Unpopular opinion: That $15 Shein dress I bought actually held up after 10 washes
I grabbed a striped sundress from Shein for $15 last summer, mostly just to see what the hype was about. After 10 washes on cold and air drying it, the seams are still straight and the color hasn't faded at all. I was totally expecting it to fall apart like everyone says, but now I'm confused about whether I just got lucky or if the quality horror stories are overblown. Has anyone else had a random cheap piece that surprised you in a good way?

gracethomas is right, how you treat your clothes makes a big difference. I had a similar thing happen with a $10 shirt from Forever 21 years ago, I washed it on cold and hung it to dry and it lasted like three years. But with Shein specifically, I think it's totally random based on which factory made it. The striped ones with thicker cotton usually hold up better than the thin polyester stuff. You probably got one from a better batch, so just keep doing what you're doing and baby that dress in the wash.
