I found a gorgeous full-length sequin gown on Shein – it looks just like a designer brand but is £80 cheaper

A SHOPPER has raved about finding a glittering gown on Shein which looks like a dupe for a designer alternative – but £80 cheaper.

Fashionista Carolina Piazentin showed off the dazzling dress from the budget retailer, which was covered in embellished detailing.

The dress was figure-hugging and had glitzy detailing all over ittiktok/@carolina.piazentin

On her @carolina.piazentin account, she wrote: “SHEIN Haul – 5 days 5 dresses. Code 32769445.”

The nude-coloured dress had thin straps and fell to just above her ankles.

Perfect for glam events, the figure-hugging dress looked ideal for party season, and set her back £42.

A number of viewers were quick to comment saying that they noticed the resemblance to a dress sold by Oh Polly.

Their Antonella dress – which comes in four colours – and features sparkly shapes on the sheer material.

The main difference between the two gorgeous dresses is the price tag, with Shein’s similar-looking dress being £80 cheaper.

The Oh Polly evening gown currently costs £120, but has a five-star rating with shoppers.

Many people were impressed at the Shein find, with one commenting “oh wow”, and another writing “beautiful.”

One fashion lover said: “Perfection.”

Meanwhile, one added: “I don’t have the right body type for this dress but it is absolutely stunning on you!”

Her video has racked up over half a million views and 11,000 likes, so seems to be a hit with social media users.

The Oh Polly version’s description reads: “Glittering evenings. 

“A premium design crafted by our team of in-house ateliers, Antonella is an effortlessly glamorous gown cut from sheer, stretch mesh fabric and hand embellished with delicate artisanal crystal hotfix.

“Complete with a soft scoop neckline and delicate shoulder straps.”

As well as almond, you can also pick it up in emerald, mocha and cocoa.

It is also stocked in sizes four to 18, while the Shein alternative comes from size six to 16.

What is Shein and is it legit?

Shein is an online-only fast-fashion retailer, based out of China, that has become a number one shopping destination for many around the world.
The company was valued at $66billion in 2023, dwarfing that of popular high street brands Zara and H&M.
The fashion retailer was founded in late 2008, by entrepreneur and marketing specialist Xu Yangtian, also known as Chris Xu.
Shein is a legitimate selling website and is not a phishing scam.
But you may receive a disappointing order or run into shipping issues if you order from the site, according to reviews.
There have been swathes of quality complaints, which makes sense when looking at the price tag.
