Look: Aussie Shopper mortified after ‘embarrassing’ fail at Kmart
- Replies 12
Have you ever experienced the embarrassment of realising you've made a simple yet unwitting error while shopping? Perhaps you've grabbed an item you thought was exactly what you needed, only to later discover it was something entirely different upon arriving home. Such mishaps, while innocent, can occasionally be cringe-worthy.
Such was the case for a shopper who felt elated when she stumbled across what seemed to be a ‘cute dress’ while shopping at the retail giant, Kmart.
A sheepish shopper took to social media to share her tale of a shopping trip gone wrong.
Taking to a popular Facebook group for Kmart lovers, a shopper, who shared a picture of what she thought was a ‘cute dress’, revealed that she was surprised when she discovered that the $20 clothing item wasn’t a summer dress at all.
In the photo, the shopper was seen modelling the item she just bought. The brown and white gingham dress had spaghetti straps tied above the woman’s shoulder and a fitted elastic section around the bust.
‘Found this in a random aisle thinking it was a cute dress, took it home and realised it’s a maternity top. Super comfy and breathable material,’ she wrote in the caption.
The shopper said she found the ‘dress’ as it was being discarded by another customer in a different part of the store away from the maternity section, and picked it up for herself.
The group members found the blunder endearing and many told her to ‘ignore the label’ since it looked great on her anyway.
Someone even said her mistake could be ‘hinting at little footsteps’ in the future, and compared it to catching the bride’s bouquet at a wedding.
‘I’m laughing but it looks good on you, it definitely doesn’t matter what the label says,’ said one.
Another shared: ‘I wouldn’t have known it was a maternity dress if you hadn’t said. You looked perfect and quite comfy in it.’
While another stated they had the same dress and didn’t realise it was for pregnant women.
Some people shared their own mix-ups while shopping.
‘I’ve done this previously…just don’t get offended when people ask when you’re due,’ one quipped.
While one person shared that about 20 years ago, the same thing happened to them when they fell in love with a ‘gorgeous’ white linen summer top. ‘Wore it to work and a pregnant colleague was wearing the same thing and said “must be something in the water there” lol,’ they explained.
Maternity fashion has come a long way since the days of baggy, unflattering clothing. Today, pregnant women can choose from a wide variety of stylish options. Whether it’s a bodycon dress for a night out or a classic sundress for beach days, there’s something for everyone.
It’s now easier than ever for expectant mums to make fashion choices that fit their figure and style. With innovative designs and materials, there’s sure to be something to suit everyone’s individual preferences. It’s no wonder the shopper had mistaken the maternity dress she bought for a summer frock!
