There is always a risk when buying clothes online - sometimes the fabric feels cheap , or the colour just does n't seem to match how it appeared on screen . Or the fit could be far less flattering in real life than online - as one woman has just discovered . The Chinese shopper bought a risqué black dress - which featured a full length sheer panel - from eCommerce site Taobao . Online shopping fail ! A woman in China has been left disgruntled after the daring dress she bought online fell short of her expectations . The gown , a copy of one worn by Thor actress Jaime Alexander at the film 's premiere in 2013 , features features top-to-bottom see-through panels on the front and back of the dress , which mean concealing the wearer 's modesty is something of a challenge . While the customer was hoping to emulate the daring look shown online , the real deal turned out to be less glamorous than she hoped . From sexy to X-rated : The cut-out dress , purchased from eCommerce site Taobao , revealed a lot more than the customer expected . Fully exposed : The full-length sheer panels show off plenty of skin front and back . The unsatisfied shopper posted comparison pictures on the seller 's page , showing how the dress revealed far more than she intended . Stretched across a less petite figure , the sheer panel shows off a lot more skin and covers less of her intimate regions , turning what was a daring look into a rather more X-rated one . The shopper 's pink slippers do little to help the sartorial situation as they stuck out obviously from underneath her dress , giving her a humorous look . Couture copy : The dress is a copy of one worn by Thor actress Jaimie Alexander at the film 's 2013 premiere . Jaimie Alexander made headlines when she walked the red carpet in the designer version of the dress 18 months ago . The actress raised eyebrows as she risked wardrobe malfunctions in every direction , with her daring dress skirting dangerously close to her nipples , bikini line and bottom . However , her washboard stomach and statuesque figure did go some way in helping to pull off the shocking look . This is n't the first time though that disgruntled online shoppers have been let down . Earlier this year many women took to the internet to lament the fact that the dresses they had ordered looked nothing like the pictures they had been shown . Most of those duped were brides looking for an alternative to buying their wedding dress from an expensive bridal store . Many websites offer cheap copies of designer gowns , made in the Far East - but instead of using lace from Chantilly , what arrives is polyester from China . Here are some of the worst ... This dusty pink number appeared subtle and classy ( left ) however in reality it was a shade of bubble gum pink with plastic crystals ( right ) This Edwardian dress appeared opulent with a full bodied shirt online ( left ) , however in reality it was lackluster ( right ) Did this get put in the wash with the green socks ? A case of colour confusion when this dress arrived , right . This multicoloured gown appeared to make a statement ( left ) but the version that was delivered barely made a whisper ( right ) Left : What the bride expected . Right : What arrived on the doorstep . The lace sleeves are missing the lace .
