I did a Shein haul and it went hilariously wrong – the dress was so small I couldn’t even get it over my head
THANKS to her great sense of humor, a Shein customer wasn’t angry when her new dress arrived with a baffling feature.
As the shopper demonstrated, she couldn’t get the garment over her head – but it wasn’t exactly an issue of sizing.
When Malissa Priddy (@malissapriddy) bought a new dress from Shein, she was excited to see it had built-in bling.
Sewn into the fabric around the collar, the dress had a gold necklace that created a dramatic, halter-style silhouette.
But from the first moment of Priddy’s video review, it was clear something was very wrong.
“Apparently, this dress is too small,” she said. Priddy spoke through a cutout on what was meant to be the front of the dress.
On top of her head, the circular collar with its built-in necklace sat like a hat, draping her face in fabric.
Priddy moved the camera high above her so viewers could see exactly what the problem was.
“There’s a chain,” she explained, showing the structurally-sound jewelry. “I don’t think it unclips.”
Laughing at her predicament, Priddy swore to finish her haul video in full – if she ever escaped from the dress.
“I was trying on this dress for you guys, but I’ll let you know if I get it figured out,” she promised.
Commenters were happy to laugh along with Priddy, thanking her for the hilarious, candid review.
“This made my morning,” one follower said.
“Imagine getting drunk in that and wanting to escape from your own shirt,” a different viewer imagined.
A few advocated for Priddy proudly wearing the dress as-is.
“Wear it like that. I think that’s why the lil hole is there,” one joked.
“Ready for the Met Gala!” someone else chimed in.
“Dress comes with a crown and a window,” another quipped. A few people described the gilded circlet as Priddy’s halo.
“Please put this has a review picture on Shein,” a person begged.
A crowd of commenters suggested every measure possible to try and get the dress on.
One person told Priddy to grease her forehead.
Another instructed her to force her head through the keyhole cutout in front, and wear the necklace at the back.
A less-serious commenter wrote, “You have to go feet first.”
Several people labeled the look as “futuristic,” with one writing that it looked like a Star Wars costume.
“I hope it does unchain though,” the sympathetic viewer added. “It’s annoying when clothing isn’t adjustable.”
Eventually, Priddy discovered protective plastic covering a clasp, which she removed.
Then she was able to get the necklace unclasped.
Once she solved the mystery of the dress, she modeled it in a follow-up video – and it looked stunning.
“It’s much better now that I’ve got that figured out,” the relieved fashionista said.
