Sparsheen, the retailer known for selling knockoff dresses, is not only unaccredited by the Better Business Bureau (BBB), but it has also gone out of business. A quick search on the BBB website reveals this unfortunate truth, highlighting the importance of checking a company's accreditation before making a purchase. Furthermore, when the BBB attempted to send correspondence to Sparsheen, the mail was returned to sender, further confirming the company's closure.

 

Yellow Chiffon Dress with Crepe

The yellow chiffon dress that was advertised is notably different from the one that arrived in the mail, and perhaps that’s for the best. The cut and color of this Sparsheen imitation do not match the vibrant and playful design shown in the promotional images. Instead of appearing as a fun and stylish outfit, the delivered dress looks dowdy and uninspired, lacking the charm that was initially promised.
