Bride-to-be tries on budget wedding dresses from the Internet to see what they really look like – and one leaves her VERY exposed
AS much as we love our online shopping hauls, our wedding dress is probably the one thing we can't ever see ourselves impulse buying from the ASOS sale section.
However, one fashion YouTuber has ordered a series of budget wedding dresses from fast fashion app Wish to see if she could find a gown under £25 for her big day.

Australian influencer Tina Yong has only recently started looking at gowns and kickstarted the process by ordering six totally different styles online.
In the YouTube video , Tina told her 2.8m subscribers: "I don't know what style I want exactly yet but I thought it would be fun to jump on the trend and buy cheap wedding dresses online to see what they're like."
And in true Sex and the City movie fashion, the internet star also requested two of her mates and her fiance to score each style.
Tina's first dress was a lace maxi dress with a netted overlay which cost just £12.

Although the low-cut dress appeared to be cream in the picture, Tina was disappointed by just how yellow it was in real life.
She added: "I got a size medium, but it's a bit big. I wish there was some padding, as clearly there's none.
"It's just very loose. If I had it cinched in, it could look somewhat decent."
Not exactly a rave review.

The second dress Tina bought was a £10 peach maxi dress with a voluminous tulle skirt.
After noticing how much glitter the dress was shedding, the fashion blogger said: "It does look quite cheap... but then again, it cost $17.99 [£10]."
The bridal gown also featured a ruffled collar and silver sequin belt which the influencer noted "doesn't look exactly like the photo" and disliked the "clown sleeves".
Tina's third wedding dress was nothing short of a disaster as the ivory lace gown arrived completely SEE THROUGH.

Admittedly one of the sexier designs Tina wanted to try, she commented: "Is it is sheer on the model but I actually assumed there would be some sort of nude layer to wear underneath."
Hilariously named the Women Fashion Sexy Suspender Dress Mesh Openwork Perspective Princess Dress, it will come as no surprise that this was the cheapest dress Tina tried and cost only £5.
Unsurprisingly, the influencer was quick to take it out of the running and said: "If my mum saw me wearing this down the aisle, she would be mortified.
"This is VERY X-rated and looking nothing like what it looks like in the photo. I might as well be naked walking down the aisle."
No wonder one of her friends gave it a lowly MINUS five out of 10.

And just when Tina's wedding dress experiment couldn't get any worse, the next dress she tried was actually missing a shoulder.
The fitted lace gown was supposed to feature two off-shoulder straps to support the bodice - but turned up with one missing.
Tina said: "I would understand if this was the one shouldered style but clearly in the photo of a product that I've bought she had two off-the shoulder lace [straps]. This is like a whole new design."
And to make matters even more confusing, the poorly fitted dress was actually the top rated out of the six she ordered - getting an average of 4.6 stars out of 5.
After those two disasters, it's no wonder Tina opted for two more classic bridal options for her final two dresses.

The first of which cost only £23 but featured a fuller tulle skirt which instantly made it feel the "best quality".
She noted: "I think out of all the ones I got, this one is the most legit wedding dress. The lace detail is actually sewn on.
"This one was the most expensive. While I don't think I'd wear something like this and I'd probably go more fitted, it feels most like a wedding dress."

The last gown Tina tried had a more prom-like feel thanks to its sweetheart neckline.
Despite the structured bodice, the influencer was disappointed to find that the £20 dress wasn't long enough to cover the enormous petticoat underneath.
She mused: "I wish it was a bit longer and it fit..."
But while Tina wasn't a fan of the "dense" design, her friends and fiance argued she could make it work with a little alteration.
