Welcome back to The Velvet Runway, and this article about Beach Blues, and maxi dresses from SheIn. As you know I have a thing for maxi dresses, the off the shoulder trend, the beach and the color blue and this dress ticks all the boxes! Read on for more photos and details about this off the shoulder maxi dress from SheIn.*

Beach blues and Maxi Dresses
This week I was delighted to be given the opportunity to review this blue maxi dress from SheIn *.
I have never used SheIn before, and I was impressed by the wide range of looks available at reasonable prices. However, I naturally gravitated to this dress as it satisfied my love of maxi dresses, off the shoulder styles and blue.
I chose to take the photos for this post at the beach as I felt this was the perfect backdrop to this dress, I added a wide belt to make the (elasticated) waist more defined, and show off my curves. I also chose to wear heels as I am not very tall and so I wanted to elongate my legs.
I love the slit at the front of the dress as it’s just enough to show some leg without revealing too much, and I also love the colour!
This dress is currently on sale at $23,99, so it clearly isn’t designer quality but it does represent good value for money. I chose this dress, because it has an elasticated waist and also it’s quite floaty, so I was confident that it would fit, but I would recommend paying attention to the sizing when you order as the sizing is not consistent from one item to another depending on the type of item and the cut. Detailed measurements are given on each item page so I would definitely recommend taking your own measurements and checking them against the site to avoid any nasty surprises! Each page also includes photos of the item, details of the material, fabric type (stretch or no stretch) and reviews, so don’t hesitate to check this out, but be prepared to spend a long time on the site, as there is so much to choose from!!
At the moment SheIn have a sale on and free shipping for purchases over 30$, so check out their site here!
I hope you enjoyed this feature about Beach Blues and this maxi dress from SheIn, and have a look here for more of our style features.

I love your dress and how you’ve styled it with the oversized vintage style belt, it looks so lovely and adds a bit of edge to the look. I’ve never purchased anything from Shein before, but I’ve been seeing a lot of people sport their clothing, so I just may need to check them out! Thanks so much for sharing and I hope you have a great weekend!

We are huge fans of maxi dresses, it’s the perfect piece for summer. On days I don’t want to think about what to wear I pull for a maxi dress. I have never heard of SheIn, will definitely have to check it, love how the dress is price friendly as well =)
xoxo, Simona and Indre
Thank you so much! I love maxi dresses too – they are so comfy and this one is even easier to pull on as it has an elasticated waist and no zip! xxx
I love this off the shoulder maxi dress. The slit in front is perfect and like you said, for the price point this site has great options. I also like how they do have a more higher end section too. Love that you styled this with an oversized belt! Beautiful photos! xoxo, Christine
