PrettyLittleThing shopper claims $27 top left her with horrific ‘burns’

An online shopper has shared horrific images of cuts all over her breasts, claiming the “burns” were caused by a $27 lace top.

Warning: Graphic

An online shopper has issued a warning to fellow customers of a popular brand after claiming she suffered “burns” from wearing one of its tops.

Adara Graham, 19, from the UK, shared confronting images of her chest on Twitter which showed multiple scab wounds.

She claimed the injuries were the result of a zebra print top she bought for £15 ($A27) from online retailer PrettyLittleThing, which also operates here in Australia.

It was the first time the teen had worn the lace top, which features metal eyelets for the strings to thread through.

She believes the metal hoops on the front are what caused the skin reaction.

“Anyone buying from @OfficialPLT please be wary of buying tops with metal loops on them, this was my first time wearing it, and the metal loops look as if they have gone rusty and burnt through my skin causing my chest to blister and be in a lot of pain,” Ms Graham posted to her Twitter account.

She said the irritation has become so severe she is now having to seek medical attention.

“@OfficialPLT looking like it’s gonna become infected,” Ms Graham said, tagging the e-boutique.

Images of the teen’s shocking injuries have garnered more than 40,000 likes and 16,000 retweets from horrified online users, branding the item “cheap”.

“Oh my god that looks so, so painful. Hope it heals quickly,” one woman responded.

“Holy sh*t,” another simply said.

“This is horrific wtf,” added another.

“This is why I always inspect and WASH my clothing before putting anything on, my skin is wayyyyyy to sensitive so I have to be extra cautious,” a fourth person explained.

Some were shocked by the claims as they also had the same top, while others shared similar experiences.

“I have this same top and I didn't wear a bra. mine was fine … this is literally the only thing I own from them. It could be a reaction,” one woman said.

“Wish I could say I was kiddin (sic) when I had a mark like that in the exact same place and I was so confused about how I got it,” another shopper added.

“Not a doctor but you might have an allergy to a metal they used! I get similar reactions if I wear fake jewellery from sites like theirs so I always have to go for gold plated or sterling silver at the very least,” a third commented.

It’s not clear what metal is used in the animal-print blouse, although the website does warn: “Due to fabric used, colour may transfer.”

Among the thousands of people who have responded to the 19-year-old’s post is the e-boutique, who have issued her an apology.

“Hey. I am really sorry this has happened. Please DM us and we will have this resolved for you as quickly as possible,” a PrettyLittleThing staff member responded.

It was followed by another comment from the online store – “Hey! Could you drop us a Dm with your full name, email address, order number and delivery address so we can get this sorted for you.”

It is unclear whether the teen has got in touch with the online store.

The e-boutique recently made headlines after Ronan Keating’s daughter was spotted wearing one of its risque bikinis.

Missy, who is now 19, was photographed on a beach in Ireland donning the “Jungle Print” two-piece set which featured very high cut bottoms. The $20 bottoms are also a G-string style, putting its wearer’s full booty on display.

The bikini top, which costs $16, is a popular triangle fitting which is also designed to have an underboob, a swimwear trend that was made popular last summer and loved by many Australian influencers including Tammy Hembrow.

Missy, who has over 30,000 followers on Instagram and appears to be carving a career as an influencer, accessorised her budget swimmers with stacked gold jewellery, including necklaces, rings and a pair of hooped earings.

She teamed her jewellery with a large pair of black oversized sunnies and wore her flame-red hair loose on her shoulders.

Missy is the middle of three children her dad Ronan had with ex-wife Yvonne Connolly. He also has two young kids with second wife Storm, an Australian TV producer.
