"I don’t hate the feeling of this fabric, it’s actually quite nice. And I say this because usually when I get dresses from Shein, or when I’ve tried them in the past, it’s got that weird chemical-feeling cloth," she said.
Next, the YouTuber modeled a $25
"They literally smell like rotten eggs. If you went out in the sun in these, you’d be the stinky kid. And as a plus-sized person, that’s literally one of my biggest fears," she explained.

In her overall review, Anna said: "A lot of these clothes smell like dusty ass. There’s no other way to describe it, the smell was so pungent at times that I felt like throwing up."
She also added: "In terms of fit, it’s still inconsistent as hell. For me to buy items that really should have fit me based on the size chart and have them not even close up, it’s just clear proof to me that Shein has not gotten their sizing together."
