Online shopping is great, and Amazon is obviously the go-to place when it comes to buying goods on the internet. However, whenever you purchase something online, there's always a risk that it will arrive and be nothing like how it was described. And that is why user reviews are so important to online shoppers.
Whether I'm buying clothes or a computer, I will only buy a product online that other consumers have rated highly - and Amazon is great for this. Not only does the online retailer offer a five-star rating system, but it also allows users to leave a comment on the product page, which can also be accompanied by an image.
Now, most people will simply take a simple shot of their order against a blank background, or, if it is an item of clothing, they may take a shot in a mirror. But one Amazon shopper has left people baffled after sharing a picture of her wearing a dress that she bought off Amazon... at her father's funeral.
Speaking of dresses, this is the revealing Cannes Film Festival dress that got Vietnamese actress Ngoc Trinh fined:The product in question is the 'AUSELILY Women Long Sleeve Loose Plain Plus Size Maxi Dresses Casual Long Dresses' (be sure to hit those keywords),
Now, despite the maxi dress boasting a round neckline, a "soft and stretchy" material, and side-seam pockets for a "fashionable, sexy and elegant" look, it's natural that many people who wish to purchase the dress to want to check the user pics first.

In her review, titled 'Perfect fit, perfect color', the woman writes:
"I love this dress! I normally stick with black or muted colors but the royal blue color called to me. I'm so glad I went with that one. It fits great and I love the pockets! I'm 5' 6" and about 170lbs, so I wasn't sure how a dress like this would fit on me, but the fabric hit at all of the right places and with the help of some Spanx, it worked really well. I actually wore it to my father's funeral and many people commented on how it was the perfect color on me. Would definitely buy again. (I ordered a large!)"
I don't know about you, but her "would definitely buy again" made me feel a little uneasy.
The bizarre review eventually made its way to a Reddit thread, where people couldn't help but comment on the odd choice of location to show off her new frock.
Despite commenters on Reddit agreeing that it is a nice dress, they just wanted to know why she had decided to add that picture. One person said: "You would think shed have snapped a pic in the mirror at home. What do I know!?" Another said she was a bit confused about "Amazon review etiquette."
