There is a store on avenue j and 12. Did you try it? Israeli, maybe last year season, lots of stuff so can be overwhelming. I would try junnees fashion island.I think they all have sales now.

I find Elzee in BP has a big enough selection and staff that go out of their way to help you. Once you try on a few things, show them what you have/like and ask them to find you similar items, different sizes.

I strongly disagree about shein.
Yes, a lot of their clothing is poor quality, cheap junk.
BUT a decent percentage is wonderful, and where else can you find beautiful skirts that cover your knee for $12? Nice dresses for $18?

OP, here is what I do.
I order a ton of stuff, knowing that I'll be returning a good 50-70% of it due to poor quality or weird fit.
I order each item in 3 sizes.
I get my humongous order, devote my whole night to trying everything on, putting what I dont want back in the box and clicking on returns, printing the return label (returns are completely free!) And the next day I send it back.
I have many many dresses, skirts and tops that are beautiful and look nice quality, and I got them for pennies.
You just need to have the patience to try lots of things on and send most back.

I actually used to do that. Would spend hundreds, and get lots of nice things. It worked for me, but I'm finding that most of the items don't last very long.
I love Shein but I'm getting sick of all of the holes in my clothes
I guess I'll give it another shot
Thank u everyone!

Junees!
And they now have an outlet website for super cheap but no returns for that.

I did well with Junee this season. Stuff was reduced when I shopped. 50% off mid June.
You can also try Rebecca Modesty, I did a skirt at shein and top there bec shein tops don't work for me.
