Impressions
I
recently bought two gorgeous dresses at E.K. Clothing.com.
This salsa based
clothing website offers all types of different Latin dresses as well as cute
tops and skirts at very affordable prices.
For those salsa dancing ladies that
are always on the look out for cute outfits to wear on your nights of pure Latin
dancing,
I recommend you check out E.K Clothing. (Sorry gentleman, this website
is solely for ladies).
The website was very easy to navigate thru. Once I arrived at the home page
there were 5 different tabs, each with a selection of a type of clothing wear
(dresses, top, skirts, pants and now there newly added edition, SHOES!).

Dress
Their
selection of dresses varied from cute, short, flirty outfits to long length
elegant but yet sexy fashions. Though I have to say I was rather disappointed in
the lack of different colors that were available in some of the dresses, their
variety and affordable prices of the outfits that were offered compensated for
it.
The variety of tops, skirts and pants that E.K. Clothing offered at their website
was not as diverse as those of the dresses, but nonetheless very appropriate if
you are looking for something to wear for a night of fun with your girlfriends
at your local salsa club, or, to share a night of fun salsa dancing with your
date.
Purchasing made easy
The purchasing process was simple and easy and it does not take much of your
time. It took me no more than 5 minutes to register and fill out my information.
I was given a confirmation number once I made my purchase which comes in handy
in case there is something wrong with the order. E.K. Clothing sent me e-mails to
let me know when the items were packaged and shipped out to my house.
This was
very useful to me since I was planning to wear one of the outfits in the next
few days and I could keep track of how long it would take for them to arrive at
my house.
Speedy Delivery !
I was very pleased with the speedy delivery. It only took 3 days from
the day I ordered it to get to my house, and the outfits were neither wrinkled
nor damaged during the shipping process.

Cross Tie Wrap Dress
I ordered two dresses. One of them fit beautifully. It is long but yet sexy with
a touch of elegance in its style. Unfortunately, I cannot say the same thing
about the other one. All I can say is that it did not fit as expected.
Return/Exchange Process
For this
reason, I sent back the dress and exchanged it for another different style of
dress. I expected the returning/exchanging process to be just as fast as the
shipping process but it took longer than I anticipated, to be exact, two weeks
from the day I sent back the original dress by priority mail, but, I was very
satisfied with the dress I exchanged it for. It fit great! The material was of
good quality, and the color was beautiful.
Recommended for Performances
I recommend the ladies to
check out E.K. Clothing especially if you are involved
in group performances. I have participated in group performances in the past and
I know how challenging it can be to find that perfect dress that would suit all
the girls in the group as well as the song or theme that you are dancing to.
It
is my opinion that this website has an outfit that can satisfy the different
types of styles that salsa dancing ladies might be looking for.
Their variety of
outfits is not only suited for salsa performances, but also for any other type
of Latin dances such as; Tango, Cha Cha or Flamenco. There is a type of outfit
for every dance.
I would visit E.K. Clothing again if I am ever in the need of a cute salsa dress,
and for me there is always a need for one. Being a “salsera” it is important to
me to not only look nice but to also feel comfortable in what I am wearing while
dancing. I am happy with the outfits I chose and I would shop there again if the
need arose.

Selection Of Clothing - I gave this category 4 stars because I think they
have a good selection of dresses. I would have given it 5 stars had the
selection of pants and skirts been broader.
Price – Definitely 5 stars! Their clothes are very affordable, and even
cheaper than going to an actual store at the mall.
Ease of Ordering – I gave it 5 Stars for the simplicity of the process.
Shipping – Their delivery was very fast. Ordered the clothes on Tuesday,
received it on Friday. Very happy with this service!
Fulfillment – I gave it 4 Stars. The dresses were made of really good
quality material, and the fit is awesome!
Returns – Disappointed with the length of time it took to receive the new
exchanged dress. *
* Editors Note
I spoke with e.K Clothing and here was their response:
"2 weeks for an exchange is about average (for us and for many other online
shopping sites) and is reasonable when it's considered that those 2 weeks
include the mail transit time from the customer to us and then from us back to
the customer. Also, we process our returns/exchanges 1-2 times a week in
batches. It would be very time consuming to process returns one by one as they
came back to the store. As far as time in transit - it takes packages a couple
of days to reach their destination which is part of the return process. We do
offer expedited exchanges for customers who call us in advance and make that
request."
As of April 2, they have updated their FAQ section with this information.
