20. Mini Yellow Dress

Original Dress Price: Unknown Original Made by: Unknown Knock-off Purchased at: Online Site Knock-off Purchased for: Unknown Hilary Harrington shared her experience on Facebook, admitting that she “never thought” she’d “fall for” an online shopping “knockoff nightmare.” However, she quickly realized that it can happen to anyone, no matter how savvy a shopper they may be. We've all faced the disappointment of online purchases that didn’t meet our expectations, though whether they were as disastrous as Hilary's experience remains to be seen.


Instead of receiving the stylish yellow dress she had hoped for (complete with pockets!), Hilary was disappointed to find a frumpy, see-through version that featured a neckline so high it could almost serve as a neck brace. Additionally, the color was far dimmer and less vibrant than what had been advertised. This unfortunate experience stands out as a total shopping fail—not due to any error on the buyer’s part, but rather the misleading nature of the product received.
