Prom night is such a significant occasion. Prom is a dance party for students in high school!
Girls spend a lot of time fantasizing about and then planning their days.
Aside from who her date will be, the most important factor is what she will wear. The days of being limited to what was sold in brick and mortar stores are long gone. The world is now your catalog, and your options are virtually limitless. However, those alternatives may come at an unexpected cost.
You can critique brick-and-mortar stores all you want, but at least we can see what weโre spending our money on. We can inspect the quality and even try something on and have it fitted.
Here are 28 people who were stunned โ not in a good way, but more like theyโd been cheated, when they received their dresses.


1. Get your money back
Clearly, that isnโt the gown you requested. Not at all. Iโm curious about how the rear looks. Is it heart-shaped as it should be, or does it also have a rounded shape?

2. Hmmm
We donโt get to see what the original dress looked like in this scene. What youโre seeing is the difference between the dress that arrived and the outfit that she altered. To be honest, I donโt think the dress she bought is all that horrible. Itโs a pretty standard LBD. Perhaps she wasnโt going for a classic look.

3. Horrible
Why are all these gowns so long? Even though she may be barefoot, that is still far too long. Of course, it isnโt the major issue with this garment.

4. Not flattering
Clothing that looks good on boxy figures is difficult to come by. If you want to wear this style, you must have a waist. This appears to be a horrible job, and I donโt believe the seamstress is entirely to blame.

5. Something is missing
From the top to the thigh, the original features some exquisite needlework. The knockoff isnโt a bad-looking dress, but itโs nothing like the original. Especially since thereโs so much tulle from the waist down.

6. What is sparkling?
The original has been embellished in various ways. Take a look at those stunning silver or diamond cufflinks. But thatโs all there is to it. Whatโs wrong with the knock-off material? Is that a soiled mirror? Regardless, the cuffs, as well as the fabric, are incorrect.

7. Not even close
Her back appears to have a large tongue. Iโm not sure, but that sheer fabric doesnโt appear to be very sheer to me. It appears to be a brown-colored fabric.

8. Upsetting
Thatโs not even a nightgown for me. How could anyone ship a dress like that? This is unacceptable!

9. So bad
With the beading over the bust, the original is stunning. The woman on the right appears to be wearing a gigantic disco ball. There are two huge disco balls!

10. Hard to tell
Which is the worst? Because, in my opinion, they are both quite unsightly. At the very least, the mannequinโs dress fits her better.

11. Not quite there
This dress is acceptable from the waist down. Itโs acceptable. Itโs way too big and just hangs off the bodice. What about the bra inserts? Theyโre just a joke, after all.

12. The color is right
Did she place an order for sleeves? Because Iโm aware of the presence of sleeves. Is it true that she sent in her measurements? Because itโs as spherical as a paper bag. Is she going to be able to walk? So many inquiries.

13. Yep, stunned!
Iโm sure these places have a no-return policy, too. You give your money to a website run by folks on the other side of the globe with shaky English language comprehension, and in return, youโll get garbage. Because this is just nonsense.

14. Not hideous
Far too large, but not unattractive. The bottom flounce too is incorrect. Whatโs the good news? She could eat a large supper without worrying about her garment burstingโpun intended.

15. Itโs hard not knowing
If I order an off-the-shoulder dress, I should have an off-shoulder. Did this woman specifically request this as part of her order? We donโt have any idea. Regardless, the dress is overly huge, despite the wonderful workmanship.

16. How?
Let me start by saying that I sew. Iโve been sewing for most of my life. Iโm not sure how you were able to do what you did to this outfit. You canโt do this without being aware of whatโs going on.

17. Call an ambulance
To begin with, her garment appears to be strangling her. Second, was the underskirt added as a result of the slit being too high? Or was it by design and request? Itโs not a terrible copy, but itโs still a failure.

18. Wellโฆ
Part of the issue, I believe, is that she is too short in the waist for this outfit. Or something like that. The outfit is well-made, sadly, it does not flatter her figure. This is the type of problem that can be remedied by pinning in modifications while the dress is on.

19. A for effort?
Perhaps. Yet, this still receives an F for a failing grade. While the main pattern is comparable, the dress is much too large, and the fabric is cheap and tacky.

Twitter/mogantalley
20. Thatโs it?
Itโs fitting! In certain ways, yes. But thatโs where the good news ends. The bodice is a jumble, and the beadwork isnโt even close to matching.

21. Nothing alike
Theyโre both blue, after all. These dresses, on the other hand, do not resemble each other at all. And then thereโs the waistband. What was the source of that?

22. What happened?
I have no idea whatโs going on here. This appears to be a tiny dress as well as a bolt of cloth. Was she meant to complete it on her own?

23. Her eyes!
Donโt you think the insane, devil eyes pretty much sum up her feelings about this dress? This bodice, on the other hand, is well-fitting and does not need bra inserts!

24. Hahaha
Thatโs the first time Iโve ever seen a slit-like that. Everything is beautiful and circular. It only serves to highlight the dressโs flaws.

25. Blurry
Well, the hazy photo doesnโt make things any better. But, I believe she could get away with it if that garment was taken apart and re-fitted. Or perhaps not.

26. Another A for effort
It appears to be far too long, but perhaps she intends to wear sky-high heels. While the fit isnโt great, itโs not the worst weโve seen. This is a lesson!

27. First, why?
Why would you go to prom in a virtually see-through dress? Then you have a problem with it being see-through? And, of course, itโs too huge. Which is probably a good thing in this scenario.

28. Stunning!
That is, stunningly horrible. And the socks arenโt helping matters. It doesnโt help that it just hangs on her. Is it just me, or does it appear that there is some excess cloth bunched up above her butt?
