An awkward ASOS Photoshop error raised a pretty good point

Okay, so we've all seen a Photoshop job go awry, but the problem in this pic isn't an extra finger or a carried away airbrusher - instead, it's the lack of editing that caught the eye of one sharp shopper.

It was brought to the attention of ASOS that one of the garments had bulldog clips visible in the photograph. It appears that these were used to hold the dress in place possibly to create the illusion of a more flattering fit.

Hi Ronnie, thank you for raising this with us. We're sorry to hear the clips are showing in the picture. We'll now raise this with our specialist team. If you have any questions please send us a message we'd be happy to help.

Although ASOS has since apologised along with editing the clips out, social media had some thoughts beyond the editing error, questioning whether the online shop is misleading them in regards to sizing.

Hey @ASOS_HeretoHelp why not clearly show how the dress fits, instead of changing it to fit in a different way than it clearly wouldn’t without the clip, definitely an idea for the specialist team 🙌🏽☺️

Or can you stop adding clips because it's misleading when the product arrives and is completely different in real life? Show us how it really fits

Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 🤯 And there’s you doubting your body shape when the dress doesn’t hang right like the pictures and what not

Another Twitter user pointed out that the reason that ASOS has a high rate of returns could be due to the "misleading fit."

The irony of the them clearly deceiving what the clothes actually look like yet recently banning accounts that “return too many items” 😡

ASOS has yet to respond.
