A WOMAN has left people in hysterics after showing off her birthday party outfit. Lauren, from the US, took to social media to show the emerald green number off but it had one detail that left everyone stunned by the outfit. In the clip, she revealed she paid £25 ($30) for next day delivery to ensure her dream dress arrived in time for her birthday celebrations.

Lauren said: "Y'all, today is my birthday. "I paid $30 to overnight ship this dress I saw online. "I was like, oh, I love an emerald green. "Y'all wanna see it?". She stood close to the camera at first so you could see the gorgeous deep green colour of the dress and the beautiful pleated plissé satin material.

But she then moved away to show the mini dress off in all its glory and it left people stunned by how big the sleeves were. Lauren herself was shocked by the massive sculptural rounded shell sleeves. The design of the arms looked like the on-trend barrel jeans and had an added drawstring for adjustability.

"I have to leave the house soon," she said looking at herself in horror. "What's happening here? My arms are straight.". Lauren revealed she was going through her wardrobe to find something else to wear. "New trend alert! Barrel jeans for arms," she sarcastically captioned the post.
