Shopping And Faking: I Ordered 3 Outfits From A Store I Saw On FB, And The Result Almost Made Me Cry

You used different lighting and your stuff is wrinkled.

The first two actually look decent, maybe the way you were standing didn't let us get a proper view of the clothes? The second one actually looked fine, you just needed to iron the sleeves and fix the collar.

Wow, if you buy clothes online and then have a weird stance, are barefoot, don't wear any makeup or do your hair, it's gonna look bad. Guys I'm shocked...

Of course if you put them on when they are not ironed and look like rags it does not make them look good

you should have iron them for the before picture too, it looks like all the before pictures are just thrown on after you took them out of the packaging.

If you want to see some impressive restyling, look up the BP article from a few months ago, where the lady bought thrift store clothes and restyled them. Now that's talent. Her name is sarahtyau and she has a website. Worth checking out.

Whoa what?! If you do your laundry and make a minimal effort to accessorize you mean you can make cheap clothes look good!? What a stupid post.

OK. I've said this before, but I'll say it again. These are ripoffs of fashion designs as made by cheap-a*s Chinese companies. The tipoff? For one thing, the fact that they always cut the models' faces out of the photos. They use s****y fabrics and underpaid workers in sweatshop conditions, and people around the world continue to fall for their scams. How to avoid them? Do a quick Google search on any company you are considering buying something from and the truth will come out.

I don't see much difference between the shop photos and the actual photos. Colours are always enhanced with lightning or are shown in their most favourable looking pic. I don't see the purpose of this post

Look i think you're exaggerating, those 3 clothes look just fine it just need ironing imho.

Let me guess - you bought these on a site like 'Wish' for $20 or something close to it. You expected high quality fabrics and cuts for next to nothing. 99% of these sites steal pictures from elsewhere, make their own patterns, and use the cheapest fabrics - not to mention the cheapest labor. With clothes, you get what you pay for. If you want nice clothes, pay what they are worth.

What is wrong with her feet/shoes in look 2 after styling? I spent a good couple of minutes staring saying "huh? what? huh?" -is she wearing baggy jeans under a maxi length dress? -is she wearing weird boots? -WTH? Her feet remind me of the Goat things hooves in Pans Labyrinth

Amazing what hiding most of the garment under a huge cardi can do eh?

I actually liked her take on all 3 better than how they originally appeared on their "website" (I never trust websites advertised on FB). Good for her!

Can't comment on materials from pics obviously but the first 2 look like same dressing gowns on her that they look on models - something you'd wear at home after taking a bath. Suppose if she really wants to wear them in public all those accessories and stuff work, but to me they be don't even look like they were ever made for that. That lady dress just looks weird on her and on model(albeit in different ways). *shrugs*

Infuriated by some of the comments here, claiming, she just posed badly in the first pictures to make the clothes look bad.... the quality of the advertised outfits versus the actual pieces are worlds apart: 1st outfit: peach coloured tie-up dress in crepe de chine - delivered in a pig pink polyester 2nd outfit: cotton smock in red linen with ethnic embroidery and wool tassels and fringes - delivered was a printed satin smock with polyester trimmings 3rd outfit: trumpet arm top in heavy satin and a high waist skirt in cotton with woven (!) ethnic pattern - delivered thin satin top and a shirt made from cheaply printed satin in the same quality as the top. This was false advertising to the max and yet she managed to pull it around and make those sad pieces look great! source: I work in luxury fashion for the last 15 years, specialised in surface design, weaving and printing

The take away from this is, whatever you buy, cover it up with a big coat.

Everyone else has great opinions on this, I'd just like to add that it also seems like she got exactly what she paid for with her own shape & body type/size. You can't look at a stick thin size 0 and expect to look exactly the same in the same style of clothing when you're a hippy size 10.

Just add some fur and you'll look stunning, you fools! (First outfit) nothing better than a dead animal to hide your poor choice in internet shopping >:(

Item 1. The picture looks like it is done up with some sort of windsor knot or something (which I imagine would gather in more of the cord creating a better silhouette?), she's just done it in a bow like a dressing gown

honestly, those dresses were hideous on the website pictures already XD however. ironing and wearing suitable underwear/shapewear is a suggestion everyone should follow all the time - it really makes a big deal of difference! i can see she tried her best in styling those dresses but... poor fabric and poor finishing can be only concealed in pictures. i bet she can't actually wear them for "events" - i'm sure i would not!

If they sent you the wrong one the first time, why did you keep ordering from them???

you wore makeup in first pic and didn't in the second pic.....pretty obvious when you're purposely making the first pic look bad in comparison

baggy jeans under the tunic??

First one too big even after adjusting - you can see that it is folded. Second one is to be worn over bikini or as dressing gown. Third one is too small over hips and you can't hide it even with a coat.

I only order from verified sites that also have retail stores so I know the quality of the things I'm buying.

she's amazing at restyling. If I were her I'd buy all the cheapest crappiest pieces and just magic *** restyle* them beatiful

Love that last outfit with black coat and boots.

You guys clearly have NO IDEA that the models used in the photos for the online stores have on haute' couture. Do you know what that means? It means that the fabric was cut, draped, pinned on to the model...then measured, then cut again and sewn so that it perfectly fits the model! You clearly cannot blame her 'stance' or her 'pose' or how she intentionally or unintentionally did this or that! You hating commenters with such obvious low self esteem, who wish to put down anyone who looks nice are such cutthroat b*tches! You can't stand it that she made a bad clothing purchase into a glamorous clothing purchase! You cannot wrap your head around the fact that she made the best of the situation! You should all be ashamed of yourselves!

She has beautiful taste! The before and after pix are amazing!
