Just wondered if anyone had ever ordered from here and if so how you found the quality/sizing/delivery? Thank you :-)

Size up about 3 sizes and expect poor quality. Out of the five items I ordered, only one was genuinely wearable. Spend a bit more elsewhere, as it's cheap for a reason!

I ordered, it's all made of plastic ! Felt really horrid on my skin.

Agree with everything mummaofmytribe says!

It looks like complete tat, so I swerved it. All those kinds of websites have the same vibe.

Wonky seams and weird shower curtainish fabric

I ordered some t shirts - I sized up to a medium in one and a large in the other. I am usually a 6-8 but am 27 weeks pregnant and the medium fits me perfectly, the large is big.
The quality is ok for t shirts nothing special. I also ordered an oversized top in t shirt material and it’s shapeless and gross.
My friend got a few summer tops from them that were actually really nice but they were lace and broiderie anglaise material and seemed better quality but I think it’s really hit and miss. Not sure I’d order again as sending back is such a faff which is what they bank on I reckon!

Good delivery but bad quality in my experience. I won't use them again.

Don't do it. I ordered a jumper. Took months to arrive. By the time it did I forgot I had ordered it and wondered why I had bought a jumper for a doll when it arrived

Oh blimey thank you- best avoided then!!

I've ordered a few things and quality/sizing has varied tbh. Got some really nice tops and swimsuits, however also one or two things that, if I'd tried them on in a shop probably might not have bought, but were so cheap compared to effort/cost of returning that I've just kept them and worn occasionally.

I've only had to return one thing (a skirt due to zip being broken), and, to be fair, they agreed to cover the return postage and let me include some other stuff I was otherwise meh on but didn't have anything wrong with it. I didn't find the returning process any more awkward/effort than with any other shop. Everything I've had has been delivered in ten days or less, which I suppose is slightly longer than uk based shops but not hugely. Definitely never taken months!

The only thing I would say is you have to check the sizing for every individual item as they are hugely different. You can be a size S in one thing and an XL in another.

I don't buy loads from there but I've got to say I really like their reviewing system where people are encouraged to post their own photos and honest opinions, so you can see what real people look like in the clothes. You can usually filter out what looks cheap/synthetic there compared to the 'formal' photos. I really wish more shops did that!

I have ordered a few things for 10yo DD. They are OK for the price, and we didn't have any problems with the delivery. I also got lots of cute earrings.
Even at my slimmest (12-14), I could not fit into the adult clothes.

My friend has ordered done lovely things from Shein. Nice playsuits etc. She must be lucky though as other people have had horrible things.

I ordered from everything5pounds a few months ago and only kept 2 items out of 6,the others cost too much to return and were horribly ugly. Made of plastic fibres, sweaty, wonky seams, hole in the side etc.

I know they are marketed as bargainous on moneysavingexpert.com as excess stock ftom M&S, Next etc and some items probably are, but having spent £30 I may as well have shopped on the high street during a sale. Ebay gave new with tags excess stock from decent shops as well if you search.

A friend ordered a couple of bikinis n the summer that were lovely, so based on this I ordered a few things. Bikini top and bottoms were massively different in sizing, beach cover up was lovely, by not great quality, and a top/skirt co-ord was awful. Made the mistake of ordering some leggings, hoodie and jacket last month as there was an offer on. I ordered an XL in the hoodie based on reviews (I'm usually an 8-10) and it is way too small, leggings are ok and jacket is a bit big but usable. The reviews are always so good online, but I won't be ordering doing here again as it's just too hit and miss.
