Shein clothing

[Choccymumma]

Is this as good as it looks? I've seen so many things I like but wondered if anyone can recommend it? Also the sizing? I'm a 14/16 so looks like an XL, any tips?

Don’t do it. There are loads of review sites giving them awful reviews, the very positive reviews all seem far too good to be true.

Ok! Thanks. It does seem too good to be true!

I bought a couple of dresses from there. They are fine. The material is a bit thinner on some items but didn't mind for the weather. I am size 16 and the XL fits fine.

Everything i have ordered has arrived and been great

Environmentally it's terrible. The clothes will be worn for a short time but be in the ground forever

I have some lovely clothes from there which have lasted. In regards to size, always read the reviews! Everything I've got has fitted brilliantly

I've had some bargains this summer from shein! Definitely read the reviews though.
I'd say out of 15-20 items, that 2 or 3 are not very good, but all very cheap so I've flung into my bootfair pile rather than returning.
I've had most success with long sleeve and t-shirt style tops. A couple of great pairs of trousers and a few summer dresses. I buy size M and am a UK 12/14.

A friend returned everything though, said her body is too long for Shein 🤣

From my personal experience some things on there and great and some things are so cheap and rubbish.

I was surprised but how quick the delivery was (less than a week) but the quality was absolutely abysmal.

I’ve got pretty much of all
Of my long dresses from shein. Some of the material is polyester (but I feel it is everywhere now) but I’ve got dresses I really love!

If you look at the reviews they are often negative but give 5 stars. There seems to be a system in place where you get credit/points for a good review. Hence the majority of the reviews being 5 stars and the review being random song lyrics. People also use the reviews to advertise their Instagram accounts…

I have bought from there to check it out and a lot of the tops are a thin polyester that you can’t notice in the pics. I ordered a lovely T-shirt and when it came it was a hard shiny fabric but at the price it was, it was too much effort to return it, so I put it in one of those charity bags.

I have a few belts from there that were a bargain and the accessories look good and probably a safer buy than the actual clothes.

Just a few of the weird reviews. 5 stars for what isn’t a positive review and song lyrics?

Go ahead and order, as long as you have no conscience.

Hit and miss on quality deffo but you can be lucky! I bought 4 of their kaftans last year at about £9-10 each to add a bit of colour to the huge amount of black I wear. 2 were fab quality and comfy, 2 not so much. I'm wearing one today though 😊

DD has ordered from there.

One skirt was horrible (just looked 'wrong' compared to the photo, fabric too stiff for the design IYSWIM) but everything else was fine. We sent it to the charity shop, as it the overall order was still very cheap even allowing for that being wrong, so I have no idea about their returns.

I see so many threads asking about them, I now wonder if it's a marketing strategy. my sil ordered from them.....honestly it was awful shite

So far, only had great stuff. Have returned some bits for being too short in the body for me (happens everywhere) and the refund was really easy and quick, but DD has kept everything so far. She's had a few hoodies that wash beautifully which I was nervous about beforehand.

As always - check the material content and read the reviews. You get points for checking in and reviews that turn into money off, but people are usually honest about if something is thin or something within the actual wording.

Oops I forgot to include the best one - nothing good to say, returning it but …5 stars!!

I tried it for the first time this summer. It was a cheap skirt for my daughters birthday party and very specific couldn’t find anything else like it online. Amazingly the skirt that arrived was better than the pictures! The official images had (what I thought to be) a bit of a design flaw which I could deal with but the skirt I received didn’t have said flaw! I was impressed with the transaction, cost of postage and speed of postage. That being said I probably wouldn’t order loads of clothes from there, the occasional one off yes.

Size wise I’m a size 10 and bought a medium which fits fine.

No it isn't. I bought a tunic top that looked great on the model, when it arrived it was basically made of plastic and so loud they would have seen me coming 5 blocks away. I have never worn it.
The camera filters on their website are amazing.

It depends what you're after. I wanted a couple of floaty dresses for work, because I couldn't find any without ruffles anywhere. Quality is primark and I needed to put little stitches in to stop exposing boobs and thigh, but I was surprised how well they fit. I'm a tall 12 and ordered M. Think I kept about 1/3 of what I ordered, but that's pretty much online shopping anyway.

I absolutely love Shein! All my work dresses are from there and I have some lovely summer dresses too. I always read the reviews as they tell you to size up/down. I've found the returns to be ok, they do take a while but they're free to return.

My teens buy from there. They like 'proper' T-shirts and shein sell them rather than the weird cropped ones in store. Quality has all been good too.

I bought a top with one order as it was cheaper to order more (they do good discounts) and it's great.

Read the reviews on individual items before you buy. Same quality as primark, good if you need a few cheap bits, but not for lasting quality. I got a load of big tshirts when I was pregnant to last me 6 months. Wore them to death, they held up great!

I've got some really great knitwear from there - chunky oversized cardis and also some nice summery shawl type tops. I've had a couple of bits that were cheap and nasty but most have been great. They also have a plus size site if you want to size up.
