In her , Loves showed off a few different dresses from the that were ready to make an appearance in her Spring wardrobe.
"They have added so many new styles, so many different products to their Shein Fit Plus line," she said excitedly.
The curvy, red-haired beauty was quick to discuss her body type with her followers.
"I do carry weight in my upper arms, we all know that," she said.
When it came to trying on a purple gingham ruffle hem dress, the YouTuber immediately adored the patterned material, and whimsical style of the dress.
However, she was hit with one unfortunate sizing problem, when she tried it on.
Holding up the sleeves, she said: "These were almost painful, I am not going to lie. This was just digging into my arm."
She said it was especially surprising because most elastic bands offer stretch that allows for a range of sizes.

"It's odd because it's just a little elastic band, but that's as far as it will stretch," she explained, while pulling at the band.
"Love the material, the fabric is so nice. I love the color-blocking and I love the gingham with the white and the purple but these sleeves just honestly ruined it for me," she concluded.
In the comments section, many people expressed the same disappointment over the ill-fitting purple and white dress.
"A real shame about the purple dress, it looked so pretty on you, could you get the sleeves altered, somehow?" one person asked.
One of her subscribers did offer a potential solution for making the dress more comfortable.
"With the purple gingham dress, you can cut into the elastic band that is inside the sleeves to loosen the elastic. Just cut the elastic a few times and the sleeve won't be as tight," one person suggested.
Whether or not Loves makes the small design tweak, she will certainly have a variety of other lovely outfits to choose from.
