Scots woman left in stitches after buying £90 'once in a lifetime' dress online

A Scots woman was left in stitches when the £90 'once in a lifetime' dress online arrived at her door.

Rachel Brown spotted the sparkling gown on a Facebook advert and had clicked through to see how much it would cost.

Pictured on a stunning model, the outfit featured a long-sleeved dazzling beaded top with a cascading skirt of feathers on one side, reports Edinburgh Live.

Although not in desperate need of the dress, Rachel said was tempted by the unique design and bought it believing that she 'would find somewhere to wear it'.

With the price originally coming up in dollars, the garment had been reduced in price, and was advertised to cost around £90.

Rachel grabbed the chance to buy it but feared it may be a scam after entering her PayPal details.

After contacting PayPal, she was given a refund and had never expected the dress would turn up.

But Rachel was left stunned Monday when the 'real dress' arrived.

She said: "When I ordered it, I don't know what it was but I had a sinking feeling the minute I ordered it that something wasn't right.

"I saw the dress and thought it was just one in a lifetime, and I was sure something would come up to wear it to.

"I started to search the site and there was loads of complaints about them, so I raised a ticket with PayPal immediately, and they gave me a refund for it."

Opening up the package, Rachel quickly realised it was not the dress she had envisioned wearing.

The cheap silver creation only fitted Rachel in the top, while the skirt would not even go past her hips.

"I didn't think it would arrive and then it did and it looks absolutely nothing like the picture, it's just been moulting those feather things all over my hall so there's more on the floor than there is on the dress now.

"It doesn't even cover everything, it's an awful version of it, but I posted it on Facebook and it's had hundreds of likes, so it's nice to see it's given so many people a laugh," she added.
