The 'Stay Down' singer was at the Diane von Furstenberg store in New York last week when she overheard a woman discussing the price of a dress with the sales assistant at the register.

A source said: "The girl had a dress on hold that she loved, and the bill was $900. She thought it was only $500, and she couldn't afford it. Mary told the saleswoman, 'Go get the girl. I want to pay for the balance on the dress.' "

"The customer at first declined Mary's offer but relented after the singer said, 'I know what it's like to want something and not be able to have it. I insist.'"

Mary also insisted she didn't want the woman to pay her back when she had saved up enough money.

The source added to the New York Post newspaper: "The customer wanted to send her a check for the balance, but Mary said, 'Just enjoy it. I'm blessed, so let me do this.'"
