A woman was horrified after finding a Tesco dress with a note on that says it “smells”.

But Billie said the grim gaffe gave her and her sister a “laugh” on their shopping trip.

Speaking to The Sun, Billie, 25, and her sister said they visited the West Durrington Extra store in Worthing, West Sussex, earlier this month.

Her sister took a liking to a red polka dot dress and decided to try it on.

But when they grabbed the garment, the girls, from Worthing (a town in West Sussex, England), realised it had a sticker on both the back and front saying it “smells”.

The label read: “Smells, been sprayed with Febreze.”

When asked if the item of clothing did really stink, Billie told The Sun: “We didn’t want to smell it!”

“Don’t buy that one,” joked the woman. Picture: Supplied

Billie posted about the incident on social media, with the TikTok video being watched more than 35,000 times.

Ems B said: “It’ll be a return and they’ve put that note on to say they think it’s been worn, but it’s been put out by accident.”

Billie wrote back: “Gave me a laugh either way.”

Charlotte added: “Nothing a bit of Febreze can’t help.”

A spokesperson for Tesco said they had no record of any clothing being put back onto the shop floor with such a label, and that items which are not in good condition are removed from the shop floor.
