Woman discovers surprising note on dress during shopping trip

A woman in the UK has made a surprise discovery while shopping for clothes.

Billie, 25, was at British retail chain Tesco when her sister saw a red polka dot dress she liked.

As they began looking through the dresses for the right size, they stumbled across a note that had been pinned to one of the dresses.

They then notice the note pinned to the dress, which reads, "Smells been sprayed with Febreeze [sic]."

Febreze is a spray used to remove odours from fabrics.

The source of the note isn't known but it could be that the dress had been worn and then returned, with the customer using Febreze in an attempt to return it to its original state.

Or it could be that the clothing at the store is sprayed with something similar to Febreze, although why that dress in particular would have the note pinned to it is a mystery.

Billie shared the video of her discovery on TikTok with tens of thousands of people watching it.

"Nothing a bit of Febreeze can't help," writes one TikTok follower.

Billie replies, "But why the label?"

"Somebody probably returned it and they had to air it out and accidentally left the tag on," someone suggests.

"It'll be a return and they've put a note on to say they think it's been worn, but it's been put back out by accident," says another.

Billie says at this point in the conversation it "gave me a laugh either way".
