Student orders dream prom dress online - what she receives really doesn't live up to the advert

Many have reported that clothing bought online doesn't always match up to the advert - but this is really disappointing

The skirt was even more disappointing than the top

There are few occasions in a girl's life where she will really go all-out and get dressed up.
Aside from her wedding day, the obvious other events are milestone birthdays and the increasingly popular school prom night.
One student in the USA purchased what she thought was a beautiful taffeta gown with lace neck and sleeve detailing - a dream dress, really.
But what she received was wildly different and - as one amused Twitter user pointed out - "looks like pieces of a Satan Halloween costume stitched to hairnets."

This is what it was meant to look like

But she took it very well

Juliet Jacoby tweeted a screenshot of the advert for the dress, being sold for $149 on Wanelo.com, a website where individual sellers can set up listings for their own products.

She also posted photos modelling the dress she actually received, which looks like a cheap imitation of what she ordered.
It wasn't very popular with other social media users.
Hopefully she's managed to get her money back, but she appears to have taken it fairly well.
