The struggle is real.

Ordering clothes online isn't easy. More often than not, you find your dream item of clothing, you click and buy, and when it arrives? Well, it's nothing like the photo on the website.

Olivia Skuce, from Northern Ireland, had one such predicament. She ordered a top online from Pretty Little Thing, but when it arrived, it wouldn't fit over her head.

Skuce tweeted photos of herself attempting to squeeze the top over her head. And, countless others tweeted photos at her to show they are experiencing the exact same problem.

One person chimed in to let Skuce know that this sartorial issue is actually "a global problem".

"Omg same," seems to be the general consensus on Twitter.

The struggle is honestly just so real for some people.

Pretty Little Thing did not immediately respond to Mashable's request for comment.
