SHE decided to do a Shein haul to try and find a perfect Christmas party dress.

And it seems Hayley achieved that goal, thanks to a gorgeous green velvet number that looked incredible on her curves.

This houndstooth number was too short for her nearly 6ft frame, and too tight

While she said the dress might look better with shapewear, it was still too short

"I'm fat and ordered from Shein Curve, let's try everything on," she began her video.

"First up we have this adorable green velvet dress. I thought this would be perfect for a Christmas party, with a red lip.

"Mmm, so good."

Once she had the dress on, Hayley said she thought it looked "adorable".

"Some people are going to say I need to wear shapewear with this dress but I really don't care, I think it looks really cute without it," she grinned.

"I love this little flounce detail, and the bows.

"Super cute, super Christmassy."

The next dress was a cute houndstooth number but was "way too tight and short" on Hayley.

"For reference I am almost 6ft. It has some stretch but it just doesn't look great right here," she said, indicating her stomach area.

"Maybe if I had some shapewear on it would look a little better but again it's just way too short for me so this is a fail."

Her last dress was a burnt orange number, which looked like "absolutely nothing" when she held it up.

But it did come with a belt, and when Hayley tried it on she liked certain aspects of it, like the side split and the colour which is perfect for autumn.

Lastly, she tried on a pale green lounge set, which she said was "so cute".

"The hood's a little big but I still really like it," she smiled.

People were quick to comment on Hayley's video, with many praising the green dress.

"The green dress is a MOMENT," one said.

As another added: "I LOVE Shein because it's the only place I can find cute clothes my size.

"Girl the green dress."

"Love them all but the green is sensational on you," a third wrote.

While someone else commented: "That green dress was made for you."

She also tried on this burnt orange dress, which was nothing until she added the belt to give it more shape
