I should have looked at reviews
I should have looked at reviews. Cheap polyester material, shipped from China, red and blue dresses stitched with white thread. Two identical overalls came with different fasteners, one buttons, the other metal hooks. Doesn’t look like the online photos. I so wanted to think there was actually a Carol and a Margaret in the Carolinas. They got me!

Extremely Disappointing Experience …
The website gives the impression of being a U.S boutique, but the dress was shipped from China, and returns had to be sent back to China at my expense. The dress looked nothing like the photos and was of extremely poor quality, with poor sewing and no tags. Customer service delayed my refund for weeks after agreeing to a 50% refund, and I ultimately had to file a dispute with my credit card company. I wish I had read the Trustpilot reviews before ordering.

I too have been scammed by them
I too have been scammed by them. The dress I ordered was said to be cotton and when it arrived it was sleazy polyester. It took weeks to arrive from China and when I requested a return, I would have had to ship it back to China at my expense. I had seen it advertised in NYTimes, and did notify them of my dissatisfaction. They should be shut down.

0 stars
0 stars! Ordered 2 dresses, then read reviews within the hour and attempted to cancel order immediately. They refused to cancel and Capital One would not revoke the pending charge they placed on my card. Dresses were inferior quality material and workmanship. Asked for refund. They would not refund and kept offering alternatives like discounts. Finally, gave me authorization to return MINUS shipping charges from and to China ($70), I paid $120 for the dresses. Since they already took too long to provide return form, I could not return as they had to receive it within 30 days from purchase and would take too long to get to China by priority mail.DO NOT BUY ANYTHING FROM THEM. They are not in North Carolina. They go by other names on the internet selling clothing.

Hello,
Here is why it is absolutely not the dress that is advertised.
It is not chiffon. It does not have a zipper in the bodice. The bodice is not structured. This is a cheap polyester blend with a shirred bodice.
For some reason I was limited to 5 pictures. See attached.
Please review and let me know how to ship this back and when I can expect my full refund.

Dear __,
Thank you for sending us the pictures and sharing your concerns. After carefully reviewing your case, our fulfillment team has confirmed that the item was delivered in good condition, with no defects or damages, and matches the description on our website. However, we understand that the quality or fit may not have met your personal expectations, and we truly regret any disappointment this has caused.
To clarify, according to our store policy, the following situations are considered change-of-mind returns:
The product does not fit
The wrong product was purchased
The customer no longer wishes to keep the item
In these cases, customers are responsible for return shipping costs, and shipping fees are non-refundable.
That said, we’d like to make this process as smooth as possible for you. You can choose one of the following options:
Return for Refund – We’ll provide you with full return instructions. Once the item is received at our warehouse, we’ll issue a refund for the purchase price (excluding shipping). The return postage will be your responsibility.
Store Credit (No Return Needed) – As an alternative, we can issue you 50% store credit for the amount you paid. You’ll be able to use this credit toward any future purchase, and you can keep the item you already received—perhaps to gift to a friend or family member.
We’ll gladly support you with whichever option you prefer. Please let us know how you’d like to proceed, and we’ll take care of the rest.

Dear ___,
Thank you for getting back to us. We completely understand that our initial proposal may not have met your expectations, and we truly value your patience and feedback as we work toward a fair solution.
As a gesture of goodwill and to acknowledge the inconvenience you’ve experienced, we’d like to extend an improved offer: 10% refund of your original purchase amount + 50% Store credits, with no need to return the item. You can simply keep the item you received.
We hope this option provides you with a practical and convenient resolution without the hassle of arranging a return.
Of course, if you would still prefer to return the item for a full refund, you are welcome to do so. Please note that, to ensure high-quality products at the best prices, we operate internationally and ship directly from our global warehouses. This means the return process may take longer and require some extra effort on your part, which we would like to help you avoid if possible.
Our aim is to resolve this matter in the way that feels best for you. Please let us know which option you’d like to proceed with, and we’ll be happy to assist right away.
Thank you again for your understanding—we truly appreciate having you as our customer.

DO NOT ORDER FROM THIS COMPANY!!
DO NOT ORDER FROM THIS COMPANY!!! It's a scam. Their address on the site is North Carolina. Don't believe it. I ordered a simple summer dress. It took over 3 weeks to arrive. Tracking showed it was bouncing around China most of that time. When it arrived, it was poorly sized and the fabric was of a terribly poor quality. It felt like some kind of acetate. Awful. I requested a prepaid return label and was told to send pictures and they would evaluate and decide!! I would have to pay to ship to them for the evaluation! I know this whole unfortunate ordeal would wind up costing me more than the item. Of course, that's what they count on! Goodwill will be getting the donation.

Regrettable, poor purchasing experience
Purchasing from Carol&Margaret was very regrettable. Contrary to their posted shipping policies, several weeks have past and my order still has not even shipped out yet. Requesting a cancellation or refund seems impossible. While their customer service does respond (to emails, not calls), they give a polite 'sorry, still processing' and that is it. This was my first purchase from them, and definitely my last!

This is a scam business
This is a scam business. The clothes are polyester and returns are impossible. It says it is US-based but the Instagram account is from the Philippines and shipping is from China.

Anyone reading this....STAY AWAY from this company.
I ordered 2 dresses, it took weeks for the order to arrive, as apparently they are shipped from China, whereas they "appear" to be a small business in NC ....this is not true.
I think it is a sham because i contacted them several times to do a return, and they would not respond. Then they said they would give me "credit" but i wanted a REFUND so be warned....you WILL NOT GET YOUR MOney REFUNDED. I returned the merchandise to address in NC. at a cost to me. They wrote me that they would "refund" 80% Well This has not happened....i was taken for $78, plus the $13. to return ship. I will never again trust anything on Instagram. It is a FRAUD business, with fake reviews.

This company is a chinese scam
This company is a chinese scam. The clothing is crap and fabric is not what it says it is. If you return, you have to pay to ship it China. I can't believe I fell for this. The clothes look so nice on the site, but they are crap!

This is a scam company - received very cheap and poor quality clothing from China and NOT from 2 ladies in North Carolina

This is a scam company
This is a scam company. The products are not as described on their website (fabrics are NOT linen but some polyester or synthetic) and the returns are required to be sent to China which is not disclosed on their website. They say they are a company based in North Carolina but they are not. DO NOT ORDER ANYTHING FROM THIS SCAM COMPANY.

Beautiful Comfy Dress
It was easy to order, and it came in a reasonable period of time. The dress is just my style and so comfortable, plus i love the fabric and the colors.

Risposta di Carolmargaret Wilmington
Despite kind
Despite kind, rational sounding email replies from customer service, this entire set up is a scam. They advertise linen but send you polyester, and claim your request for a refund is all about you "changing your mind," which means you must pay shipping costs of the return to China--which costs more than the item. I thought I had learned my lesson with these clothing retailers that sound American but are fronts for cheap Chinese products. It is getting to the point that i will only order clothing from known, trusted retailers like the Gap, Old Navy, Talbots, Ann Taylor, etc. I wish to could spread the word more widely about the proliferation of retailers like this one.

This is a fraudulent and dishonest…
This is a fraudulent and dishonest Chinese company posing as an American brand. In my experience, their clothes are cheap, not as pictured, ill fitting and they refuse to provide the legitimate full refunds they offer. Though they offer "free shipping," I was instead charged for "shipping insurance." I have spent nearly two months trying to schedule a return with full refund and it has been impossible. When I took the package to the post office with the address in Guangdong Province they provided, I was told the postal code they gave me was not a legitimate one for China. Out of exasperation, I finally agreed to accept a 50% refund with no return, but even that has never been credited to my account. Let the buyer beware!

Deceptive advertising
Deceptive advertising. They lead you to believe that they are located in North Carolina, when actually they are in China. The ad clearly stated that dress was embroidered, it was not, it was a photo print on cheap fabric. They were quick to respond to my query to return the items, but said I would incur cost of mailing back to China! Don't buy anything from this company! I should have known better.

I’d pick negative 10 stars if it was an option. Scam company—unhelpful customer support with canned answers to everything! I ordered two LINEN shirts. When I finally received them, they were 100% polyester and very poorly made. They look nothing like the pictures on the website. Dealing with customer service is a nightmare trying to return something that was THEIR fault. DO NOT ORDER anything from this company. I have to return at MY cost to China! I’m reporting them to the Attorney General’s office for Consumer Protection.

I ordered a linen tunic but realized I selected the wrong color right after checking out. I emailed their customer support line immediately. A real person replied within a few hours and corrected my mistake before the warehouse shipped the package. I rarely find that level of quick, personalized attention with larger online retailers.

Do Not Buy from this company
Like many other reviewers, I am only disappointed I cannot rate them a zero. Took forever - several weeks - for package to arrive despite my several inquiries. Products that did arrive were poorly made, terrible fabric quality, and then took forever for me to return. Finally instructed to return at my expense to China ! Even though package came from California ! Do not buy from this company and avoid being scammed like me and so many others.

Risposta di Carolmargaret Wilmington
Bad experience
Returns (that did not fit or were wrong) needed to be sent (at my cost) to CHINA even though this company's name suggests it does business in North Carolina. When I expressed dismay, they offered to return 20% of original cost to my credit card and allow me to keep the items *I do not want*. I am still waiting for a meager refund. Rather than ignore that they owe me money, I have waited 3+ weeks for a refund to my credit card and still, no refund or explanation. What a waste of time and money. Never again!
