Dublin girl left in stitches after online dress delivery ends in disaster

A Dublin girl was left in stitches after the delivery of a dress she ordered online ended in disaster.

Jodie Howard, 18, from Seville Place in the north inner city, posted a video of the ordeal on her Twitter page showing her followers her unfortunate predicament.

Jodie, who is currently studying Health and Fitness in Crumlin College, said she shops online on occasion - however, this is the first time it ever arrived like this.

She said: "I shop online occasionally, this is the first time I've ever received something that was completely different to the photo online.

"It came up as an ad on Instagram and I clicked on to the page and went from there."

The student said she received a 'red flag' when her bank sent her a message concerning the authenticity of the website she was ordering from.

She decided to continue with the purchase and two weeks later the delivery came through.

Jodie explained: "I was excited when it came but was a bit shocked when I seen the size of the package.

"What came out was even worse. I found it quite funny and it was a bit difficult to get on as it was so small.

"My mam and I had a laugh trying to get it on and found it hilarious when I finally got it on as it was completely see through."

One user, @AmyKeegan_17x, said: "OMG exact same thing happened me with a bikini off that website."

Another response from @DunneCara, said: "Like a pop sock Jodie."
