A fashion expert's verdict on buying a wedding dress from Shein
Fabulous' Fashion Editor, Clemmie Fieldsend reveals why you shouldn't be shopping at Shein for your wedding dress.
"When it comes to your big day, you want to feel your best and look your best.
You want to feel special and, more importantly, be comfortable in what you're wearing, are you going to get that from Shein? I doubt it.
Look, in an ideal world you're getting hitched to the person of your dreams and what you wear is irrelevant. But let's be honest, it's kind of a big deal.
If you're spending your hard earned cash on food, drinks, favours and everything else to celebrate you and your partner with your nearest and dearest, you deserve a dress that makes you feel like a million dollars.
But a £30 frock from Shein is a gamble.
It might be ill fitting, it might be badly made or just the complete opposite to what you expected.
High street bridal dresses are ten a penny these days with brands such as Asos, Karen Millen and even Primark selling bridal wear.
Make a day out of it and hit your local high street or shopping centre to try on as many as you can until you find 'the one', don't wait for the postman to deliver disappointment."
However, it was the fifth and final dress that proved to be a fan favourite.
The £116.77 off-the-shoulder look included long lacey sleeves with intricate detailing throughout.
It also featured a plunging neckline, which broke up the detailed bodice of the dress.
Lucy gave her followers a close up look at the detailing before backing gup and showing off the flowing skirt and low cut back.
