🔸Quality:
EmeryRose belongs to the same manufacturers as SheIn and is, unfortunately, quite similar in quality. I wasn’t overly thrilled nor was I entirely surprised by the low quality.
🔸Design, Fit, & Sizing:
Due to a weird site issue, it looked like all items I bought were only offered in Small-Large sizing and so I accidentally ordered a Small. (With SheIn and any of their partners, I generally size down because their sizing runs large. For reference- I’m 5’8 and 138 pounds.)
Rechecking the site now- it looks like everything is available in an XS-Large, the XS button is just located right of the Large button versus being listed far left as is standard on most websites! (Odd!)
Both the shirt and the pants are pretty big and baggy, making them look less flattering and lending to the visual idea that they look cheaply made. Better fitting clothing normally gives the idea of being of a better quality!
🔸Durability:
This I would have to test over time, but ultimately I do not think that any of the items I purchased will last very long. These are staple pieces that you either invest in or are willing to replace as often as you wear!
The jewelry will easily tarnish and should absolutely be kept away from water, oils, etc.
The pants will likely hold up for some time, but the dye might fade. I can give you all updates!
The top is fairly thin and even a little see-through which I did NOT anticipate. The top also looked lighter on the website than it arrived!
The shoes are terribly made. For $24, I did actually expect better. They’re super super soft and flimsy, but if you’re sitting at a desk all day- they’ll do! They look cute and will likely hold up for some time with light wear.
🔸 Sustainability/Eco-Friendly Aspects:
Just like SheIn, Emery Rose is not know for being eco-friendly. Each item arrived in its own plastic bag, within the primary shipping bag.
✨The Pros and the Cons ✨
🔸For under $50, you have a WHOLE NEW OUTFIT for work
🔸The quality is pretty low on each item.
🔸 I received these items VERY quickly. I think this had a 3-5 day turnaround! It was my first time ordering with EmeryRose, but just like SheIn- they got items to me faster than anticipated with normal ground shipping!
🔸EmeryRose has SO any office AND age appropriate clothing items. More than most any other online retailer I’ve seen! So if you’re on a budget, but need to look put together- you can definitely spend $50-100 to buy some staple pieces to get you through!
🔸They offer lots of coupons and discounts on the site!
✨Ultimately, is it worth it? ✨
For $50 I have a new shirt that I can use in the office, dress down for something casual, and/or use for auditions, new shoes I can wear to work or running errands, and a solid pair of cute work pants that I can likely mix with many other items. Plus cute accessories that I can mix and match with multiple outfits and if I lose them? They cost less than $2! Do I wish I had ordered everything in an XS? Yes! Will the Smalls make do? Of course. I’d say it’s worth it if you’re in a crunch, but of course better to invest in pieces that will last you years.
✨Tips ✨
🔸I’ve more towards thrifting and investing more in core pieces, it makes supporting the fast fashion trends that SheIn represents even more difficult during the ever-worsening Global Warming crisis. China generated the same amount of CO2 as the U.S, India, Russia, and Japan COMBINED in 2019.
🔸Always read products reviews and photos BEFORE you buy
🔸Every item fits differently so remember to review sizing carefully and gauge by peoples reviews and the size that the model is wearing (my biggest online shopping tip!!!)
