I did not trust it - and was right.<br />Karie, can you niece take it with her credit card company or was it too long ago? Even if she cannot get her money back at least she should alert them to this unscrupulous company. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/this-typo-is-hilarious#post-1427829 Tue, 20 Jan 2015 00:24:08 +0000 Laura (rhubarbgirl) 1427829@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Chip's Chips would be a pretty funny name for a chip company, actually.</p> <p>Interesting re the knockoffs. Lots of fast fashion retailers steal ideas but not even shooting your own photos seems like a new low. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/this-typo-is-hilarious#post-1427826 Tue, 20 Jan 2015 00:13:23 +0000 Karie 1427826@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I was just discussing this company with my niece today. She ordered a coat from them and never got it. Everything ships from China. She later found out that there are other people that ordered from them and never received their merchandise. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/this-typo-is-hilarious#post-1427797 Mon, 19 Jan 2015 23:19:24 +0000 abc 1427797@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They keep coming now. I see an ad that says </p> <p>Batwing sleeves knitting women's sweater </p> <p>$28 and free international shipping!! What a deal ...</p> <p>Sigh. Sadly I see bad translations nearly every day. One of my personal favorites is a brand of potato chips sold here in Mexico called "Chip's" </p> <p>I've convinced myself that a man named Chip owns the company and the use of apostrophe is for possession. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/this-typo-is-hilarious#post-1427773 Mon, 19 Jan 2015 22:42:33 +0000 catgirl 1427773@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow!&nbsp; As if the crime of poor translation isn't bad enough! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/this-typo-is-hilarious#post-1427754 Mon, 19 Jan 2015 22:15:54 +0000 Debora 1427754@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hilarious! Coincidentally, the Today Show just did an investigative report on this very company several days ago. Apparently they rip off photos from high end stores to peddle their cheap and shoddy merchandise. Here's the link to the report if you are interested.</p> <p><a href="http://t.today.com/news/some-discount-clothes-look-stylish-online-shoddy-you-1D80412554" rel="nofollow">http://t.today.com/news/some-d.....1D80412554</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/this-typo-is-hilarious#post-1427740 Mon, 19 Jan 2015 21:58:32 +0000 gradfashionista 1427740@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh dear.

For my taste, that dress is kinda fugly. That white blob poking out in that exact spot seems very suggestive. The white side of the dress looks like the profile of a woman with a very pronounced baby bump. OTOH, I love white, yellow and black as a color combination. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/this-typo-is-hilarious#post-1427650 Mon, 19 Jan 2015 19:10:01 +0000 Kim 1427650@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My guess is that the dress is known (for some reason) as a something that translates also to "spliced" (slit/ or color blocked maybe? LOL) in whatever language this ad was translated from, and then it was translated very literally! LOL&nbsp; (I see this a bit on Ebay too. It's kind of funny, if you like languages!)</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/this-typo-is-hilarious#post-1427636 Mon, 19 Jan 2015 18:50:47 +0000 Mochi 1427636@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Me neither.
