A woman struck it lucky when she showed off a R149 Mr Price dupe of a viral R5 000 blouse.
Micro-influencer Jessica du Plessis took to her TikTok account (@jessica_vanheerden) to share the fashion find with social media users. The white bow blouse (as referred to on the popular video-sharing app) from Mr Price mimicked the iconic design from the fashion brand GANNI.
According to Jessica-Ann Shepherd (a graphic and fashion designer and creative director of Oddity), bows are currently trending in the fashion industry. They are often used to "DIY a top into something fresh and different or give an outfit a feminine look."
Talking about the design, the micro-influencer said:
"We're in our bow era. We get it, and I am too."
Jessica also warned people with a bigger chest that the side-view of the blouse may expose people's breasts due to the bow design.
She also shared in her caption:
"I guess R149 is better than almost R5 000. So, if you have the frame of a ballerina, you will look so cute in this! I still have it, by the way. I will figure out a way to wear it."

Fashion find gets the internet talking
TikTokkers, who showed interest in the affordable garment, shared their take on the blouse.
@tercia25 shared in the comment section:
"I liked it, but when I tried it on I found it was too see-through. I wish they did it in a different colour."
Jessica responded:
"I agree! I got to wear something underneath, potentially. But imagine this top in red!"
Not happy about the fit, @kay_lie_26_6 said:
"I tried it on, and it looked terrible on me, yoh."
An appreciative @debbie_rolo wrote:
"Thank you for your service."
@danita_els made the suggestion:
"What if you wear it backwards? Bows at the back?"
Fashion expert provides insight
Speaking about the bow design possibly being risque for people with a bigger chest, Jessica-Ann shared with Briefly News:
"It can definitely be worn if comfortable. If a blouse is desired, then a wrap top would be more flattering to a bigger chest."
Woman shows fashion flop from Mr Price
In a related article, Briefly News reported about a woman who hilariously showed off the failed item she purchased from the local store, Mr Price.
Using the handle @punky.sanele on TikTok, the woman shared a screenshot of the Oakridge Formal column dress she saw at the store. However, instead of the dress being a perfect fit, the unfortunate customer shared that one of the sleeves was longer than the other.
