, the Style Palace showroom is open to the public on certain days and times.

Darlene also recommends emailing her your measurements, which she can use to advise on the best size.

With outstanding customer service like this I would recommend Style Palace to anyone.
