Upset women have taken to social media to expose online shopping purchases that weren’t no where near what they expected.

A favorite among bargain-hunters sites like eBay are a go-to for shopaholics om a budget but when it comes to buying clothes, things aren’t always as they appear (neither are these threads).

Sharing photos of the items they ordered side-by-side with what actually arrived, the disappointed customers are open highlight the gap between expectation and reality when it comes to virtual style.

Often, guipure lace is replaced with tacky netting, embroidery is swapped for stick-on gems and, in some cases dresses turn up three times smaller than advertised.

Whether it doesn’t fit right, the material isn’t what you expected or it’s simply hideous, these thrifty women are keen to teach you a lesson that they learned the hard way. Be careful if the price is unbelieveable for that particular dress just spend the extra coins and get it here in the states. Watch out for reviews , no reviews with actually pictures…no purchase is my rule!
