The fact that she is, as we speak, dancing with Jamie after the wedding is just so sweet
I remember a video of Bernadette Banner where she found a picture of her very elaborately home made dress (with HER in it) on wish. So she ordered it, and it was basically a kid's drawing in 3D of her dress, just like some of these dresses. I'm 95% sure the manufacturers on wish take pictures off the internet and try "make" whatever is in the picture as quickly and cheaply as possible.
I just posed about this exact video! Clearly you have exquisite taste noble Fennec!
Bernadette is too adorable!
Can someone link the video for me?

I loved how you were trying so hard to say good things about the dresses.
“The dress is actually white.”
“It tried to look like the photo.”
And my favorite: “It does have sleeves.”
Also, the photos you had on Insta of the henna on your hands were amazing!
The sleeves line was also my favorite. 😂 Like she was going to give an adjective, but it just turned into... sleeves.
@@silvermoon2281 right?!
“It smells nice.”
@@juniper617 that was a good one too!
I have to admit these Wish try on videos are a guilty pleasure. Good thing Shaaba got some that were not sub zero in quality.
Edit typos
Some of these dresses looked so cheap, i could feel the plastic. That said, Shaaba you make all these dresses look so pretty despite their weirdness, WHY ARE YOU SO PRETTY!?!?
It would be devastatingly unfair, were she not also incredibly kind, and generous of spirit!
Ah yes. Shaaba can even make wish dresses look OK.
I legit love #3 if you had it tailored to fit you, and honestly, the bod is SLAMMIN 💗
Which I think is what a bride on a budget could do… go bigger, tailor to fit, and make a decent dress into a custom dress.
That said, I got married in a $19.98 sundress off the clearance rack. (Kicked the ass of my sister whose $25 white lace knee length dress had been the cheapo standard in our family!)
Me too. If only it wasn't from Wish :(
Anyway I love your family tradition, why have an expensive one-time dress when you can not? xD
Although if I ever get married, I think I'll wear sth I already have or sth I can wear for other occasions.
In Denmark, the public healthcare center was out warning people of buying anything from WISH.
In the EU we have very strict regulations meaning that certain chemicals are not allowed in toys, plastic items, clothes etc, and when you buy from wish or other sites like it, it cannot be regulated like it would be if you bought it though a online store or physical store within the EU. A lot of people had bought clothes and toys from wish as it was so cheap, but the ministry for healthcare do not recommend buying anything that at any point comes in contact with your body, as we saw an incredible spike in rashes and medical problems caused by wearing clothes that had very bad chemicals in them, or babies needing to see doctors because the toys they chewed on was filled with cheap chemicals.
I have bought some small stupid stuff on wish, everything was decoration and its fine, but i don't hear people talk about buying stuff off wish like they did when it became popular the first time around, so it probably died out rather quickly..
Be careful with the clothes you shop, i don't mind cheap if that's what the budget is for, just don't go get a horrible allergic reaction because its from a sketchy cheep site :(
3rd dress is okay cute, but it shows how different quality/feeling you can get on wish haha
Honestly, I have bought some clothes of of it, and you have to wash it first, just like any other clothing you buy at any other shop..
As for toys, and cosmetics. Yeah I don't go there. Also because the cosmetics never list their ingredients..
I wish my government cared for their citizens that much. Greetings from Poland, I never heard of anything like that in here xD I am actually curious how it is for things sold in the UK as now they're out of EU.
@@JankoWalski-hz3lu I think buying stuff from the UK is just like buying it from USA or Canada, taxes can get big when it enters Denmark, but if you are prepared and know the laws it should be fine! I personally think that I can find *most* things within the EU borders, so i tend to not buy anything from UK, USA or the like, but I'm not holding back if its something only they have haha!
The government in Denmark have only talked about the taxes that can be put on things, and traveling where you can get taxed too vs before. I don't think UK has more of these chemicals now that they are out, my feeling is that we all both within and outside EU are aware of the very toxic chemicals that some cheap manufacturing firms use!
Btw, thank fucking god that Poland has some awesome firms! Bought my hobby paints, and organizers from a polish company, and I'm getting my partner a gamer chair from Secret Lab. Very glad we have these lovely companies within EU :D
@@SlothDaan Oh yea, always wash before use! Unfortunately it not always enough, the clothing industry is resorting to use harmful plastics and other materials that has been treated in lots of chemicals, just to make even cheaper clothes. I'm glad we have some laws but unfortunately some of it still gets in and sold, with the result of people getting rashes or allergic reactions to it :(
Toys and cosmetics are so dangerous to buy from a place where you cant guarantee whats in it, it can be so so harmful its scary!
Glad you watch out for yourself :)
Some of the dresses were actually a lot better than expected, specifically the last two.This was an interesting video idea!
You could actually wear the third dress (if tailored) and the forth one was ok. The first two were exactly what I’d expect from wish.
Congratulations on your wedding. I’m very happy for you and Jamie. I hope your day was everything you wanted.
Me, an American, temporarily forgetting that pound is a monetary system and not a unit of weight: "I hope a dress would be under 30 pounds"
OMG! I thought the same thing! I was like “wow, she has a weight limit.”
🤣🤣🤣 imagines bride desperately trying to crawl down aisle, weighed down by masses of fabric...
Having just watched Shaaba's mehndi dress video, maybe not...
Budget suggestion for flowers: Get fake flowers and do them yourself. In the US, you can get cheap ones at the dollar store or nicer ones at craft shops like Michael's or Joann's. You can redo them over and over until you're happy with them, they're cheaper than real flowers, AND you get to keep your bouquets and centerpieces forever!
Dress 3 actually looked really good on you! Your midriff looked gorgeously hourglassy ⌛️ and the neckline was pretty too. I think if someone could work with the sleeves to keep them up, the whole thing could be a viable wedding dress 👰 on a budget.
I bought a $300 bridal dress from Torrid because it was pretty and some days I need to dress like a princess to fight depression. The fit is amazing! The fabric is comfortable! I also liked supporting a plus size brand dipping their toe into affordable bridal for plus size brides. It's online only so you can't have that bridal salon experience before you buy it, but that is also pretty triggering for a lot of people, being able to try in a controlled environment can help.
Hot tip for anyone looking for a wedding dress on a budget: thrift stores. Especially try ones in or near where the rich people live. I was at one one day that had like 3 wedding dresses and a few prom dresses, all good quality and in great condition. I even tried one on that fit like a glove, looked amazing on me, and was only $50. I had no plans of getting married but it was just fun to do so of course I didn't buy it.
To add into this, I live in a college town, and at the Goodwill's in my area there are usually wedding dresses for sale.
Glad you were so honest about the dresses. 😅 And now maybe we can all agree that one better never orders anything from Wish.
When I got married I went to a discount boutique. I got the trial dress they use to fit the bride. So it had wear and tear. But it was beautiful. It was $3000 marked down to $600. It cost another $600 to get it cleaned and had to be sent to special cleaners (my mother paid for that). But I loved it! And there was no way I could afford it's original ticket price.
The two other options for spending less on a wedding dress that occurred to me are either looking at resale shops because sometimes there are ones in very good condition there for much less money. Or you don't have to get married in a white dress. I know that that's important to some people, and if it is then great. But also you can get married in any color you want
I know someone who did order a dress on a similar webpage. They did some modifications, but ended up being a cheap and nice dress. The dress was later redone to be a dress for their childrens baptism 😄 loads of use out of it!
Staaaaap! I have just watched both of you on Jamie's channel and I may end up dangerously dehydrated from all of the emotions. I hope you both have the best day! You deserve it. And look after you - wedding fatigue is a real thing!
My husband and I had wedding fatigue during our wedding. Our pictures prove it! Thank God the event staff made everything run smoothly because I don't think our brains could have handled it. 😬
That's why I won't have a wedding party. It's too much for just one day. I don't understand why people do it to themselves. You can get married just with the witnesses and have a big party (if you want it) another day xD
I actually bought my dress on Wish. I think you need to go up a bit in price with Wish. Get the $30/$40+ dress, not the $10/$15 dress. The dress that I bought wasn't exactly the same as the picture, but I got luckily and liked the dress that I received more than the pictured dress.
these dresses actually exceeded my expectations, except for the first one. but that's because, having used wish in the past, my expectations were incredibly low.
As a bride who bought her dress from Aliexpress, I can only say: research is key. I paid a lot more (around €200), but got a dress that was tailored to my size. Comparing many many photo reviews with advertised pictures from many different sellers gave me the confidence to order the dress with the seller I ended up with.
My dress was gorgeous, and the quality was up there with regular dress shops.
Oh and fun fact: it was a huge ballgown, but got delivered in a tiny package too. It was rock solid though, because the dress was so compressed 😅
You describing the itchy first dress gave me flash backs to the horable itchy clothing mom tried to get me to wear when I was a kid.
i appreciate that you added thorough context and caveats to the video--not just to cover your ass/bases, but to actually inform people and offer alternatives! that's meaningful and shows how much you care.
and also i'm really impressed w the last dress of the four! what a happy relief that it was as advertised (apart from the color).
happy wedding ^_^
I appreciate that too, although I still don't understand. If you buy sth for that cheap and expect the materials to be of good quality, what do you think the workers are paid for this? I guess that brown spot could be blood of a distracted very tired worker in their 15th hour of work :(
Anyway, I guess that colours may be different bc of lighting (I didn't catch that differences - it all looked like white or off-white) and for some of the dresses they just "forgot" to mention that you should be wearing a petticoat underneath.
From personal experience as a seamstress, a single yard of beaded lace runs for at least $150US.
All wish does is steal people’s photos of beautiful expensive work & then have a seamstress in a factory make the cheapest facsimile, while still using the stolen photos to advertise.
The last dress is cute on you. I suggest you dye it with dye for synthetic fabric. Wear that frock!
I love how kindly Shaba speaks about all of the dresses. She’s really thoughtful about how some people have this as their only option and doesn’t make fun of it at all xxx
i feel like i cant properly judge some of these dresses because shaaba just always looks gorgeous
She really is so beautiful
Yeah I'm always kicking myself watching Shaaba effortlessly look so good. Shaaba!!!! *shakes fist*
The last two were actually a lot better than expected!
Just a heads up for people considering byuing your wedding dress or clothing on that matter is that besides the stolen photos and being a cheap knock offs made from that photo, these clothes are not made from regulated materials and can be harmful, there are numder of chemicals and dyes that are not considered safe to use on contant on skin and these fast fashion cheap knock offs have been noted to include them, and no they cannot be washed out of the clothing since it is in the material itself. I would instead recommend shopping second hand bridal dresses or even reputable normal fashion brands in your area for white dresses that could be used as wedding dress
My youngest aunt got married in a gorgeous purple and gold dress, not a hint of white to be seen, and it saved her a *lot* of money lol. Plus, that lends itself well to being worn for other occasions down the line.
That third dress, that works. It is too big, but I am sure that someone could do some modifications to make it fit properly. I really like it! I could have had that as a wedding dress!
Unfortunately, a lot of these types of websites will make fake accounts to leave five-star reviews on their own products. I prefer to look at 3 star reviews to actually get an idea of what the product is really like
I’ve stayed away from this video because I really (really) don’t want to support companies like Wish in any way - but you’ve lifted many of those concerns in the video, which I appreciate.
But I honestly have laughed more during this video than I expected! 😂
About the whole “if you squint it looks like the photo”… I think it’s more like “if you squint it looks like a wedding dress”.
1st dress - I think you'd have to do so much to it (add an underlayer to the top and an overskirt for starters) to make it nice, that you might as well make one from scratch.
2nd dress - would be ok as a summer dress, but I wouldn't personally choose it for a wedding.
3rd/4th dresses - either of these could be an ok option for the right bride on a budget.
I agree with you though that it's such a lottery to find out which ones are ok (and none of them really matched their pictures), so it's not really worth it. Could you do a reverse image search to see if those photos appear on reputable wedding dress sites, i.e. have the images been stolen?
Personally, I'm considering altering my mum's wedding dress (with her permission) for my hypothetical future wedding. My boyfriend and I have both said that we would want to keep costs low and that we'd rather spend our money on the deposit for a house first.
Dress 3 was actually really cute. Imagine how pretty it would be if it was made with love and good materials.
Edit: okey the last one was quite amazing for a wish-dress! It would make a nice prom dress.
Having gotten a sample wedding dress from china that smelled like fish, I can say that, yes, smell should be part of your criteria for ordering from wish.
If you want the Kellgren-Fozard look, I recommend buying a "vintage" dress and Petticoat from Top Vintage. Quite cheep (like 60 euro per dress) and you actually get the dress you ordered. And there are some wedding dresses on there.
I got my wedding dress from a Chinese Etsy shop for a few hundred US dollars. So much cheaper than what you find in my area, and they did custom measurements. I got so many compliments on it!
That 3rd one is actually really nice if it was fitted properly
I have to say. The reviews on wish have had to be consistently 4 or more stars for me to order before, I have ordered well rated things like a shirt and had decided to get two because of the price. They came in two different fabrics, same color but they looked different but the pattern was the same, one was more stiff and scratchy and one was soft and stretchy, ive also ordered things that didn't come for many months and the replacement item they ship comes faster and is different than the original but both eventually arrived, they don't care about consistency or quality and consider the losses of these things as minimal because they have so so many items and listings of the "same" items. I don't shop on wish anymore at all, the experiments I did were plenty for me to learn my lesson lol.
I think that with this video, we’re all Shaaba’s Squad going Wedding Shopping.
ok, the third & fourth ones are pretty cute!
We went for a wedding of roughly 2000€. I'd recommend to
- go rural (venues etc. can be cheaper)
- buy clothing etc. secondhand
- get contributions as gifts (This obviously requires the right friends/family. My mom made the cake; she's a professional. We had hobby-photographers be our photographers. So not having to spend money on those two obviously cut down the cost tremendously.)
- keep the guest list to the essential people/very most important family and friends
- DIY as much as possible (decor for example)
- let bridesmaids wear whatever they want / out of their own closet
- take jewelry/accessories that you already own (family heirlooms; borrow from family; a nice gift...)
The one thing I would not cheap out on (apart from the rings... :D), if you do not have a friend or sister who wants to do it) is a wedding planner/day of coordinator! It takes so much stress off your shoulders as brides and grooms (and whatever the NB equivalent is) to have somebody who is in the know and in charge and whom people can go to about anything, so that you, the couple can enjoy the day!
Hard to go wrong with Jessica Kellgren-Fozard vibes!
I can see you wearing the last dress for a different occasion. But the third dress was really flattering on you. If the top was tailored correctly you would make a gorgeous boho bride. I can’t wait to see the real dress though.
I’m from Australia and I get stuff from Wish all the time. Yes, most of the stuff are cheap nock off’s. But I have never had trouble getting refunds for things that were not at least passable.
Sites like Wish make me so angry. What a waste of fabric, skill, time, money… why bother making shit like the first one that clearly isn’t going to be good for anyone’s wedding, knowing it’s going to end up in the bin? I mean, obviously money, but this kind of business model of copying real designs or making products in the cheapest possible way is such a sad symbol of fast fashion 😢 brides on a budget would be better off getting a second hand dress off eBay or Facebook
i think a lot of people just. dont know how clothes are actually constructed or what fabrics are high quality, and what you would want on wedding dress
I feel like if you’re on a budget you’ll have more success finding a second hand dress and having it altered
Buying clothes from places like wish is always a gamble because of the sizing too. They tend to come up very small.
Hi and congratulations to you and Jamie on your wedding day!
I love these wedding dress videos! I actually got my wedding dress and a lacy cape/detachable train thingy from wish and loved it... no it was nothing like the pics on the website but it looked great on the day and I was happy with it... I got lucky...
Congrats on your special day! 💜 This was a fun Shaaba look at Wish and the low expectations everyone should have with their products so thank you for that. Mostly, us Shaaba peaches are simply waiting for the video of you in your wedding dress! 😘🥰
That second dress? Yes, you WERE so scarred from the first one that you deemed that one acceptable. It reallyreally isn't ^^
You are so right about the feeling of kid's drawing of supposed-to-be something or other.
It's a good idia to look into the matirials listed for the dress . If you see stuff like 100% cotton you know it's a fake . Also people posting pictures are pretty accurate
Numbers 2 and 3 look like they could be converted into a decent white skirts... Numer 4 looks like an inexpensive but decent bridesmaids dress.
The third one looked legit beautiful on you and would make a really nice wedding dress with some alterations! The last one is just not to my taste but definitely looked the best quality and matched the ad the best. And it looked cute on you!
The first two… horrendous 😂
Dress #4 looks really good quality. It's pretty.
The third and fourth dresses are pretty cute, and this is definitely better than what I expected
Dress 3 in other colours would actually be a passable pretty formal dress or even a high school formal/prom dress.
You could reuse some of these dresses in your rehearsal or bridal showers!!!! Or a bridal gown game- modify the dresses and pick a winner....lol
This could be an interesting sewing project. To buy one of these dresses and renovate it into being actually good. My sewing skills are nonexistent but I'd love to see someone else try it.
that last dress was a lot better than i expected- i would wear it
Holy moly, those first two dresses are hilariously terrible! 😅 They are saved by the person wearing them being lovely no matter what. Hope your wedding day is as wonderful as you and Jamie are. Congrats! ☺️
Hoping it still is their policy, wish had it in the past (pre20202) that if it isn't the correct dress/color/item that you contact customer support and they would refund the items and shipping. Buy you do look amazing even in the first dress :)
I was honestly pleasantly surprised that 2 of the dresses looked wearable, and one of them was even basically as advertised! I get being disappointed with the color, but that's something I could see not even being on wish but just different lighting and color calibration issues.
In high school I ordered a dress online from a shady website that a friend recommended (this was before wish was commonly known/used), not knowing that it was basically all bootleg ripoffs of real designs. I got a horrible, unwearable, itchy, wrong-color dress in a vaguely similar shape to the photos. Decided then and there that I would never order any clothes online unless I was familiar with the company running the website and knew they were selling their own designs.
Everytime shaaba says "hey peaches" It makes my day and it makes me so happy :)
I loved the last dress on you!! There's something about short wedding dresses that I love because I find them so unique and those sleeves...perfect. I thought it looked very pretty and you rocked it well
Dress 2: I noticed that one sleeve has the pattern 90° off from the other and now that's all I can think about. 🤔
Though some of the dresses looked okay, I would never buy a wedding dress from Wish. In my opinion, the absolute best way for spending very little money on a dress is buying a preloved one from private (often even new ones because the bride decided to buy a different dress!). You can take it home immediately, it's MUCH better quality than a cheap new dress and it's best for our planet. Of course, a lot of people try to sell their preloved dresses for way too much money, but with a bit of luck, you can make a real bargain. For example, on a German platform I saw a silk dress for 45 € - new price around 700 €. Sadly, 2 sizes too small for me or it would have been my dress :D I saw lots of other wedding dresses for about 100 € or less. Less than 20 € might be a bit tricky but possible if you don't want a ballgown (and at least, a simpler preloved dress for the same money would most likely look much better that a cheap fancier one).
The ethereal goddess dress (dress 3) was my favourite, definitely what I’d go for if I ever get married
On the 2nd dress I'd cut the overlay to equal the liner and wear with flat silver sandals
Very impressed with that 3rd one!
The second dress, with some tweaking, could be passable. But, depends on how much effort and what the material actually is.
The third one seems surprising for a wish dress. And I love the sleeves
Actually the last one is kinda cute too, though I'm not entirely sure I can tell the intent of the back
The back of the fourth one was a corset back with a modesty panel. It should’ve been pulled down so the top was even all the way across.
I am so excited and happy for you and Jammi! Y’all deserve the whole world! Congrats again!
Huge congrats! I hope your special day is going perfect ❤️
Thrift stores! Lots of prom and wedding dresses at thrift stores :)
Hope you and Jamie are having a fab day :)
I knew this young woman from Etsy. She makes these awesome long sweaters with big cowled necks and big hoods and long awesome sleeves. Almost like a short dress.
Wish actually stole her pictures from Etsy and uses them for a cheap and crapp version. She can't do anything about it. We both tried too. It's sad.
Wish is so cheap and really not worth it. They don't let you return anything most of the time because it's expensive to return it. More than the product is worth.
Cut those pearl buttons off the first one and either make something with them or give them to a friend who does jewelry. That seems like the only way you'll get any use out of it.
Wish is good for specific things , i buy things like dnd dice and crochet/craft stuff but I have never brought anything big enough to leave me thinking there were any problems, I generally don't spend more than £20 including shipping in any purchases on the site. I'll also buy pride badges and stickers and stuff from there But yeah I am super interested in seeing how much these turn out ♡
P.s Congratulations on your wedding day (it's 7.30pm so wedding evening?) Mrs Shaaba ♡
Jamie's nipple tassel comment made me laugh so much ♡♡
I mean for wedding dresses for wedding days I'd say nooope to most of these dresses but for a cheap Halloween costume wedding dress like zombie bride it would a decent option.
Also dress 3 , if it fitted properly, is actually a really nice one ♡
Dress 4 /the last dress, not as a wedding dress but in general is really lovely, if you dyed it a different colour, maybe red or black , it would make a super cute evening dress on you shaaba ♡
Edit - tips for anyone shopping on wish, look for items with reviews that have photos attached :) sometimes even if it's not exactly the same as the original posting which can happen , I mean this video just proves that lol, it may still match what your looking for.
But yeah for me wish is good for small crafty stuff but I wouldn't buy anything important from them ♡♡
The last dress really surprised me, i was expecting a train wreck lmao
Going immediately from the Husband and Wife video to this xD
Love this. So the last two I might wear but probably not. Thanks for sharing.
Always tought those are awsome bases for unique dresses
It's absolutely like the uncanny valley of dresses
The second dress reminds me of my first sewing project which required a dress pattern. Not great but not a complete fail. Still doesn't make it any good.
The last dress could be dyed a fun color
That 3rd one looks quite nice on you.
Dress 3 and 4 were just barely decent. It would be fun to see what cheaper high street shop dresses you think would make nice wedding dresses
congratulations on tbe wedding!! 💕💕
the last dress looked good indeed, and u r right if they put the actual photos on the site it'd be fair hhh. new to this channel and i like ur vibe💕
9:43 honestly, a solid nighty, provided it isn't itchy
14:15 a dress this time 👗
Ok, so I do not condone Wish Hauls, but also I'm soo down for weddingdress content!
A gentle criticism? Acknowledging that wish is contributing to fast fashion and is literally infamous for it's "children's rendering of a real product" aesthetic.. why not try this challenge with something like thread up, Poshmark or depop(not sure if you have all of those in the UK, but something similar I'm sure) there is a MASSIVE amount of formal wear in the reselling market since it's very nature is a one off/seldom worn thing. And with that you can see the exact item you're buying, no guess work.. and it puts at least a little bit of money back in the pockets of real people.. and yes.. you could absolutely still stay in your price range to do it..
I don't feel pain. That is the reaction you want when trying on a wedding dresss. 😂
Wishing you and Jamie a very happy married life 😊❤️🎉🥳
Super congratulations to you and Jamie! So happy for you both. You're both so adorable and deserve every happiness 💕💕💕
I feel like that second dress might actually be redeemable. A good creative seamstress, new lining and straps, and some hemming, it could be cute.
The trick with Wish is to look at the review pictures
"This is actually not terrible, maybe I'm being too nice"
I feel like making cuts in the top layer of that second dress might maybe give it some of the flair effect the photo had??
