The actuality falls short of Wishcotton's promise of a large selection of fashionable clothing and accessories, but the promise remains. The quality of the clothing is poor, and the same can be said for the shoes and other accoutrements. The slippers are advertised as being "ideal for relaxing around the house," but they are very prone to falling apart. The Wishcotton purchasing experience, when taken as a whole, is very disappointing. Don't believe everything you read or hear; instead of spending your money here, look elsewhere.
