A disgruntled shopper has claimed she was left looking like a ‘drag queen gone wrong’ after a gold ‘TOWIE’ jumpsuit she ordered online turned out to be completely see-through.
Ellen Williams had purchased the outfit from fashion retailer Pretty Little Thing and had planned to wear it at her Christmas party.
The 21-year-old had ordered the £35 jumpsuit after seeing former The Only Way is Essex star Lauren Goodger wearing it.

However, once the order arrived and Miss Williams had tried the outfit on, she was horrified to discover that the glittery ensemble hung off her body, bunched around her ankles and was completely transparent, revealing her underwear.
Miss Williams, who works as a personal assistant said she was forced to throw the ‘shocking’ garment away but shared hilarious pictures of herself modelling the item with her friends.
She now believes the jumpsuit is made of different materials to the one modelled in the advert and said: ‘It’s shocking to see how nice something looks on the picture compared to what came through the post. It’s so disappointing.

Ellen Williams (pictured left with her boyfriend Tyler) said she looked like a ‘drag queen gone wrong’ after trying on the £35 jumpsuit (right)
‘I looked awful. I said I looked like a drag queen gone wrong.
‘When you get something that makes you think ‘oh yes, that’d look really nice on me’ then the quality is really bad, it makes you feel a bit rubbish about yourself.
‘There’s a little part of you that thinks ‘is it actually me?’
‘I’ve seen a few celebrities wearing that jumpsuit. I’d seen Lauren from The Only Way is Essex wearing it and it looks like it did online on her, but there’s no way I was sent the same.

‘They have 100 per cent used different material for the model.
‘It’s like two different outfits. It seems like very, very cheap fabric.’
Miss Williams, from London, contacted Pretty Little Thing who immediately gave her a refund for the jumpsuit and told her not to bother returning it.

Although she admits the cut seemed the same, Ellen, who is 5ft 7, was left with a mountain of fabric around her ankles as the jumpsuit was so long.
Ellen said: ‘When it was in the packaging I didn’t really notice straight away because it was all layered and looked okay.
‘But when I got it out the wrapping I wouldn’t have usually bothered trying it on, but thought it’d look so funny.

‘It’s inconsistent. I ordered a dress for New Year’s Eve last year that was a red gown and it was beautiful. I loved it.
‘I do look on there and I will go there if I want something for a party and I bought this on Tuesday night for my Christmas party in December.
‘I like their jumpsuits usually. When they have the odd good item, you have a bit of hope.
‘£35 isn’t the cheapest. It’s cheaper than some things, but if I’m paying £35 for an outfit I would expect to be paying for the quality as well.
‘It almost seems like one of those outfits you’d wear over a swimming costume or something if you were going to a pool party or something, but that’s not what they’ve advertised it as.
‘I definitely won’t be braving wearing that out.
‘I’d pretty much say it was the same cut, but there was a lot of material at the bottom and I’m quite tall, I’m 5ft 7.
‘Pretty Little Thing asked me to let them know my order number and refunded me.’
