We all know that ordering clothes online can be a gamble, especially when we're not entirely sure if the garment we've ordered will actually look the way it does in the modelled photos.
But one woman has been left mortified after she bought a dress from SHEIN that she thought would be a cute black number - but was instead left with what looked like a see-through cape.
Kaitlyn Moore took to TikTok to share her fashion fail and posted a picture of the dress as it appeared on the website, which was a black slip dress with a sheer black polka dot layer on top and a belt that tied it all together at the waist.
Excited to try the look on herself, Kaitlyn hastily ordered the item - but realised her mistake when it finally arrived.

The woman, who posts under the username @sassandcellulite, had tragically misread the information on the website, as the garment she'd ordered was actually just the sheer outer layer without a black slip or belt.
Posing in a bikini with the see-through fabric on over the top, Kaitlyn captioned her clip: "Shein strikes again."
In the comments, Kaitlyn later explained she thought the dress was supposed to come with the other garments modelled on the website but had misread the information on the site telling her it was only the sheer layer.
She added: "I thought it came with the little underslip but apparently not!"
Commenters were split by the women's video, as some said they were a fan of the see-through look and thought the item she'd bought was exactly the same as the one on the website.
One person said: "It looks like you got what you ordered."
While another added: "I mean it’s literally the same you just need the slip dress and the belt."
And a third said: "You did get what you ordered. It looks how I would have expected it to look on you. Actually, I think it's nice on you. Personally, it wouldn't have been a colour I would have chosen myself but I think it looks nice on you."
But others admitted they would have made the same blunder as Kaitlyn if they had been shopping on SHEIN's site themselves, as the photo did seem to be misleading.
Someone wrote: "I too would think it'd come with a belt and the black dress underneath, to be fair."
As someone else posted: "I definitely would have thought at least the slip was included."
