Woman, 22, horrified after finding rusty needle poking out of her PrettyLittleThing dress
Chelsey Halls, 22, from Felixstowe in Suffolk, claims it was so corroded she would have needed a vaccination if it had scratched her
A WOMAN has sworn off buying clothes from PrettyLittleThing after discovering a large rusty needle poking out of the dress.
Chelsey Halls, 22, made the horrifying discovery in a black faux leather dress, which she had ordered last minute from the online retailer for New Year’s Eve.
She claims the needle was so corroded she would have needed a tetanus shot if it had scratched her.
Chelsey, from Felixstowe in Suffolk, explained: “I was really shocked when I found it. It nearly poked into my hand while I was un-wrapping the dress.
“I touched it thinking it was part of the dress at first.”
Chelsey said she had torn open the package as she was in a rush to get ready for her big night out.
“I opened it quickly and I almost caught my hand on it, it was quite sharp,” she recalled.
She discovered the sharp object while checking the chain attached to the dress.
“If it wasn’t for me taking extra care because of the chain on the dress I would have probably not noticed it and potentially hurt myself,” she said.
“It was very rusty. I would have needed a tetanus shot.”
Chelsey says she was forced to tweet PrettyLittleThing to complain because their website wasn’t working at the time.
“I was so irritated that it was so difficult for me to bring this to the attention of PLT,” she said.
“I definitely won’t be using them for a while.”
PrettyLittleThing has offered Chelsey a full refund and a courier to collect the dress and the needle from her.
The popular fashion retailer has come under fire recently for the quality of its clothing.
