A fashion blogger who bought a gold, shoulder-padded evening dress from online retailer Cherley was stunned to receive a yellow dress which people were quick to slam.
Anita Mwiruki said she ordered the metallic petal-adorned dress on September 10 and received it on November 30. Last week, she showed off the outfit to her 172,000 TikTok followers in a 54-second video that quickly went viral, with more than 650,000 views.
“At first I was like, ‘Just adjust and pass the steam. You’ll be fine. No, girl. You’ve been robbed,'” one user commented.
“Cinderella when the clock struck midnight…lol,” commented another with a laugh.
In a series of TikToks, Mwiruki explained how she came to this disappointment.
“I saw this dress and it said ‘pre-order’. In my brain, when I hear and see “pre-order”, I tell myself that they are going to take the time to make this item. I wait. Good things come to those who wait,” she explains.
“After a month, I sent an email like, ‘Hey, what’s going on?’ And this is what they sent me,” Mwiruki continues, showing an October 2 email from the Cherley support team that says the company appreciates their patience and that preparing the dress might take 2-3 additional weeks.
“And I thought, ‘Wow, they are really there, working hard, tirelessly, to make this dress a work of art.’ Turns out I don’t know what they’ve been up to the last two months… I don’t know. I have so many questions,” Mwiruki concluded.
