SHEIN a review: NOT SPONSORED – Affiliate Links below
Browsing on the internet and Instagram, I have seen a company called SHEIN. They are a “fast-fashion” company with quite inexpensive items. After seeing a few people try them on, I thought I would give them a try.
Here are some of the tips I used to choose my items:
- Watch for sizing recommendations
- Read carefully about whether there is any stretch in the fabric
- Read any reviews for items
- Watch for shipping times
Five pieces were closed of which four are listed below. One of the items I chose, did not come. It is the dress with the statement sleeves. Also this blouse is on the site, but I couldn’t find the widget for it. http://us.shein.com/Frill-Trim-Pearl-Embellished-Top-p-419873-cat-1779.html
I was refunded the amount in my SHEIN account wallet. That money can be used to purchase something else or I can request that it be withdrawn. I am assuming that the item I not received was no longer available, but I wasn’t specifically told that.
The initial order was placed on March 8, 2018. The items shipped on March 21, 2018, and I received them March 26, 2018. Although the shipping took 7 days, the whole process took 19. That’s a long time. Also, I didn’t know the dress wasn’t coming until the 21st, so almost two weeks after placing the order. If this order was for a specific trip or event, I might have been scrambling. I did order green items for St. Patrick’s Day but that was well past then the items came.
As for sizing, I purchased a size small in all the items. I usually wear an XS, but I was unsure about their sizing AND about whether the clothes would shrink.
OK, now for the clothes. They came in individually wrapped bags which I liked.
I am going to style them for the next few days, wash and dry them, and I will let you know how it goes!
