Avril Wood, 26, bought the outfit after her boyfriend said he would take her out for a meal at the weekend.
But the therapist was surprised by what turned up on her doorstep. She ordered what she believed to be a size eight, leopard print, satin mini dress.
However, she was left howling when she claims what arrived was more like a 'tent' and made her look like 'Thumbelina wearing a handkerchief'.
Avril, from Northwich, Cheshire, said: "After my boyfriend told me he was going to be taking me for dinner at the weekend, I thought I'd treat myself to a new dress.
"I didn't have anything like this in my wardrobe so thought it would be great to add to my wardrobe.
"But as soon as it arrived I was shocked, and immediately knew it wasn't going to fit me - but I didn't realise it would be this bad!
"When I tried it on I couldn't stop laughing, it was as big as a tent and made me look like Thumbelina if she wore a handkerchief.
