THIS midsize TikToker with big boobs has figured out a hack for Shein clothes that don’t fit after suffering from a few try-on fails.

Victoria Bustamente Garred who goes by @v.busta.g on TikTok had high expectations before she showed off a black bodysuit from Shein in a video.
“I was like, this year I’m gonna buy a bodysuit.
“So Imma get all these bodysuits, wear them with skirts, wear them with shorts,” Victoria said.
The TikToker then showed off the bodysuit.
While this bodysuit might work on some woman, Victoria’s big boobs were popping out and her bra was showing.
“I can’t wear this out,” she said.
Victoria then showed herself trying to push the bodysuit up to cover her bra, but she was unsuccessful.
“I mean it looks cute. I can wear it to my living room. That’s about it.”

She added: “I ain’t wearing that to church.”
Luckily, Victoria has a trick for getting rid of the clothes she doesn’t like from Shein while also not losing too much money.
She explained that she buys a lot from Shein and when she doesn’t like something, she just sells it on Facebook Marketplace.
However, people in the comment section don’t see why she wouldn’t keep the bodysuit saying it looked “amazing” on her.
One person wrote: “Ok not church but girl that looks fire on you.”
“Don’t see anything wrong with it, looks amazing,” another person said.
A third commented said: “Keep it for sure.”
Another busty TikToker shared her own Shein haul, which The U.S. Sun shared.
Some pieces were cute for a night out on the town but one item was a big no-go.
Viewers thought she looked good in the bodysuit, even if her boobs were spilling out[/caption]
I’m plus-size – I ‘always’ struggle to find items that fit by body and it’s not just about clothes
PLUS-SIZE Americans overwhelmingly say they “always” struggle to find items that fit their body, and it’s not just about clothes.
According to a new poll of 1,000 people 250lbs and over and 1,000 people under 250lbs, 52 percent struggle to find clothing, mattresses (40 percent), and bathtubs or shower enclosures (38 percent) that fit their body types.
In fact, about two-thirds (67 percent) find themselves struggling frequently with finding items that fit their body size needs.
This was especially true for those 350lbs and over, as 41 percent admit they “always” struggle, compared to only 23 percent of those under 250lbs.
Despite the frequency, almost three-quarters (74 percent) of all respondents find themselves feeling frustrated when they are searching for an item that accommodates their needs.
Conducted by OnePoll on behalf of Big Fig Mattress, the survey asked respondents how they go about their everyday lives despite challenges they may face because of their body type.

Results found that seven in 10 respondents feel less confident when they struggle with finding items that fit their size needs.
When asked about other emotions respondents experience, those 250lbs and over are more likely to feel set apart from others, citing “embarrassed” (59 percent) and isolated (53 percent).
While those who are under 250lbs tend to lean towards “disappointed” (51 percent).
Even so, those 250lbs and up were more optimistic than those under (35 percent vs 23 percent).

The average respondent has crossed off about five brands or retailers because they don’t carry products that meet their physical needs.
However, for those who are 250lbs and over, 72 percent have eliminated between three and eight stores.
Almost one in five (18 percent) of those under 250lbs cited that all stores carry their size, compared to only 2 percent of those who are 250lbs and up.
“This survey makes it clear that the ‘all’ part of ‘one size fits all’ couldn’t be further from the truth,” said Jeff Brown, president, Big Fig Mattress.
“Almost two in five respondents haven’t found something that they felt was made for them.
“Everybody and every body deserves a long-lasting and comfortable mattress to support a good night’s sleep, regardless of your size.”
Products made for all body types are an issue no matter what the product, with respondents needing to stand on furniture to reach something (46 percent) or finding that clothing is either way too long or too short (46 percent).
And ill-fitting items aren’t just an inconvenience, 61 percent of respondents say that clothing, vehicles (59 percent) and mattresses (50 percent) that aren’t made for their body type have a big impact on their quality of life.
More than half of those 250lbs and over (53 percent) believe their life is more difficult than for someone who is considered “normal sized.”
But that doesn’t mean respondents are only dwelling on the negative — almost half (44 percent) frequently make light of their struggles.
When asked how they do so, respondents outlined things like, “I speak to myself. I’m beautiful and special. I’m impeccable,” and “Remind myself that if this is the biggest problem I have, then I am doing just fine in life.”
The survey also asked about relationship status and how respondents are navigating integrating their lifestyles with another uniquely sized person.
Seventy-four percent of all respondents are in a relationship and living with their significant other.
Almost half (45 percent) are mixed-size couples, meaning they have a noticeable difference in body size or type.
Because of this, couples face challenges like finding a place to live that accommodates both people (40 percent), struggling to share a mattress comfortably (40 percent) and having items that one person uses but the other never would such as step stools (34 percent).
In the end, more than two-thirds (68 percent) of all respondents agree that it’s difficult to navigate a one size fits all world when people have varying body types.
“We believe and support being body positive, in body acceptance, and in making positive life choices,” noted Brown.

“Bigger figured people deserve the same level of quality products and choices as everyone else.
“It’s important to accept that all bodies are different and require more from product manufacturers, and I think the data makes that clear.”
I work at Hooters – I have a secret hack to adapt the tight uniform and you can use it on your clothes too
A HOOTERS employee has revealed her secret hack to stay comfortable in her tight uniform.

The slits are cut on top of the tights[/caption]
“[During] a really long shift, your tights get super tight,” she said.
“They really cut into you, your stomach hurts, and I’m already not feeling good.”
Then, she takes scissors and cuts the random slits on top of her tights, which she wears under her shorts.
“I take scissors and you just kind of cut, but you don’t want to cut all the way because then like your tights are going to rip, and then it’s kind of pointless,” she said.

Then, she covered her shirt and pulled up her shorts to cover the slits.
“I want a Hooters uniform just so I could see if I would fit,” one commenter joked.
Others noted they used the hack to feel more comfortable in their everyday lives.
“I used to this when I had to wear tights for my school uniform or ballet tights too,” one said.

“This is so useful tbh,” said another.
Fennelly is a law student who works at hooters on the side, making content for her $171,000 followers about her work.
The U.S Sun has previously reported on another TikToker, Vanessa Richter who detailed the obscure sizing of the chain’s uniforms, as well as their strict rules.
“Our sizings are not like true to the standard size,” Richeter said.
“ So, for example, I wear a medium, but I’m an extra small in Hooters’s sizing.
“It’s just a little bit different because of the material that we use.”
Ritcher then talked about the wages.
She said: “For your wage you do get server minimum wage, you don’t get entertainer or whatever. It’s not like the $8.25 an hour.
“Server minimum wage is lower, but it’s all dependent on your state.”
Ritcher added the chain has “new hair and nail policies.”
“So like, your nails can all be one color, they don’t have to be natural color anymore,” she said.
“And you can wear your hair up now, but it still has to be styled or like nice.”
Ritcher also confirmed in the comments section of her video that small tattoos on the wrist, ankle, back of the neck, etc, are okay – but larger tattoos do have to be covered.
I’m a bargain hunter – I save hundreds on clothes by following a personal stylist’s golden dollar-per-wear rule
SPLURGING for more expensive outfits will save you hundreds on clothes, according to a personal stylist’s golden dollar-per-wear rule.
Kylie Nelson, a bargain hunter on TikTok shared a piece of fashion advice that a personal stylist that she will “never forget.”
This bargain hunter invests in more expensive pieces, so that she gets more wears out of her clothes[/caption]
She said that you will end up spending more on clothes if you have to keep buying cheaper pieces because they will keep getting worn down[/caption]
She started off the video by saying that she acknowledges “that all of us have different price points and budgets for clothing.”
However, if you have the money to spend, Nelson suggests shopping “intentionally for investment pieces.”
“For every dollar you spend on your clothes is the amount of wears you should get out of that item,” the personal stylist told her.
Nelson said: “If you spend $85 on, for example, on a bodysuit then you should get 85 wears from that piece of clothing.”
“If you buy a $5 bodysuit or say a $10 bodysuit you’re only gonna get five to 10 wears and realistically you’re probably gonna get a hole in it way quicker than the $85 one.”
She said once she heard this reasoning, “I now look at buying clothes so differently.”
“If you do have the budget to spend $10 on a bodysuit compared to $85, I will guarantee you that you will get so much more usage.”
Nelson added: “I bet you’re gonna have that bodysuit for a couple of years rather than only maybe only a couple of months compared to the $10 bodysuit.”

“If you’re having to get a $10 bodysuit every month because the quality is so low-quality then that’s 120 bucks right there that you’re spending in a year,” she explained.
A commenter pointed out a flaw of retailers that doesn’t always make this advice true.
“I wish cost actually equated to quality tho. I have basics that I bought from Forever 21 that have outlasted items I bought from A+F & Madewell,” she said.
Another commenter suggested taking better care of your cheaper clothes to make them last longer.
She said: “I’ve had items that I’ve purchased for less than $10 that have lasted me about 10 years, it is all about taking care of item as listed on care tag.”
Other commenters backed up the Nelson’s advice.
“So true my leather jacket was one of my best investments I’ve worn it double what I’ve paid for it,” one user wrote.
Another person said: “That is such good advice! People always complain about spending money on jeans, but we wear them so much!”

Search for sites like By Rotation that offers you the chance to rent designer clothes for a fraction of the price – ideal if you only need the item for one occasion but can’t see yourself wearing it regularly.
No matter what online retailer you choose, make sure you are using the search bar wisely.
For example, avoid using words like ‘and’, ‘or’ and ‘the’, plus extra punctuation such as the hyphen in ’t-shirt’
Try making a small list of words with similar meanings – you never know what a seller will describe an item as.
For example, if you were searching for an Armani mini dress for a party, try searching for ‘Armani party gown’ as well.
