sheinside.com online clothing store review

I came across a few items from she insider on polyvore and decided to visit their website.

sheinside.com

They seem to have a lot of promotions going on all the time.

If you like their facebook page, you also get a certain percentage off as well.

So I browsed around a bit and these are the items I wanted to order.

I checked their facebook "like" page because I still wasn't sure how legit this website was. I saw they had 35,000+ likes and one of my mutual friends also liked it and this reassured me.

So I was doing research on the site about how their sizing worked and if items ran big/small/normal/tight/loose.

I found their size chart and their item description measurements to be rather confusing. 

The grey striped sweater was a one size fits all dealio.

The turquoise sheer top came in small, medium, and large and based on how they presented the measurements, it seemed like the shirt was a baggy fit so I went with a medium. (If it was a tight fit, I would normally go with a large just because I don't enjoy tight clothing)

The high waisted shorts also came in small, medium, and large and based on the measurements, I ordered the large size.

So when I placed my order, I got free shipping and used a discount code i found on the internet (barbro20 was the coupon code I used)

So I received an email with my payment receipt that same friday i ordered. I waited 5 days for the "your item has shipped" email but I never got it.

I contacted the store to see if they had sent it out yet and they hadn't but said they would be sending it out within the next few days and that they would send a free gift for my having to wait.

So another week went by and I hadn't heard anything from them about my items shipping. I contacted them once again because I was upset and I guess they had sent me an email about shipping my items but it went into my spam box which is odd because their other emails came straight to my inbox. i don't know why.

So I received the package Monday August 6th when I had ordered the items Friday July 20th.

When I opened the package, there was no receipt/exchange/return form just the clothes, each in their own bag. 

When I tried on the grey sweater, I was very pleased. It was stretchy and it looked nice.

When I tried on the mint chiffon shirt, I was pleased, however the arms fit more snug while the rest of the shirt had a bit of a baggy fit to it. Not as much as I expected it to be. The arms weren't uncomfortable so I decided to keep this item as well.

I tried on the high waisted shorts and they honestly didn't fit over my hips. I was disappointed because they led them on to be a looser fit and the large didn't even fit. I will be returning this item.

They did also include a necklace as a free gift for the hassle, but I didn't really like it so I gave it to my mom

hahaha.

There were no tags on the clothes. No price tags, and no size tags that come attached to all clothing items. No tags to tell you how to wash the items either.

Another thing I learned is that they are based in Singapore so that is why it took my package a while to get to where I live (Minnesota). I have no problem with that, it is just the fact they didn't say they were based there so i assumed it was going to be the same experience as any other American clothing company I've ordered from. 

Would I order from them again?? Probably not.
This website has had so many bad reviews.....

But if that doesn't convince you enough and you want to try it out for yourself:

I would not recommend ordering their pants.

I would recommend ordering a size up in the button down shirts they offer,

and 

I would recommend trying out their one size fits all items!
