I did a Shein Halloween haul for a big chest, the nurse costume was NSFW and I was busting out of Little Red Riding Hood | The Sun

HALLOWEEN is an opportunity to get creative with costumes that shock with their scare factor or sex appeal.

Shein has taken inspiration from traditional outfits and this year’s biggest TV shows for their range of stylish clothes, to wear at events throughout the spooky season.

I tried a variety of the most popular costumes available from the women’s fashion retailer.

I wear a UK size 14 [US 10] in clothes and have a small band but big cup size in bras, as a UK 32J [US 32M].

I was uncertain which size to buy for my first time ordering from Shein, but luckily I was able to take inspiration from fashionistas who have a similar body shape and have done hauls on TikTok.

I started off with the brand’s button-front nurse costume dress with a belt and hair hoop for $15 in a size large.

When I took it out of the packaging, I was stunned by the length of the dress which could’ve easily been mistaken for being a top.

I knew immediately that it wasn’t something that I would feel comfortable leaving the house wearing.

Nevertheless, I teamed it with a pair of red heels from River Island that I already owned to complete the look.

I was definitely wearing the wrong bra underneath but I think even if I was wearing a white strapless bra it would’ve been visible, because of the deep cut-out on the chest.

I understand the style is supposed to be sexy rather than scary but my body felt very exposed and the sheer material wasn’t flattering around my stomach.

If it was slightly longer and tried on with a corset or other shapewear like Skims, it may have looked better. 

The garter couldn’t stay up on my thigh when I tried to walk around, making it a very unpractical costume for parties.

I couldn’t wait to take it off and change into Shein’s Halloween cut-out crop tank top and matching pencil skirt for $18.

I sent photos wearing this outfit to my friends and family and no one realized that it was supposed to be a Halloween costume.

Perhaps the fairytale Little Red Riding Hood was the inspiration for the design, but it’s unclear.

I ordered it in a size large and as always with co-ords, I had an issue with the bottom being too big while the top just about fit my bust.

The hood was also huge and I had to slightly gather the material on top of my head, to get it to stay up without falling and covering my eyes.

My bra, which was a simple everyday style from No.1 Bra, was visible at the sides when I put my hands on my hip. It would also show at the bottom of the crop top if I were to raise my arms.

The top wasn’t fuller bust-friendly and the skirt was quite sheer, but would be more wearable if I opted for black shapewear knickers.

Lastly, I tried on Shein’s black A-line dress inspired by the fictional character Wednesday Addams.

I ordered the frock in a size XL because I had a gut feeling that it wouldn’t have any stretch and might not fit over my chest.

I teamed it with a pair of black boots and wore my hair in two braids, after looking at photos of the actresses who’ve played Wednesday throughout the years.

Jenna Ortega was great on the recent Netflix series but Christina Ricci in the 1993 movie remains my favorite.

The dress from Shein was plain black rather than having a print, so it’s likely that it was inspired by Lisa Loring’s depiction in the 1960s sitcom.

As the most modest look in the haul, I felt the most comfortable wearing this costume and that it was iconic enough that most people would know who I was supposed to be dressed as.

The material of the outfit was thicker than the previous two, which I loved because I could wear it to a Halloween party without having to bring a coat. 

It also had pockets which would be useful for carrying my phone and purse.

The $31 frock was the most expensive in the haul.

The simple design could easily be recreated with a white shirt worn underneath a black dress that many people already have in their closets.

Overall would I wear any of these looks in public?

Wednesday Addams was the most flattering look in my opinion but it would probably blend into the crowd at a party.

The nurse outfit was the most eye-catching but the length and revealing cut felt like something that should only be worn in private.

So I guess the red hooded look would be the best for a party host looking for something affordable but stylish – but be warned if you're quite busty.
