I ordered my dream tulle dress for prom but what turned up was more of a nightmare – I look like fairy godmother
A STUDENT was mortified after her dream tulle dress made her look like a fairy godmother – and that’s not even the worst of it all.
For the younger generation, almost nothing is as important as their prom – but for one 18-year-old, Julia Stein, from Florida, the US, the big day turned into a nightmare.
Ahead of the celebrations, the trendy student decided to order a princess-style tulle dress she had spotted online.
According to the website, LightInTheBox, the show-stopper of a garment came with an in-built corset, intricate detailing and puff sleeves.
After forking out a fortune – the rich blue dress retailed for almost £200 – the Florida-based student patiently waited for the outfit to arrive.
But when it finally did, Julia was lost for words, completely mortified at the shopping fail.
The dress, though of a similar colour, lacked the ‘wow’ effect and it was significantly shorter than the 18-year-old had expected.
Compared to the snaps online, the piece of clothing also seemed to have less volume and the flowers around the bust area.
Horrified, Julia said: ”Its giving fairy godmother in the WORST WAY [sic].”
However, that wasn’t the worst part of the story – according to the prom attendee, the big event was scheduled for the following day and Julie didn’t have a mall nearby.
Luckily, it seems, the young woman managed to fix the disaster just in time, as she arrived to the ceremony in a gorgeous navy blue dress with sequins.
Since being shared on TikTok, the clip has gone viral, racking up a whopping 4.8million views in just five days.

Over 2k social media users flocked to comments to share their thoughts, with one describing the dress as a shower product.
”it’s giving loofa [sic],” they joked.
Meanwhile, another reckoned Julia belonged in Disney: ”it’s giving cinderella.”
”this is why you don’t order online,” someone else said.
”It’s still cute, but definitely not what you wanted,” a viewer thought.
”Cut the sleeves and make it mini dress,” read a suggestion.
