A woman had an unfortunate fashion blunder when a tiger print dress from PrettyLittleThing ended up making her look like Fred Flintsone.
26-year-old Avril Wood, from Northwich, Cheshire, bought the printed satin midi dress for £8 when her boyfriend offered to take her out for dinner over the weekend.
She says the size 8 cowl dress hung off her ‘like a tent’ or a ‘handkerchief’.
She said: ‘I didn’t have anything like this in my wardrobe so thought it would be great to add.
‘But as soon as it arrived I was shocked, and immediately knew it wasn’t going to fit me – but I didn’t realise it would be this bad!
‘When I tried it on I couldn’t stop laughing, it was as big as a tent and made me look like Thumbelina if she wore a handkerchief.
‘After I tried it on I immediately packaged it back up and returned it to them.’
For obvious reasons, Avril didn’t wear the dress out for the meal.
She continued: ‘As soon as I saw it I was laughing so much, I even called my mum into the room to look at how ridiculous it was.
‘The dress was huge and absolutely drowned me, but part of the reason I tried it on was because I knew how funny it would look.
‘I even tried to tie a belt around the dress like the model did, but it didn’t make a difference.
‘Anyone who’s seen it has had a good laugh – my boyfriend even said I looked like a Flintstone.
‘Even though this isn’t the first time I’ve had a fail from PrettyLittleThing, I know I’ll never learn and continue to order from them.’
