"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.
As she modeled the outfit, Anna proceeded to spray herself generously with Fabreeze.
"It just smells so bad. I don’t care what it looks like because it smells like trash. Also why are these pants so short?" she asked.
The influencer also tried on a $12 with chains, as well as an ill-fitting , available for $11.
Anna also showed viewers a $12 , which she said was "kind of off."
She explained: "It’s not too small and it’s not too big. I don’t know what human they based this shirt off of because this human’s got a unique body type."
For her next look, Anna modeled a $20 which she said: "has a low level smell test but I feel like with a wash this will not smell like feet."
Similarly, she tried on a $16 , which had a "medium grade smell test."

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."
