I bought a cute set from Shein… it was such a flop, I looked like a Christmas tree | The Sun

FAST fashion and cheap products come at a price – and unfortunately, one fashionista learnt this the hard way.

Due to its low prices and relatively speedy delivery, the fast fashion giant, Shein, has become a go-to for many seeking trendy garments and accessories without forking out a fortune.

Although there have been countless customer wins, such as their £18 trousers that are perfect for petite women, not everyone's had the best experience with the China-based retailer.

Using low-quality materials and underpaid labour, Shein's products are often know to not look anything like their advertisements online -and nobody knows it better than Brittini Rae, a mum and content creator on TikTok.

Looking to replenish her wardrobe, Brittini decided to have a look on Shein when she stumbled across a cosy lounge set in khaki.

The set – comfy shorts and a knitted long-sleeve top – was on sale and retailed for just under £15.

The deal was too good to miss, and the mum immediately bagged the items.

But upon trying them on, the excitement vanished in seconds, as the bottoms were longer than originally planned and the top was not much more flattering either.

''I look like a Christmas tree,'' Brittini quickly noted uploading a clip of the unsuccessful try-on haul.

Fortunately, it seems that she has learnt from her mistakes, as she later revealed the two-piece had no reviews.

''I was shocked by not looking like the girl in the photo with it on,'' the fashion-loving mum added.

With more than a whopping 1.5million views, the clip has since taken the internet by storm, leaving people in hysterics.

But whilst many like Brittini found the situation amusing, plenty of social media users said the khaki set looked good on her.

''I like the top! I would just wear it with tighter fitting shorts!'' wrote one person.

Another agreed, adding: ''I really like it! It looks cute on you.''

Some also took to comments to explain why this might've happened, with people claiming there's a trick the industry uses at photoshoots.
