Not like in the brochure

It wasn’t transparent in the photo,
in the brochure it was opaque
so why on earth did I trust it?
It was some mistake to make.
 
On the model it was a pashmina
laid across cool summer dress,
butterfly pattern not so busy,
it didn’t look such a mess.
 
Instead of draping on shoulders
on a balmy summer night,
I’d only wear it in winter coat  
tucked well away out of sight.
 
Gave the book back with my order,
proof gone if you get my gist,
item dropped from new catalogue
and online it just don't exist!
 
Why can’t their pictures be honest?
I know they just want to sell
but they can’t want repeat custom
nor think much of their clientele!

Hi Solar, not really into car boots, but at least you wouldn't have to take anything off to try this thing on, lol. Can't think who would want it though! Thanks for nice comment. xx

Thank you for your kind comment, Yvonne. You have it so right, try the item first! xx

Thank you Patricia & Stef, much appreciated xx

Isobel, glad it amused, I shall have to remember that about China, provided I ever trust a brochure again! As it was Avon, I'm considering giving it back to the rep when she calls. Thanks for comment. x

LOl - I laughed reading this - I've sworn never to buy unseen again - I've wasted so much money like that cos often it's not worth the postage to send it back.

And be warned - never buy anything from China without making it at least 2 sizes bigger than you normally buy - they don't seem to have any concept of European sizes!
