Stunned student nurse claims an ‘oversized’ ASOS dress left her looking like ‘one of Jesus’s 12 disciples’
A STUNNED student nurse claims an “awful over-sized” ASOS evening dress left her looking like “one of Jesus's 12 disciples”.
Abigail Ross bought the extreme kimono sleeve midi dress in a size 14 to wear for her 21st birthday next month.
The 20-year-old was stunned when she slipped the dress over her head on Monday to find it looked nothing like it did on the website's model.
Instead, Abigail claims the over-sized gown and its droopy arms left her looking like 'one of the 12 disciples'.
A hilarious snap shows Abigail sheepishly smiling at the camera with her arms outstretched as the sleeves of the pale pistachio gown dangle down to her waistline, swamping her 5ft 2' frame.
After dissolving into fits of laughter, Abigail shared the religious-inspired look with pals on her WhatsApp group chat who likened the £110 gown to something Jesus or his apostles would wear.
Abigail, from Whitehaven, Cumbria, said: “One of my friends mentioned that I looked like Jesus, then I realised, because of the drapes, I actually looked like one of the 12 disciples.
“I’d ordered a few dresses as it’s going to be my 21st in April. I panic ordered that one because the others didn’t look nice and then it came and it looked like a tablecloth.
“When I took it out of the bag, I thought maybe it was a dress that looked better on than off.”
She said when she put the dress on she thought they had sent her the wrong size as it looked huge.
Abigail added: “It looked like I’d ordered it 10 sizes too big - it’s a 14 but looked like a 22.
“I realised it looked awful and then when I went to show my mam we both just burst out laughing.
“I felt ridiculous when I put it on, I thought I looked like I'd lost loads of weight and my mam said that the sleeves looked like loose skin.”
Abigail, who snapped up the dress for £77 after taking advantage of an online discount, has returned the dress and is waiting for a refund from the retailer.
Abigail said: "I’ve seen the funny side to it now - it's not put me off online shopping."
ASOS was approached for comment.
