A STUDENT was mortified after her dream tulle dress made her look like a fairy godmother – and that's not even the worst of it all.
For the younger generation, almost nothing is as important as their prom – but for one 18-year-old, Julia Stein, from Florida, the US, the big day turned into a nightmare.
Ahead of the celebrations, the trendy student decided to order a princess-style tulle dress she had spotted online.
According to the website, LightInTheBox, the show-stopper of a garment came with an in-built corset, intricate detailing and puff sleeves.
After forking out a fortune – the rich blue dress retailed for almost £200 – the Florida-based student patiently waited for the outfit to arrive.
But when it finally did, Julia was lost for words, completely mortified at the shopping fail.

The dress, though of a similar colour, lacked the 'wow' effect and it was significantly shorter than the 18-year-old had expected.
Compared to the snaps online, the piece of clothing also seemed to have less volume and the flowers around the bust area.
Horrified, Julia said: ''Its giving fairy godmother in the WORST WAY [sic].''
However, that wasn't the worst part of the story – according to the prom attendee, the big event was scheduled for the following day and Julie didn't have a mall nearby.
