task achievement
The letter covers all required points but could benefit from a clearer and more detailed explanation of the problem, such as how the discrepancy affects the use of the clothing.
coherence cohesion
Ensure all sentences are complete to improve coherence. For example, combine 'the items I got was made of nylon. Which totally disappoint me.' into one complete sentence.
coherence cohesion
Proofread for minor grammatical errors and inconsistencies, such as 'kids suits' should be 'kids' suits' and 'was totally disappoint me' should be 'were totally disappointing.'
coherence cohesion
The letter is well-organized with a clear structure, including opening, body, and closing.
task achievement
The letter maintains a polite and respectful tone, appropriate for formal communication.

Word Count

IELTS says that you should write a minimum of 150 words in writing task 1. If you go under word count you will lose marks in task response.

A very long letter will not give you a higher band score.

Aim for between 160 to 190 words in writing task 1. This will ensure a concise letter and will be realistic in terms of time management. You have only 20 minutes to write the letter and you need around 5 minutes of planning time, so you will not be able to write a long letter in 15 minutes.
