FASHION FLOP I tried to copy Molly-Mae's sister's cute holiday outfit, but what arrived from PLT was mortifying
ORDERING your wardrobe online is always a risky business as you never quite know what you're going to end up with.
And now one fashionista has proven why you might be better off trying on clothes in-store rather than trying your luck online.

PLT's Sage Puffball Chiffon Spaghetti Strap Cami

Zoe Rae, 28, shared a series of images on her Instagram of her holiday trip, one of which showed her wearing a gorgeous summery outfit.
The fitness influencer chose a white mini skirt teamed with a flowy sage top, green kitten heels and a white clutch bag.
The combination was a major hit with Zoe's followers, earning over 96k likes.
Replying to Zoe's Instagram carousel, someone asked: "Omg where is green top from!!! Obsessed."
Zoe commented: "It's my friends, but I think it was quite old from PLT so cute!!"
Luckily for Zoe's fans, the fast-fashion giant still sells the top - also known as the Puffball Chiffon Spaghetti Strap Cami on its website.
It comes in three colourways: sage green, white and black, and is currently on sale at £8.75 instead of £22.
The product description for the top reads: "The sage puffball chiffon spaghetti strap cami is the wardrobe addition you need this season.
"Tailored from pale green chiffon, this top has an exaggerated puffball design with thin spaghetti straps.
"For a finish that will turn heads wherever you go, style this cami with white tailored trousers, chunky gold bangles, classic flat sandals and your favourite earrings."

TikTokker @Trufflebirch, aka Char bought the top, but when she tried it on, she looked nothing like Zoe or the PLT model.
While Zoe's top looked chic and graceful, the PLT version resembled a cloud and even had a shower puff look to it.
Uploading a mirror selfie of the epic flop, Char joked in the caption: ''When you get Zoe Rae from Wish. Can you cope, why is it like that?''
The online marketplace Wish, known for its cut-price items, often surprises customers with their products that don't quite match the advertisement photo - and reflect the cheap price point.
The hilarious clip has taken the internet by storm, winning the fashionista more than a whopping 330k likes in a few days.

As more than 7,000 people gave it a like, others flooded to comments.
Amongst them were those who suggested to replace the top with a smaller size to avoid the mega puffy look.
A fellow PLT fan said: ''Hahahahah omg girllll!!! If it helps I'm normally a size 10 and had to get a size 6 in this, it comes up HUGE.''
