I paid £20 for a skimpy dress for the summer but when it arrived I think a bin bag would’ve looked better
PURCHASING clothes online can be convenient, but there’s always the risk that the garment might not look quite as expected when it arrives.
And that was the exact scenario Sophie Gingell, from the UK, found herself in when she received a £20 thigh-skimming white summer dress she had ordered on ASOS.
In a short clip shared to TikTok, the amused shopper posted a snap of the figure-hugging garment, which features cut out side details, on the ASOS model.
She penned: “So this is what I ordered….”
Seconds later, Sophie could be seen wearing the unflattering, baggy garment in her dressing room – and it looked completely unrecognisable to the website’s photo.

And it turns out Sophie wasn’t the only one to question the summer dress.
“Looks like the bin bag it is,” joked one, while a second penned: “Can I say I laughed for at least five minutes.”
