Today, my prom dress came in the mail. I don't know what happened with the tailoring but not only does it not fit, but it also looks like deli meat. FML

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, my prom dress finally arrived. My prom was yesterday. FML
Today, after saving up for a beautiful new dress to wear to my partner's 30th birthday party, it finally arrived in the post. I tried the dress on and the stitching instantly ripped, leaving two big holes in it. Turns out I'm no longer a size 8. FML
Today, I tried on a dress for prom. It took a while to zip, but I insisted it'd fit. I asked for help. When the lady finally managed to zip all the way, the dress completely ripped at the seams. Not only did I have to pay $169 for it, but the lady told me, “We have more dresses in the plus-sized section!” FML
Today, after I'd ordered a cute dress online for an upcoming date, I tried it on, only to realise it was more of a glorified napkin than a dress. The tag online had said “One size fits all.” I now have a dress that fits my cat better than it fits me. FML
Today, my dad informed me that my prom dress makes me look chubby from the side, gives me "back fat", and that I wouldn't want to go to prom looking like that. I tried to ignore his hurtful comments and tell myself I was beautiful. Then the clasp broke. FML
Today, I was excited about my friend going wedding dress shopping, so before I went to go work out, I decided to try on a prom dress from high school to remember what it felt like to get dressed up. It was too tight, I broke the zipper, and spent 45 minutes trapped before I cut myself out. FML
Today, I received the beautiful dress I'd ordered on the internet. It's a size smaller than my usual, just to encourage me to lose weight. I managed to fit into it and wear it all day, but I've now been struggling for a couple of hours to remove it without tearing it to bits. FML
Today, I finally got the wedding dress I've been waiting months to see. It turns out that my mom ordered the dress 2 sizes smaller than my size, this way it will be "an incentive to lose weight". FML
Today, I got the dress I gave to a tailor to replace a broken zipper back. When I tried it on, I discovered that they’d cut at least 4 inches of fabric, and being skinny, there’s no way I can ever fit into it. It’s from the 1950’s, inherited from my late grandma, who in turn inherited it from her aunt. FML
Today, I received a package and excitedly tore it open. It was a specific dress I'd rush-ordered for an upcoming special event, but the company had sent me a size meant for a toddler. I'm not sure whether to laugh or cry. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

He was probably beating his meat while he was working on your dress.

Always buy clothes in person. Lesson learned.

Or, if you do buy a dress of the Internet, make sure you have enough time before the event in case you have to go buy something else.

Nothing quite as chic as meat. It will never go out of style. OP, you bought a dress classy enough for a queen! Seriously, though... I really hope you can get a refund. Good luck!

And this is why you don't order formal-wear without seeing it in person and trying it on first (a le wedding dress style). I cannot even count how many articles about dresses being ordered online (usually prom) that are nothing like their picture... because it says the picture is an approximation or a similar style, never the exact one. OP, I'm sorry, that sucks, but YDI.

How about we blame the companies selling knock-off dresses and taking advantage of naive teenage girls who don't know any better, instead of the naive teenage girls who don't know any better because they've grown up with the internet and are used to dealing with reputable online shopping sites.

30, there are also many many people who buy dresses online (including wedding dresses) and they fit perfectly and look beautiful. I think you can buy something online, as long as you have a lot of time before the event in case the dress doesn't work and you have to get a replacement.

This is why I don't order something special, like prom dresses, shoes, or something like that online. Go to the store and find another dress that doesn't look horrible and actually fits. YDI completely OP.

What sort of rancid deli do you go to if the description "deli meat" makes you immediately go to unappetizing?

Hopefully your date thinks you look delicious
