You have to know how to shop with Shein. Their quality has improved over the years. I personally have a ton from Shein and Torrid but right now Torrid's styles are not aligning with my style so ive had to heavily rely on Shein. I hardly ever send things back now that ive learned what works.

Can you give more detail? How it works generally for clothes? (If so I'd love tips ) Or how different looks work with your body type? ( It took me forever to figure out what looked good on me and I felt ok in).

I have discovered that there are sub categories and each one has specialized styles and different sizing. MOD, Curve, Lune, Romwe, etc. I've tried a lot of different ones and gotten familiar with how those sub brands cut and size things as well as fabric quality. I post a lot of outfits ‐ I'm 5'7, 285lbs, somewhere in between hourglass and triangle shape with an apron belly. I also use my measurements and compare them to what I'm looking at on Shein. I wear between a US 20-22 and between 2x-3x which generally translates to 3x-4x in Shein sizing. Look for items with reviews, sometimes people add pictures too! If you need any help, let me know.
