Ellie Marie, 17, posted a TikTok video revealing what she actually got from the online retailer.

The TikTok displays the product page for a sparkly, flouncy, mesh purple dress, £21.99 ($23), as advertised by Shein. 

The dress is fitted and cut above the knee, with no patterns and sheer matching sleeves.

The reviews for the dress signal no red flags, as many other shoppers left positive testimonials.

The TikTok video, however, revealed that Ellie received a product completely different from what everyone else had gotten.

Hers looked to be made with cheap material and wasn’t sparkly – but it did have a floral pattern.

It was longer than the one pictured online, though the sleeves were shorter and the neckline was a different shape.

Most importantly, the dress looked nothing like what she had ordered.

“Oh god, I think they gave you a completely different product,” said one commenter.

“Always look at the reviews,” advised another commenter, despite the dress’ plentiful five-star reviews.
