Ok, maybe I'm tired and grouchy, but I'm a nutshell:

Woman buys cheap dress, it doesn't fit, and so her 'confidence is knocked '????? Seriously?

Are people that desperate to be a victim now that they expect every cheap, tacky thing to fit their bodies^^ otherwise they get triggered?

Sometimes I despair at the world!

She can't be that traumatised as she's managed to show a photograph of it to the whole world.

She's just another wannabe hoping for free publicity?

It is a pointless article, but rage .... seems as over the top as a reaction as the reaction the article is about in the first place.

MaggieAndHopey · 22/02/2019 15:13

the eyebrows! and her husband's eyebrows!

the eyebrows! and on the husband too!

MaggieAndHopey · 22/02/2019 15:14

whoops, sorry - I had to draw everyone's attention to the eyebrow situation and the first post didn't look like it worked!

MaggieAndHopey · 22/02/2019 15:15

why does everyone on instagram hold their hair when they do a selfie?

Nesssie · 22/02/2019 15:15

Such an overreaction. I buy plenty of things online that don't fit.

I love these ‘I bought this £1.99 kardasian-alike dress and it looked crap’ so-called news items. They have me in stitches.

LoudBatPerson · 22/02/2019 15:17

Sorry about the double posting, my first one didn't show either!

Good point well made! It's not actual rage, I just find people like the woman in the article ridiculous and hope no one sees her as a role model.

The eyebrows are the real story here.

YABU for linking to the Fail!

TeaforTwoBiscuitOrThree · 22/02/2019 15:27

does she have spiders as lashes?

WhoGivesADamnForAFlakeyBandit · 22/02/2019 15:54

Why didn't they draw matching eyebrows on the baby? It must be feeling left out Grin

slashlover · 22/02/2019 16:55

Most Tall clothes are for 5'8 and above, she bought a regular size. On the website picture the back of the dress goes to mid calf/just above the ankle, on her it goes to the back of her knees. Also, surely the rule is that you were pants when trying on clothes, they should take the refund back from her because of that.

Can someone C&P the eyebrows so I don't have to click? Grin TIA

I am pretty sure no one will, not after that article Grin

StoneofDestiny · 22/02/2019 17:11

It's the head tilt - not just the eyebrows! Why bring the fact you don't suit a dress to the worlds attention while parading around in your smalls? Desperate.

There are many other pics of her and her eyebrows but inly this one with husband with matching brows.

SeeYouLaterUserData · 22/02/2019 17:19

Brows! Brows! Nobrows!

ILoveMaxiBondi · 22/02/2019 17:21

Why did she take the photo with no knickers on? Confused

Also, she’s 5’8”! Of course that split is going to be higher on her than the tiny model! The bottom of the dress is almost at the models ankles and it’s above the knee on this woman. Common sense will tell her why the split is higher!

ILoveMaxiBondi · 22/02/2019 17:27

Oops! slashlover got there first! Grin

MashedSpud · 22/02/2019 17:28

The husbands matching brows made me giggle.
