A festive partygoer owes her life to the skintight £35 ‘bodycon’ dress she squeezed into before going out, after it stopped her bones piercing her organs in a horrific car accident.

Zoe Turner’s dress acted ‘like a corset’ and stopped bones popping out and causing fatal internal injuries after her taxi was hit by a cement mixer.

Doctors told the 21-year-old that the dress almost certainly saved her life, after Ms Turner and three friends were left badly hurt in the crash.

She said: ‘I couldn’t believe my dress saved my life. That’s the best £35 I’ve ever spent.

‘Although I didn’t come off lightly, the end result could have been a lot worse.

‘The pain and restriction my dress was causing was unbearable – I am lucky to be alive.

The dress may be healthy for her, but it interrupted my breathing for a second.

Maybe the color red causes a reaction in me.

“So who took the cement mixer out that late at night?”

[Lazamataz]

[Lazamataz]

[iowamark]

35 pounds equals 54 US dollars.

After the accident the cement got hard.

[JohnBrowdie]

[Cvengr]

After the concrete truck hit, that 35 pound dress is probably a 70 pound dress.
