Has anybody tried clothing from this company. Shein.co.uk I had a look at their dresses and they look lovely for good prices. I just wondered what the quality is like and is the sizing ok too

Hey!
I buy from there!
It all depends on what it is your buying tbh.
Pants for me are true to size but tops differ.
The reviews are really good to help decide on sizing.
I've had a couple of bad things from there but on the whole liked everything else.

Dreadful, don’t bother it’s a false economy

I find them really hit and miss.

I've ordered a few things from there and the quality has been dreadful.

Then I gave them a 2nd chance and the two vest tops that arrived yesterday are really lovely (soft ribbed material with a lace trim).

I'm still waiting on a summer dress and a pair of shorts, so I'll update when they arrive but the photos from other buyers looked promising.

OP, I got some gorgeous summer dresses from there, I get lots of compliments esp on the maxi dresses which are so comfy.

Absolutely brilliant.
Clothing has all been really true to size, not had a bad thing - maybe I've been lucky.
Faster delivery than expected
Reviews are useful
You don't need to size up

Do definitely look at the images from buyers though, as some of them are a real eye opener - in both good and bad ways.

I've some lovely buffet dresses and t-shirts, and a couple of skirts that aren't so great (DS just raised one eyebrow when I opened the package Grin). Wash lovely, don't shrink. I like them.

I am shein obsessed! Overall the clothes have been great quality. I've had a couple of items that haven't fit right so I returned them with no problems.

@QueenBee52



whats the delivery time like ?

Only 4 days for the 2 vest tops I ordered.

The other 2 items (ordered at the same time) are yet to arrive but they gave a standard '3 weeks' for both.

what about sizing - are they true to UK sizes or do they come up small?

DD gets clothes from there, all cheap, quality varies as does sizing but each item has its own size guide which is accurate but you need your measurements. Ours can take about 2 weeks but we are rural.

I've bought loads from their curve collection, be prepared to get trashed on here, because they aren't an ethical company.

My first order arrived this week and I am so impressed, except for 1 dress, I shouldn't have sized up. I got shorts, pants and dresses. I measured myself and went by that, also I read lots of reviews. Now I have lovely summer clothes.

One of my kids uses them regularly with no issues. It’s one season only (if that) fashion though but the prices do reflect this. So I think mainly suited to young people who dress with the constantly changing trends rather clothes you will keep.

I've never used them my son just asked me about them a couple of days ago I told him I think they're probably like wish but I wasn't sure.

V much hit and miss, I'd say 90% hit for me though.

My girls get loads from there and no complaints so far.

They gave me a tip though which others have mentioned - ALWAYS read the reviews!

I love shein, never had anything bad. All the items have been good quality and fitted me perfectly.
Top tip- read the reviews for each item before buying!!!

I did one shop for the DDs. Thought the quality was appalling and material was horrible mmf. And I do felt guilty about the environmental impact of adding to the glut of cheap clothes. If you can afford to, I would shop elsewhere.

Thanks everyone. I’ll order a couple of items and see what they are like. Thanks for the tips about reading the reviews and sizing

Just reiterating to scroll down and look at the customer review photos and what size they ordered. When I have ended up browsing, doing that has almost always put me off buying whatever it is that looks great in the advertising image, you can generally see it's a bad fit or a bad texture of fabric. Often nothing disastrous granted but I only want to own things I love rather than just like or are 'fine for the price'.

I've ordered a few tote bags which were fine and I'm pleased with them, came in about a week to 10 days, just for grocery shopping,library books etc so nothing exciting and I've ordered stationery but the clothing I don't risk.
