EVERYONE knows that weddings can be expensive, particularly when it comes to buying all the bridal outfits.
However, one savvy bride-to-be shared how she saved £328 on a stunning dress for her hen do by shopping on Shein.
Nicola Shackleton uploaded a video on her @nicola_ryan98 account showing off her gorgeous mini dress, which had a corset body and tulle train.
She wrote: “How I saved £328 on my hen do bridal dress! The ultimate Shein bridal look.
“I found a high low dress on Revolve that I couldn’t stop thinking about and had to have… “But it was £361.
“I just couldn’t face it.
“I spent months searching for similar dresses and had no success, so I tried Shein as a last resort.
“They had sooo many similar dresses to the one I had in mind!”
Glam Nicola added how she had ordered a few different styles and “hoped for the best”, and Shein did not let her down.
She added: “Wow I was so impressed!
“For £33 you can’t go wrong.
“Save this for your bridal / hen do shopping spree.”
She told followers the dress was Shein’s Belle Contrast Lace Ruffle Trim Mesh Tube Dress.
One viewer gushed: “Ahhh deffo have to get this.”
Another added: “Absolutely amazing.”
Nicola replied saying: “It’s a must.”
She’s not the only one to rave about Shein for wedding outfits.
While many fork out a small fortune on designer gowns and high-end shoes, one bride has proven that you don’t need to splash to cash to look expensive on your wedding day.
Instead, she found the “perfect” frock that she claims “fit like a glove” from Shein – and it cost just £44.
The delighted shopper rushed to the comments section and posted a stunning snap of herself wearing the Love & Lemonade ‘women’s white fishtail wedding dress with straps.’
The eye-catching sparkly dress features a halter neckline and double strap detail and is emblazoned with silver sequins to ensure any bride is the star of the show.
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.”
Meanwhile, the mermaid style is super flattering on her figure and appears to hug her in all the right places.
Delighted with her purchase, she enthused: “Very nice dress. I am very pleased. It’s very comfortable and fits like a glove.”
And the good news is the frock, which retailed at £51.99, is currently on sale, meaning shoppers can nab it for £8 cheaper.
So it’s little wonder it has proved a popular purchase for other brides too, with the review section racking up an impressive 42 five-star reviews online.
