After spotting a cut-price glittering Vivienne Westwood t-shirt while out shopping, Helen bought it for £48 for her daughter Katie, 18.

Unfortunately, the design which she assumed was a marble effect was actually an orgy scene.
The gold lines are the outlines of various cartoon figures taking part in a variety of X-rated acts, which left Katie giggling and her mum shocked.
She tweeted about the hilarious mix-up, and was retweeted more than 3,500 times.
"Honestly I can't get my head round it," the nursery worker told The Independent. "I wasn't expecting more than five favourites, it's going global.
"My mum has a great sense of humour so she's finding it hilarious. She's just as stunned as me as to why it's got so big."
But despite the eye-popping illustration on the front, Katie, from Scotland, says she will wear the t-shirt.
"Vivienne Westwood is one of my favourite designers so I'll most definitely wear the shirt - even though it's a man's top!"
She later posted a picture of herself wearing the t-shirt.
