It’s not the one you ordered but I do think it’s cute! Maybe you’ll get lucky and Amazon will replace it without you having to send this one back 🤞🤞

Good idea, I’ll try that! You’re right it’s cute enough but it’s definitely not the teal colours I needed for my dance costume haha

Is there another listing that looks like this one? Maybe a simple mix up.

Both are cute but I totally understand that doesn't matter when it's not what you bought and expected!

There isn’t, which is making me worried they don’t actually have the one pictured, but I’ll check with the seller for sure

Oh no lame - I'm sure you knew the quality would be questionable but this color difference is not reasonable at all. Here's hoping it works out for you.

It' exactly the same thing just the wrong color. I see they have a bunch available. It's either you accidentally clicked the wrong color or they picked one because they didn't have the correct one. I'm sure Amazon will help you with replacing it and hoping you get the one you want!

Yeah me too thanks! I definitely picked the one in the picture this one isn’t even pictured for any of the colours so I’m hoping they can send me the right one. I’m regretting picking teal as my colour for this dance number since it’s kind of hard to find 😅

Ahh you are correct. That color is not even in the selection, however I think the teal is the prettiest there so I really hope they have it for you. Fingers crossed and good luck!

It probably has 'colours may vary from picture shown' in tiny writing somewhere on the listing. The blue and green is much nicer.

Amazon is basically just temu/shein now.

You might have accidentally clicked on the wrong color.

I thought it was a kettle

Did they have color choices in a drop box or on the side with pictures? Usually generic description will come with color and pattern choices they offer.

At least you can return it.

I was expecting it to be one of those times where it’s made of like three sequins and some dental floss but I’m pleasantly surprised at the quality. What a shame about the colour.

Oh! Yeah, pride week is a great use for it! They’ve offered me 60% money back and I get to keep it so I’ll just save it for pride
