Laura Canada Reviews 

I need to buy a petite dress and now they don't sell them anymore. Absolutely ridiculous. i wont be back

Very disappointing to know that Laura ended the Petite collection.

I depended on Laura for petite dresses and pants without the added cost of alterations. Now they have discontinued all petite sizing. Goodbye Laura. No reason for me to shop there anymore.

Absolute Bullshit! No separate petite section. Can’t even find an email on mobile website to complain. Won’t be shopping there every again!

I recently found out I am not able to get petite sizing at Laura anymore. First it was the petite section was no longer. They mixed it in with regular so if you go to a store you have to search everywhere. This didn’t happen to the plus size. The excuse was that petite women would often go to the regular section so why not mix it in. Yikes. So then I started shopping Laura online which was ok but there was a separate designation for petites. A sales woman at one of the stores I would frequent told me that if people like me don’t attend in person then the stores will no longer exist. Well in a way I do see the logic in that. However, after 40 odd years of shopping at Laura for petite clothing, it’s not working for me as now they don’t even show petites online. I’ve sent two emails and no answer. I phoned and waited for at least 20 minutes to speak to someone about the changes. She said all you have to do online is key in the search bar petite dresses, tops etc. I have done that and when I click on an item it shows regular sizing so how am I to know if it is petite or not? It’s a big waste of my time and super disappointing for me a very loyal customer over the years with lots of my money spent at Laura. It’s a sad day in Canada for petite women. But fortunately there are other petite stores for women with whom I will spend my money!

The Laura Petite line was my go to given I am short-waisted. Regular fit does not sit well on my waist/hips. Beyond disappointed....

I would have given Laura a better rating if they haven't decided to discontinue their Petites line. For years, I have been able to shop online at Laura. ca, knowing the Petites line clothing would fit me well. Now, all of a sudden, they decided to drop the petites line but keep the regular and Plus size?? They are basically telling me to shop elsewhere!

VERY disappointed with Laura's decision to drop their petite clothing. Their rationale doesn't hold water because they are still carrying their "plus" line. Regular clothes do NOT fit short women.

Not happy about eliminating petit section. This is the only reason I shop there

Whoever decided to eliminate the petite section has no idea what fitting issues petite women have. We cannot buy a regular sized dress, but in a smaller size. We, petite women, have a smaller frame. Our back length is less than the average woman. Thus, any regular sized dress will be too long from the waste to the shoulders. This would neccessitate taking that dress to a seamstress, to shorten the back to waste length, if possible. Also, most tops will be too long in the sleeves, and too wide in the shoulders, and too broad in the hips.

Extremely disappointed that Laura Canada ended their online petite section.
I was told that it has merged with regular size and I just have to measure myself?
Nonsensical!
I always was able to buy a perfect petite fit in clothing especially coats.
My hope is that Laura Canada will do better.
Thank you

Why is it you can't get on an English version of Laura Canada?
Makes it hard to shop your store....

Cheap quality with no customer service 😕.

First time to have been disappointed with LAURA. I bought a dress online, and although I know my size, it turned out that the dress did not fit me well, and they are saying it is a final sale; they would not exchange it for another item or give a gift card. Absolutely ridiculous when selling online. You do not get to try it until you receive it, and this treatment, and you cannot exchange it for another item!!!! Beware!!!

NEXT TIME YOU WILL HEAR THAT ALL OF THE STORES ARE CLOSING!!! THIS IS GOING TO HAPPEN WITH WHAT I AM SEEING ALL THE NEGATIVE REVIEWS ONLINE!!!

On April 30, 2025 I shopped at a Laura's store in London, ON. for a dress to wear to a wedding. The sales associate who assisted me was polite, very helpful and I narrowed my choices down to one. I asked the salesperson if there were any upcoming sales since Mother's Day was just around the corner. Twice she said, "let me talk to my manager" since I was hesitating to make the purchase in the event there would be an upcoming sale. After the second conversation she had with her manager, she returned saying there was a sale beginning May 8th. and if I returned that day with my sales receipt (no need to bring the dress) they would adjust the price. So on May 8th. I made the 30 minute drive back to the store in order to obtain the price adjustment. To my surprise (and I must admit irritation) the only option was to give me the refund on a gift card....store policy. This was never mentioned at the time I was making the purchase and I believe I would have postponed buying until the following week. I have spoken to Laura's head office but to no avail. The only repeated response was "I'm very sorry". Unfortunately my experience does not foster good customer care in my opinion and as I said to the person at head office....."in the future, Laura's will be at the bottom of my list when I am shopping for women's clothing. The majority of retail places in my experience adjust the price and the difference is repaid in the same form in which it was initially paid for. There are times when a sale item is permitted to be returned but the refund will be in the form of a gift card. Always, this is clearly stated before the purchase is made. In this case I was not returning the dress and I had purchased it at full price.

See my Google review. It’s all good if you buy. They will lie to customers just to get them to buy. Then won’t accept returns. They lie so they won’t accept returns. Don’t just happen to mum, but countless other women. And that’s just the ones who wrote a review.

Laura Canada as a company has the most miserably rude clownish cashiers to ever be seen at any store. At my most recent visit at Laura Canada at Vaughan Mills, I requested one cashier to help me find another size in a top. She said they didn't have it in store and she can 'order it for me', so I explained I live far from that location and will order it myself online. I also politely thanked her. When she saw she wasn't gonna make any sales and commission of two cents off me that she was desperate for, she made the most disgustingly nasty expression OVERTLY right in my face. A sound employee would have responded something like, "sure, that works!" but the old caucasian female worker who looked like her face was going to explode from botox just made a moronic expression in response. They somehow feel they are entitled to get their menial commission because of you, sorry, I am no longer supporting Laura and Melanie Lyne store cashiers and will not be the reason they have a job at all or make any sales in store. I will only shop for the merchandise itself online, get what I want, and let these disgusting cashiers with inappropriate behaviours lose their jobs. I won't be surprised if the stores shut down at most locations, they're always bare and empty of any customers and so when a single person walks in, the cashiers will stalk them and stare at them like hawks. Eek!

It's disappointing when items don't meet expectations, especially at higher price points. It’s not understandable to feel upset about defects like burlap texture, bubbling from detached interfacing, and pilling on knits, which can certainly affect the overall value of the purchase when the clothes are new and priced from 300 $ and up .
It’s concerning that the store doesn’t accept returns and issues final sale stamps, which can make it even more challenging for customers who trust the sales staff. This can greatly diminish customer confidence and loyalty, especially when compared to the positive experiences from the past when stores offered better quality and customer service, including gift cards.
If you're looking to share your feedback, consider reaching out to the store or writing a review. Your insights could encourage them to improve their quality control and customer service practices. In the meantime, exploring other retailers that focus on quality might be a good idea for your future shopping.

I never imagined i would have this type of experience at Laura. For over 10 years i have shopped in Laura. I do a lot of shopping online. They would usually give me a gift card for final sales items. Today i returned some items worth over 200 dollars to Laura Londonderry mall in Edmonton. I was told i couldnt get even a gift card that i would only use in Laura as usual. I pleaded with them that i didnt know the rules had changed as i had done some returns even last month- February. The more i pleaded, the worse the answers. I pleaded that i couldnt use the clothes and to allow me this once as i was not aware of the new rules but to no avail. I felt so helpless and was only able to take photos of what i returned and left the store without the clothes. I won't have the confidence to buy anything from Laura online shop again and i wonder if ill have the heart to go back to Laura shop again

I bought a pair of black stretch jeans and to my shock……they fell apart…first just below the waist band and then the back of the leg. I’ve only worn them twice. I repaired the first rip but the leg split and just shred. It’s too bad they fit perfectly.So disappointed. Maybe you would like them back to verify.
