... Read moreHey everyone! Summer is just around the corner, and you know what that means – new dresses! I recently did a SHEIN haul focusing on summer dresses, and I'm so excited to share my thoughts on each piece. It's always a bit of a gamble with online shopping, so I'm here to give you the lowdown on what I ordered versus what I actually got, including how they fit my body shape and if they're truly worth it.
First up, the SHEIN Essnce Solid Ribbed Knit Bodycon Dress. I snagged this one in a gorgeous coral pink, and let me tell you, the image online was pretty accurate! The fabric is incredibly soft and stretchy, which is perfect for a bodycon style. It hugs your curves really nicely without feeling restrictive. For someone like me who's a bit on the shorter side, I found the length to be just right – not too long, not too short. I rated it an 8/10 because it's super versatile; you can dress it up with heels for a night out or keep it casual with sneakers for a daytime look. Definitely a great basic for any summer wardrobe.
Next, I tried the SHEIN Essnce Twist Backless Split Thigh Cami Dress. I was immediately drawn to the vibrant lime green color, and it looks just as stunning in person. This dress truly lives up to its name with a comfortable stretch material that makes it a dream to wear. The twist backless detail is a showstopper, making it a fantastic option if you're looking for fun SHEIN club outfits or something a bit sexier for a summer evening. The split thigh adds a touch of allure without being too revealing, and the length was perfect for my height. Another 8/10 from me – it's bold, comfortable, and definitely a head-turner!
Moving on to the SHEIN Frenchy Square Neck Slim Fit High Split Summer Maxi Dress. This one came in a lovely redwood shade, which in person leans more towards a lighter pink color, but it's still very pretty! The material is incredibly soft, making it feel much more expensive than it is. I was a bit surprised by the length for a 'maxi' dress; while it's longer than the previous two, for taller girls, it might hit more like a midi. However, the high split is super chic and adds movement. I gave this one a 9/10 because it's elegant, comfortable, and perfect for a summer dinner or a casual beach day. Just be mindful of the length if you're tall!
Finally, I picked up the SHEIN PETITE Floral Print Slit Spaghetti Strap Maxi Dress. This black floral print screamed summer to me. The material is indeed thin and light, which is ideal for hot weather, but make sure to wear appropriate undergarments as it can feel a bit sheer in certain lighting. The spaghetti straps are adjustable, which is always a plus, and the length was, surprisingly, perfect for a petite maxi dress on me! The slit adds a nice touch without being too high. I rated this 7/10 because while it's beautiful and breezy, the thinness of the fabric might not be for everyone. It's a great casual summer dress for running errands or a picnic.
Overall, this SHEIN haul was a success! I found some amazing best summer dresses that are both trendy and affordable. My biggest tip for shopping on SHEIN, especially for girls looking for specific fits, is always to check the product reviews and the size chart carefully. Pay attention to comments about the fabric and fit from other customers. Happy shopping!
