Given the fact that there may be hundreds of pleased shoppers who just love what they get, there are thousands more who have regretted that deacons instantly after relieving the package. What’s worse is when you receive the package with great anticipation ready to put it on and take a look in the mirror; you get shocked to find it’s something else. You just turned out a victim of a shopping fail just like these photographs of classic prom night dress shopping fails. Yes, it can be frustrating but admit it, it’s hilarious too.

Ok, one can understand how attractive a bargain is but those bargains would be better off acquiring in a store sale so at least you can inspect and try on the dress. If you get stuff from China, you will definitely get stuff like this.

Well even if it’s a Sherri Hill no doubt, it obviously doesn’t come with a magic wand to turn you into Cinderella once you wear it. Those are models with great figures not that you aren’t a beautiful gal but it may also just be that the model is wearing the bag of a dress clipped up behind her waist at the back. You never know.

As you can see, this is clearly a size fail and it isn’t always the dress to blame. On the other hand, Chinese goods are cheap crap anyway so what can you expect. For you, they may be a steal but for them, it’s you who are the steal as they are stealing you.
