As if the prom night itself wasn't stressful enough, there are many things that girls have to figure out before attending it: makeup, hairstyle, shoes, accessories and the most important - the prom dress.

These days it is really popular to shop for this last ingredient online. You can pretty much find whatever you want, you don't need to leave your house to find it, and somebody will even deliver it to your door! Cheap shopping literally couldn't be any more convenient. Unless you decide to buy your prom dress online, that is. Because what looks good on the internet doesn't always look good in real life! Some of these unlucky prom-goers managed to save their epic fails of dresses by mending them; others opted out for Plan B - throwing the ordered dress to trash. Take this list of funny fails as a cautionary tale.

From mermaid style dresses turned to blobfish, laces looking like grandma's doilies and a dress that turns you into a character from Handmaid's Tale, this compilation of online shopping disasters is truly hilarious.

    Simple solution - cut out the bra pods, wear a skin-tone bra and the dress is fine. Oh, and also stand straight, helps a lot.

    Well, it's definitely a disappointment, compared to what you were promised and payed for, but it doesn't actually look that terrible.

    Wait, what? Did they send it in pieces? Even if put together, it won't match the picture.

    To be fair, this looks like the wrong size. Perhaps simple as that. Perhaps it would look good if it wasn't too big.

    Way cheaper materials that don't drape correctly. No amount of "fixing" can make up for cheap materials

    It looks OK, you should iron it and try it on, it looks OK, really.

    I wish she showed it on her. Because just the dress you can see it’s a cheaper skirt but I can’t tell just how off the top is with it hanging.

    This one's pretty similar. It's certainly closer to the original than any of the others.

    how can you say that? the print is different, the color of the lower part is way off and it has way less material than the original. Everything that made the original dress special is missing from the thing this girl got. It's like comparing the drawing of a rose made by an artist with one made by a 5 years old. They are both roses and have kind of the same shape and color but they are not the same...

    No, not the right style for you. Until you understand your body type, always try on first. Took me years, still try first, every time.

    Again. Why do you think you will look exactly like a photoshoped model?

    Beautiful dress - looks like people are disillusioned about body type and their actual measurements.
