But once you’ve decided what you want and have made your purchase, the excitement is bound to kick in as you wait eagerly for your parcel to arrive.
If your new purchase arrives and looks great, it’s all well and good.
But we’re sure many of you have ordered something that you think you’ll love and then are instantly disappointed when you try it on and it looks nothing like it did on the model.
It’s happened to all of us, but if miraculously it’s never happened to you, count yourself lucky.


One woman took to TikTok to reveal that she was left in stitches after a party dress she ordered from ASOS failed to live up to her expectations.
Not only was the dress not what the fashionista was expecting, but in fact, she thought it made her look ‘like an ostrich’.
Katie Snooks was expecting a glamorous grey, sparkling evening dress that would guarantee to leave people impressed.
But unfortunately for the fashion fan, she felt like she was more ready for the zoo than the catwalk.
In a TikTok clip that has racked up thousands of views, Kate shared the fashion ‘fail’ to her followers.
Kate grinned as she shared a screenshot of what the dress looked like on the website’s model.
The mini dress looks very glamorous and from the picture, appears to be a great fit.
However, when the dress arrived, Kate was left perplexed at what she saw, and was stunned when she tried it on.
We all want an evening dress to turn heads, but for Kate, she realised it would be turning heads for the wrong reasons as she compared herself to looking like an ostrich.
She wrote: “What I ordered… vs what I got.”
Kate then shared several snaps of herself in the mirror with the dress on and it’s safe to say she was not keen.
The blonde leaned back to flaunt the dress as she tried to make light of the anything but ideal situation.


Kate questioned: “Why do I look like an ostrich?”
Unfortunately for Kate, it appears that she’ll be sending this dress back very quickly…
