Sorry my pic was so small, I am not exactly sure how to get a bigger version. It's a smart top with a cowl neck (I love those necklines as they feel easy to wear) and it fits my body! The sequins and beading on the shoulders are a problem though - in terms of washing.
So, today I wore it with fitted jeans and a similar colour cardigan (I don't like bare arms, but need my armpits free due to hot flushes). It looked nice. When I put on my 'nude' ankle boots it all looked really lovely.
It felt very strange!

I know you asked Lady Wolfshead, but I was reading about Shein and my advice is what I got from an online fashion blogger who said basically only buy the clothes with lots of reviews (some outfits have thousands of reviews). A lot of the women post height, weight and measurements as well as photos. It will help you figure it out. Their sizing is dicey. It can be hit and miss, but the reviews are really helpful. Have fun!
I recommend going 1 size up in most things, but at the top of the reviews is a "true to size" graph that shows what % of people found the size accurate, too large or too small. The overall rating on things tends to be really high and I think Shein manages to milk positive reviews in a couple of ways, like you can't review something you are returning (I haven't found a way anyway). But individual reviews can be helpful\
I had to return 3 things from my latest Shein haul due to quality issues (unraveling thread, assymetrical sewing). Haven't had that issue before but make sure you keep the packaging/slip as they require it for a return.

If you decide to buy it, use code beckyre15 and that should give you 15% off. If that one doesn't work try searching for shein hauls on youtube and many of them should have a code.
Truthfully I'm a bit disappointed in Shein at the moment due to the poor quality control on the items I received last week. That beautiful blouse I bought with the polka dot/flower pattern was cut differently than the photo, and the flower portion was almost under my arm. I did send them photos. If the return process works, I may try them again since I haven't had these issues in previous orders.
I got a few Xmas presents from them that had to go back. It's cheap stuff, so I'm wary when I order, but a lot of the time, I've been quite happy. So, it's sort of worth it to me. I got this great empire waist mini-dress a while back and it's perfect for concerts. I get a lot of use out of what works.
OK, so I've been looking a lot at stuff online, and doing my best to curb my retail therapy, so I haven't bought anything I"ve posted or looked at in general.
Until today. This was only $20. It's really my style. I got it on ModCloth. I don't make very much $$ right now, but I've been doing side work, and have saved a little. I feel so horrible today, so I bought it. And it's so me.

My dress showed up. It's a little big (I read in the reviews it ran large, so I went down a size... still a little big!), but it looked good with a belt, and I don't think I'll need it tailored. It's so very pretty and I'm glad I bought it!
I'm looking at belts right now. I think I found a nice affordable one that will look nice with this!

Oh lovely! Let us know when the belt comes and how it looks with the dress? I would never have thought of a belt with it - why????
