Picture the scene – you’ve been whisked away to Mallorca by your boyfriend to celebrate your anniversary (the boy did well). You’ve teased him about the sexy satin outfit you’re about to walk out in.

But instead of strutting out like the majestic queen you are, you’re forced to bashfully cover up your breasts dangling out of the top you’re wearing.

That’s what happened to English literature student Bethany Ward, from Wolverhampton, who had a bit of a Boohoo nightmare.

The student, who’s studying in Newcastle, ordered a neon pink pencil skirt and crop top from the online retailer for her two year anniversary celebrations.




But a sizing mishap meant she was sent a small instead of a large. And that resulted in the top not covering up her 34G boobs.

Bethany saw the funny side of the mixup, posing in front of the mirror while wearing the barely-there top and covering her nipples with emoji.

It’s safe to say it all went a bit tits up.

‘I’m a size 12 but my top size can vary,’ she explained. ‘I’ve lost a stone and a half in two months to be able to lose some boob because online shopping can be a nightmare.

‘I was a 36HH but now I’m a 34G.’

She added that companies have a duty to be more mindful of women’s body sizes.

‘I think curvy girls should be wary as these clothes are mass-produced so they don’t care about the girls who aren’t the same size all over,’ said Bethany.

‘I’ve always found shopping online an anxious experience anyway because it normally says “out of stock” in sizes larger than a medium.

‘It’s dreadful because the average UK size is something like a 16 but yet still companies don’t want to cater to bigger people.

‘Beauty standards and the need to be aesthetically pleasing are being force-fed to us by these companies and then they don’t even have clothes in size for all, so it’s no wonder young girls suffer from things like body dysmorphia and don’t like the way we look.

‘That’s what fashion survives off – everyone wanting to look a certain way because they’ve been told to but that image doesn’t exist in reality.’
