This is bad. So bad.
Listen, we know that basically everything is edited online. From photos to captions to the Kardashians.
And we’re not naive… we also know that clothes shops edit photos of products to make them look, well… better.
But with reputable clothing sites, you’d hope that what you see on screen is what arrives to your door.
That’s why people are going maaaad at ASOS after it was caught out by a Twitter user called @xronnieanna and she shared the screenshots online.
She captioned the post, “uhmm @ASOS ..think you forgot to edit those clips out.”

The clips are clearly seen holding the dress in so obviously it will look completely different at the back when you actually wear it.
Surprisingly, ASOS actually replied to the post and said: “Hi Ronnie, thank you for raising this with us. We’re sorry to hear the clips are showing in the picture. We’ll now raise this with our specialist team. If you have any questions please send us a message we’d be happy to help.”
Or can you stop adding clips because it’s misleading when the product arrives and is completely different in real life? Show us how it really fits

But… that’s not the point.
Lads, will they ever learn?
