And while this dress was a better fit, Bethany insisted it was “nothing special”tiktok/@bethanyfrancesca_

But Bethany Francesca decided to give the store a try as she hunted for some cute summer clothes, and documented her experience in a video on her TikTok page.

“A realistic h&m experience as a size 18,” she captioned her video.

“H&M try on, size 18/20,” she wrote over the clip, which began with her trying on an off-the-shoulder black floral dress.

“Cute but nothing special,” she said of the outfit.

“Great staple, bought this!” she added.

Her video was watched over 4,500 times after she posted it, with comments praising her for the honesty of her haul.
