Oh shame ! That would be good ! X Its not affiliated with the UK as none of the shops are. They are usually run by the big companies here ( Al Shaya runs all the Debenhams) Aramex shop and ship is a god send as you save a fortune buying online as the UK always has sales on. I bought a dress from Miss Selfridge. It is AED325 here. I got it for AED114 which included the delivery! Thank you for this might have to set up an account by the way I tried to like your post but pressed unlike twice instead typing error really didn't mean too haha !

Forgot to add below that I've ordered twice from Eileen Fisher (you can also go down in the sizing) but both shipments took more than 3-weeks to arrive! Will likely wait to shop in-person. If you don't mind the wait, her pieces are lovely and great quality. I have one long jersey-silk skirt that I've been wearing non-stop for years ... eileenfisher.com I agree, excellent quality and amazing colors. My local shopping center in the States has an Eileen Fisher boutique :)

Certain items from the Simply Vera by Vera Wang label (Kohls in US, also an Australian dept store sells it); things from llbean.com; clothes from debenhams site; nursing bras from momsmilkboutique.com. I use the sizing guides and have someone else take my measurements prior to ordering. Hi Apricot - some lovely clothing by Simply Vera at Kohls but looks like you need a US billing address to order. Am not an experienced online clothes shopper but thought I might give it a try - how do you order without a UK or US billing address? You can check if Kohls accepts PayPal as payment, and create a Paypal account linked to your UAE credit card. Or, sign up for Aramex Shop and Ship and they have a program where you sign up for a pre-paid credit card with US billing address.

For once I got a bargain here at the weekend. Dress from Hobbs in Mercato, with my 10% discount it worked out cheaper than SnS :)

Tattie bogle don't suppose you know whether it's possible to use UK next account for shopping at next.ae ? X I don't think it is, we can only use the nextdirect.ae

I had a very bad experience with dressvenus. Very cheap quality from China and it's not worth to send it back.

These are all great suggestions! I love nextdirect.ae -- so much cheaper than Next here, it arrives in 4 days and free shipping. :)

I'm in love with Gudrun Sjödén, a Swedish store with fab on-line service. The designs may not be to everyone's taste - ethnic prints, bold colours, lots of layers - but they're perfect for my work where I have to cover myself in long and loose clothing, and for my large amount of travel ... functional and versatile whilst being stylish! Well, as stylish as possible in full-body cover :) My orders are shipped to Dubai (by UPS) and all have arrived within 5-7-days max. with a full-return policy. The shipping is free but I have to pay the customs fees on delivery :( If you decide to order anything from Gudrun, enroll into the (free) club membership, as you'll receive discounts on all orders, and special discounts on other items throughout the seasons. A small caveat: everything seems to be designed for the long and lovely Scandinavian body-types so tunics, dresses and trousers are looong (check lengths on the descriptions), and you can easily go down one-size, e.g. from L to M. I'm 5'6" and have to shorten most things. They provide very reliable sizing guides on each piece, as well as care instructions. gudrunsjoden.com

I got some dresses & a jacket from martarabia.com - I was really pleased with it all. I also once bought a pair of Aldo shoes online which I'd tried in-store but needed a smaller size - also a great result.
