We see a dress on a Hollywood star. We want one. Then we get one. And…
We’ve all been there. You find an amazing dress on a Hollywood actress and you just MUST have one for yourself for that wedding/party/whatever that’s right around the corner.
You search around online for anything that looks similar and then BAM, you find a great, cheap knock-off. Credit card details entered into the system, you wait for your dress to arrive.
Cue disappointment when it doesn’t quite look how you originally imagined…

Well take comfort in your own disaster stories, because this brave Chinese woman has just shared hers with the world in a tongue-in-cheek example of just how different a dress can look when translating it from Hollywood actress to your everyday woman.
Originally the buyer wanted the below dress, seen here on actress Jaimie Alexander at the premiere of the second Thor movie.
She found a cheaper version on Chinese website Taobao. But as you can see here, it doesn’t quite look the same.
The pink slippers are a brilliant addition.
We salute this woman for her bravery and sense of humour. We’ve all been there.

The dress is so totally horrible, who ever is Jaimie's stylist should be given the boot asap!
No words for that copy....none
Who would even wear that in public? It looks tacky and tasteless, even on a model.
