Let me tell you about a local woman who thought she’d be getting a stunning, custom-made maxi dress when she placed her order with a nearby designer. She saw the designer's work on social media and was excited about the prospect of owning something unique. But instead of walking away with a masterpiece, she ended up with a fashion nightmare that left her completely frustrated. This wasn’t just any mishap—it turned into a viral sensation on TikTok.
This woman, who goes by @roseylace205 on TikTok, decided to share her experience with the world, and it didn’t take long for her video to go viral. Thousands of views, likes, and comments flooded in as people expressed their disbelief at the outcome of her order. It seems like she wasn’t the only one who had a bad experience with this particular designer.
What She Ordered vs. What She Got
The TikTok video kicks off by showing us exactly what this woman expected: a chic, elegant lime green maxi dress. Then, it cuts to the reality—an oversized, unfinished white gown that looks nothing like the original design. In the caption, she explains that she waited a full two months to receive this lackluster result, enduring countless back-and-forth conversations with the designer throughout the process.

It gets worse. The first dress she received wasn’t even wearable, so she sent it back, hoping for a better version. Unfortunately, the second attempt wasn’t much of an improvement. It’s no surprise that she decided to share her experience with her followers, and they were quick to react.
