Thank you for being so open & frank with your review. I too am an apple shape & love your videos coz years ago there was no such definition. As “apple shaped”. I’m 50 so remember it well. I realised earlier this year, that SHEIN had dropped their standards. I bought a playsuit to take away on holiday, and one of its boot lace strap ripped whilst trying it on. I quickly mended it, but thought to myself, that’s it for me. That was April & I’ve not used them since. I know they’re cheap, but it doesn’t mean they can sell us crap. Your haul would have been a good one, but glad you’re returning & keeping the pullover. Thank you for sharing. 💖
You are totally right they have changed soooo much!! I believe since they became big they don't care anymore. The customer service is also so much worse.
I totally agree in relation to the importance of lining, Marleen. The red suit was nice, as was the sweater. All else was not great, but could have and should have been lovely, if properly executed. It seems Shein is going in the wrong direction. Good video. Thanks for sharing.
Totally agree with you Marleen, if you are not going to take pride in the product you are selling, then just dont sell. I havent bought from Shein for a while now, I have switched to Temu for the reasons you detailed in your video. Thank you so much for being frank with your review. It helps us all. I do hope the company takes note and returns to winning ways again. 😉
Hi Marlene The quality of some things have been badly made and can see your point as I would not pay for something substandard. The jumper looked good on you All the best and have a nice week. See you in the next one xx
I noticed that you have lost a lot of weight Marleen. You are looking fab. I agree SHEIN is slipping a bit. I have only returned things that don't fit. Overall my experience with SHEIN clothing has been great. I guess it depends on what you buy. 😊❤
Marlene I have found Shein really rather hit and miss with so many items. I've some great pieces but many more that are of poor quality . Having a lining in jackets and coats is a definately must as it creates a better structure and fit.❤
Thanks for the honesty. I find the same thing. I am so hesitant to buy from Shein. I look for cotton and cotton blend items and I read the reviews but I have gotten a few good items.
The style of the red 2pc suit was gorgeous even if it wasn't your color. The fit was perfect. I hear you on details. I need pockets and a back yoke for boob room.
Most of what I've bought from shein have been good mainly shoes but I have donated alot of clothes as well they were not good quality. I now buy from small businesses to keep them in business. I may pay extra but they are quality and some hand made clothes and jewellery I really love vintage jewellery and i only buy what I need. xx
I would love to support more small business but i have to be honest and say that I refuse to pay €30-50 for a basic t-shirt. We have some great small businesses here but they are just too expensive.
I gave up with thair clothes and use to like thair duvet sets but they are awful now. Be a very long time before i buy again if i ever do. Thanks for your honesty 🙂
I think they have always been of poor quality. I've tried not to think about their appalling working conditions, high toxicity content and bad reputation. When I've ordered things. 80% of them have been disappointing to say the least. I'm surprised that you only notice that now. Low price fast fashion is bad for (our children's) planet and encourages wasteful over-consumerism of crappy tat.
@@ImjustmeMarleen I think there are other buying options available then places like this. Sales are a great way to shop as well as thrifting and consignment stores where you can often find quality pieces for very little. When items are so cheap we tend to buy much more than we really need.
Yes I agree with you I think we just need to make sure we don’t judge other on their choices. No one knows what anyone is going through behind closed doors or what budget and options they have. If we all do the very best we can hopefully that can make a small difference.
Marleen did you see on the news about the girl who found a scorpion in her shein boots 😂am going to order the little sweater and will keep searching cos I love shein too ❤
It is one of my pet peeves nowadays that companies dont seem to invest in customer care training anymore......gosh i sound like my mum😂....but its true!
Wow, that was really bad, the thing is the prices have gone way up as well, as the standard has gone down, also now, not everything is as you see in the photos, lenth is exaggerated. As usual the mens cloths remain good, Sandra.
Enjoyed this video, and I agree with everything you said on SheIn. Have you ever thought of doing a Bonprix Haul? That would be fun to see. By the way you are loosing weight for health reasons and boy does it show...looking beautiful as always. I'm still watching you from Italy, I just love your videos... grazie 😊
I’ve given up with them now as a couple of times I’ve put things in my basket, gone to pay and the cost has double or tripled within minutes of me putting in the basket.
Omg really? I noticed one day I had some stickers in my basket but when I went to pay, they were more expensive than what they were listed for.. needless to say I left them behind lol
Hi Marlene, Ive noticed the quality is slipping a bit on Shein and Temu....Ive recently seen a couple channels saying that both Shein and Temu are being hit with new tariff and customs charges that are more expensive for them because the US is upset that Shein and Temu are seriously taking away billions away from US retailers......think that might have something to do with the quality.....So we all might see poorer quality items and higher prices......
The fabric is worse and the prices are higher. Lately all the vouchers and perks have stopped and you have to pay for a membership discount…erm…defeats the point!?! Boooo shein 😢 oh! And- I have ordered 3 pairs of the same trainers because the layout of one or other of the laces and tongue were really crooked and ruined the shoe:( wonky made trainers 👎🏻
Oh dear Marleen... not your best success. I have never bought from Shein so can't comment on whether their quality has gone downhill, but what I can say is that I have received items from M&S which have been creased to high heaven. I think in their case it is part of a drive to use less packaging so smallish things end up loose and unwrapped in large post bags, they move around in transit and look like a dog's dinner by the time they arrive. 😒🙄 By the way, I'd just like to say that you are not in the least bit offensive. However there are a lot of people out there who enjoy feeling offended by things and enjoy even more making their offence known. Ignore them. Xxx
Thank you Elizabeth. I know I have to ignore but I must admit I’m finding it harder and harder. But upwards and onwards. I remind myself that others comments are a reflection of them and not of me. Thank you for the reminder x
Hi, you have to be really careful what you buy on these websites , I have never used Shein but I'm an avid Temu buyer . For the most part I have had reasonable quality , I got 2 jumpers the other day which are lovely and comfortable. Kids socks are amazing and so cheap . I rsalise about the exploitation of workers which obviously not good at all but wondering if they would be able to get jobs at all if it weren't for these companies ? Doesnt make it right though
Buying from companies like Shein isn't an especially good idea! They are just mainly fast fashion junk, poorly made, exploiting workers, and cluttering up landfills! Shein and Temu are some of the worst when it comes to wasteful consumption! The items are so cheap because the companies use the shabbiest material and hardware, don't bother with any quality details, and pay their workers next to nothing. Despicable companies! I'm sorry you were so disappointed in your selections.
sorry about your experiences, but I never buy pants jackets from them I always want to try them on in person , but I do buy dresses skirts t-shirts & shoes from them & they have been really good , just check your measurements & reviews to see there sizes as well . 🙏
Marlene, I tried to tell you this months ago but you dismissed my comment and said something like I was free not to watch if I didn't want to. I didn't mean anything against you, I was trying to point out that shein dont correctly describe their clothes and the quality is bad and the way they are delivered is terrible. Now you have seen that first hand
@@ImjustmeMarleenyou never offend me Marlene. I watch your videos because I like your honesty and also your ability to put an outfit together. Your style is fabulous. I personally have some issues with Shein ethically but I am still able to fully appreciate your skill and love your videos.
@@ImjustmeMarleen You are wonderful many of us enjoy your honest reviews I have never seen you be offensive to any one keep doing what your doing we enjoy it this is your job and helping people on a budget xx
Just to be clear you couldn't offend me because I don't know you. I continued to watch your videos that didn't include shein. Until I saw today's thumbnail. As well as the terrible customer service and quality of clothes I too dont like sheins ethics. I connect with you for being Irish ( ok you weren't born in Ireland) apple shaped and for having chronic illness, which I too suffer from. Maybe it was just the bad shein haul that stirred people up.
I’m so sad about what you said. Using Gods name in such a way really is offensive to me. I know people get angry, but there’s other things you can say to get that point across. I’ve been watching you for two or three years and always really appreciate your channel. That is why it just shocked me when it came out of your mouth. I know that everybody’s values are different, but I just have to go with mine.
If you been watching me that long, thank you, I hope you will know that it’s a figure of speech (normal language where I live) and that you will forgive this “slip up”.
Edit: ive just been made aware of the time stamp where I use the word. I hope those of you who knows me knows that I go out of my way never to offend anyone, to be kind and respectful. It is every day language where I live and was never meant to offend. I hope those of you who watch me regularly will be kind and understanding and forgive this “slip up”. Thank you
@@Allthoughtsmatterthank you for clearing that up. I missed it even watching the video again.. It is indeed normal speech where I live, a simple figure off speech and in no way meant offensive. And I hope those who watch my channel will no that mean no offence x
@@Allthoughtsmatter Your nickname suggests to me that all thoughts matter. Marleens too? Or just those that suit you personally? That could hardly be ALL thoughts then. The Lord is the Lord for some and a figure of speech for others. I am sure he knows that.

Absolutely agree. We don’t want crap. Rather they raise the prise a bit and give us quality x
You are totally right they have changed soooo much!! I believe since they became big they don't care anymore. The customer service is also so much worse.
Oh don’t get me started on the customer service 🙈.
It’s such a shame as they were top of my list of go too places..
Completely agree....many of the pieces i've received lately have been very wrinkled and the quality has been hit or miss.
Hopefully it’s just a glitz and they will be back in form soon
I agree coats/jackets are much better lined. The red trouser suit looks really nice on you. The navy pinstripe trousers looks nice!
Quality on those was in fairness nice but yes we need the linings
I totally agree in relation to the importance of lining, Marleen. The red suit was nice, as was the sweater. All else was not great, but could have and should have been lovely, if properly executed. It seems Shein is going in the wrong direction. Good video. Thanks for sharing.

Marleen, I hear your frustration and I second it!! Shein is getting so much worse!!
Sadly yes
