91. Printed Short and Tee Set

Original Dress Price: Unknown

Knock-off Purchased at: eBay.com
Knock-off Purchased for: $9.99*
For all intents and purposes, this outfit looks like it’s cute, well-made, and would keep you cool in the summer. What more do you want from a shorts and t-shirt set? The model wearing it looks great, so surely that’s what arrived, right?

If you’ve got this far, you know the answer is a big fat no. This eBay purchase turned out to be a huge dud, leaving the buyer with nothing but a funny photo and a diminished bank balance. eBay is great for all kinds of things, but you may want to think twice before you hit “buy now.”

92. Champion Sweatshirt

Original Dress Price: $30*
Original Made by: Champion
Knock-off Purchased at: eBay
Knock-off Purchased for: $15*
Just like buying dresses, buying sweatshirts can be a minefield, too. This buyer thought they wre getting a great Champion sweater that would be the basis of many outfits to come. What they got was a burgundy Hanes sweater with a glued-on Champion logo.

Even though not everyone would notice this knock-off, it’s still not worth the thread it’s printed on. Believe it or not, millions of fakes are sold everyday and there isn’t a single thing we can do about it, besides being aware.

93. Matching Sneakers

Buying clothes online is one thing, but buying sneakers online has to be safer, right? After all, how badly wrong can it go? Unfortunately for one customer, it turned out to be pretty bad. Unwearable, in fact.

Matching Sneakers @buzzfeed/Pinterest
These Nikes are only fit for people with two left feet, which make up a very small percentage of the population. Let’s hope the buyer ran all the way back to the seller and demanded their money back – or at the very least, got a wearable, comfy pair.

94. Princess Leia

Original Dress Price: N/A
Original Made by: George Lucas
Knock-off Purchased at: Unknown
Knock-off Purchased for: $29.99*
There was a time when Princess Leia was one of the most talked-about characters in history. In fact, she still remains an iconic part of the Star Wars legacy. Every single year, people buy costumes to dress up as Leia for halloween and other fancy dress occasions.

Some costumes turn out great, while others might be less than desirable. It doesn’t matter if they have the real Star Wars logo on and cost $29.99. They can still look like something Chewy chewed up and spat out. Han Solo isn’t down for this.

95. Cream Gown

Original Dress Price: $200+*
Original Made by: Unknown
Knock-off Purchased at: eBay
Knock-off Purchased for: $45*
Anyone looking for a bargain knows that there are plenty of websites out there offering things at a discounted price. Knowing which ones to trust can be a minefield. Even reputable sites like eBay have sham sellers that will take your money and expect you to be grateful for what you receive.

This buyer learned that the har dway when she purchased a stunning peach party dress that was sure to turn heads. What she got was a bedazzled, frayed mess that even Tinkerbell wouldn’t be caught dead in.

96. Yellow Blazer

Blazers are wonderful things that can make an outfit look smart with minimal effort. That’s if they’re well-made and sturdy. When you order one online, you’ve got to be careful. It’s a minefield. This buyer ended up looking like Paddington’s problematic cousin.

Yellow Blazer @kueezofficial/Pinterest
Nothing about this blazer is tailored, chic, or worth more than $5. In fact, dogs could probably use it as a blanket when they felt like it, but that’s where the functionality dies. It just goes to show that even menswear isn’t safe from online debauchery.

97. Small Red Skirt

Original Dress Price: $20*

Knock-off Purchased at: AliExpress
Knock-off Purchased for: $4.99*
Little skater skirts can look cute and edgy, making them the perfect addition to any wardrobe. Tons of different companies sell these types of skirts, from Asos to Topshop and everything in between. That doesn’t stop bargain hunters trying their luck on sites like AliExpress, though.

Beware, if you make a purchase on a site like this, you might end up with a skirt that’s only fit for one thigh. Unless that’s the type of style you’re going for, it’s best to avoid it altogether and spend a little bit more money on the real deal.

98. Plaid Dress

Plaid dresses can be a great outfit to throw on for everyday wear. They go perfectly with flats or boots, and can even be dressed up. That being said, it’s not hard to see why someone would want to purchase one of these, especially if it was at a discounted price.

Plaid Dress @sophia971922/Pinterest
What this buyer probably didn’t realize was that they weren’t purchasing a dress at all, but a shirt. Even if the shirt is nice, it doesn’t really matter. It’s not a dress, and it certainly doesn’t cover everything you would expect a dress to cover!

99. Doggy Coat

Original Dress Price: $15*

Knock-off Purchased at: eBay
Knock-off Purchased for: $4.99*
Have you ever bought something online and selected a “large” size, only for it to arrive and be tinier than a Barbie dress? If you haven’t, then you’re one of the lucky ones. Those of us that have know just how frustrating it can be.

This poor doggy owner thought they were getting a decent size coat for Fido, when in reality it was more of a pint-sized cape. Sizing is one of the trickiest things when it comes to buying things online, so always check the measurements – and take them with a pinch of salt!

100. Sheer Lace Wedding Dress

Original Dress Price: $500+*

Knock-off Purchased at: Weddinggown,net
Knock-off Purchased for: Unknown
Even if this one isn’t the kind of dress that you would personally buy, we can all agree that it looks stunning on the model. It’s hardly surprising that brides to be would try and get it at a much cheaper price…but this is what happens when you try to cut corners.

The makers of this knock-off haven’t even attempted to make it look anything like the real thing, leaving the buyer red-faced and completely in shock. No one wants to wear this on their special day – or on any other day for that matter!

101. Padded Sequin Dress

On Facebook, Brides Beware warned about the dangers of choosing cheap knockoff dresses from “Chinese sites,” as these dresses are cheap for a reason. When you’re picking your wedding gown, it’s best to go to local retailers and get fitted.

Padded Sequin Dress @Brides Beware/Facebook
Make a day of it! If you choose to take a shortcut and buy a discount dress off a knockoff site, this could easily be your fate. On the left-hand side, the model looks stunning. On the right, the dress does not do this bride any justice. The cheap sequins and the two bust pads both scream, “Don’t Wear.”

102. White Lace Wedding Dress Strikes Again

Original Dress Price: Unknown

Knock-off Purchased at: Chinese Website
Knock-off Purchased for: Unknown
Knockoff companies are slick—they often steal the media from designer brands and local shops, using their work to sell a product that doesn’t measure up. Another “Brides Beware” gown is this one, which looks magical and fairytale-esque in the first photo, but it’s a mess in the second.

White Lace Wedding Dress Strikes Again @Brides Beware/Facebook
The neckline doesn’t match up to the original, to say the least. And we don’t even want to talk about the skirt and the belt. This boxy, terrible-looking gown is yet another reason why buying your dress online at a discount price isn’t the wisest thing to do, no matter how much you can “save.”

103. Floral One Shoulder Wedding Dress

Original Dress Price: $5,000*
Original Made by: Anna Campbell
Knock-off Purchased at: DHGate.com
Knock-off Purchased for: $150-$200*
DHGate.com is a website that sells pretty much everything. Most of its goods are cheap and imported. As a rule of thumb, it’s probably best not to buy your wedding gown from the same place where you can buy Halloween decorations and lawn equipment.

Floral One Shoulder Wedding Dress @Brides Beware/Facebook
Their dresses retail for $150 to $250, but they are not worth it, as you can see from this photo. The left dress, designed by Anna Campbell, doesn’t look anything like the right. The right dress looks more like a cheap, tacky prom dress than an actual masterpiece. Don’t be fooled by the price—avoid sites like these.

104. Strapless White Wedding Gown

Original Dress Price: $1,200-$1,500*
Original Made by: Morilee
Knock-off Purchased at: eBay
Knock-off Purchased for: $200*
This dress was placed on display at a local shop as a word of caution to those who want to buy their bridal gown off the Internet. The gown on the left is an “eBay copy” of a dress by the well-known designer Morilee.

Strapless White Wedding Gown @Brides Beware/Facebook
The average gown from Morilee is $1,200 to $1,500, and we’d hazard to guess that this knockoff was a small fraction of that price. According to Borrowing Magnolia, Morilee wedding gowns are some of the “most loved” dresses worldwide. This eBay copy is a true insult to the real designer’s hard work.

Everyone loves a good romper. They can fit you in a flattering way, no matter your body type. When online shopping, be careful that you’re buying from a reputable site and do your research. See what people are saying about the outfit, whether it works for them or not.

Clearly, this blue romper falls into the latter category. While it looks flattering and chic on the left-hand side, it looks more like a Frozone SuperSuit than an actual fashion statement on the right. The cheap, shiny material makes for a great Halloween costume, nonetheless.
