I’m recently engaged and am starting to begin dress shopping. I’ve looked everywhere and am really trying to stay within (or under) $500 for a dress. I’m plus size- 1-2x and 5’3 which just seem like barrier after barrier in finding enough options.
I was on Shein and ordered 6 dresses- to try on for style/shape and because I really do think I could see myself in them.
I’m pretty low maintenance-and want my planning to be as stress free and easy as possible. We are planning on getting married in the desert outside of Vegas with a small group. Anyone order their dress online? Or have any experience with dresses off Shein?
