A WEDDING guest caused a stir online after posting the outfit she planned to wear.
The woman modeled the divisive style for her followers, who compared the look to underwear.
In your viral videoSadie, TikTok user (@sstraining) explained her dilemma about what to wear to her boyfriend’s brother’s wedding.
She revealed that she was still waiting for the other options to arrive, but only had four days to return her current choice.
Sadie stepped back to give the audience a full view of her current outfit.
The two-piece look featured a black top with spaghetti straps that she described as “very cheap.”
“This is my first option, I think it looks really cheap, the straps are cheap, the fabric looks cheap,” said Sadie.
Her tight skirt reached her ankles, where it flared out slightly to create a mermaid style.
The skirt also had a black lace detail at the waist, which partially covered Sadie’s exposed stomach.
“Is this considered black tie? Should I keep that as an option?” she asked.
Her followers shared their thoughts on the two-piece look in the comments section.
“No! Go back! For black tie, think ball gown, formal evening dress,” one viewer wrote.
“I thought it was the bottom slip, like the layer you wear under your dress. Please Google the black tie dress code, it’s super formal,” said another TikTok user.
“No separates, bare midriffs or spaghetti straps for black ties,” advised a third person.
“Definitely come back. I thought you were wearing a slip to get ready to show us the real dress,” another commenter wrote.
“I think you just heard black tie and not black tie”, pointed out a follower.
“A DEFINITE NO for a black tie wedding. But a YES to a New Year’s Eve outfit or similar event with a sequin blazer,” suggested another person.
Dos and Don’ts of Wedding Dress Codes
By Josie Griffiths, Fabulous deputy editor and bride-to-be.
Josie Griffiths said: I will never forget the wedding I went to in October 2022 where a guest wore a white dress.
It was ill-fitting, knee-length, and looked nothing like a real wedding dress, but that didn’t stop everyone from judging her.
The rules about wedding guest attire — which are annoyingly stricter for women than men — are meant to be about “not outshining the bride,” which is actually pretty hard to do on someone else’s wedding day.
But if you get it wrong as a guest, you’ll end up looking a little silly and in front of a bunch of people who don’t know you personally.
It’s just not the occasion for your new white dress, no matter how much online stores love to throw it in the ‘wedding guest’ section.
I would avoid anything too tight/short and ditch the super formal dresses unless the dress code requires them – you don’t want to wear a long sequin dress to a smart casual event.
Personally I don’t like black dresses either, it’s not a funeral.
Otherwise you will be quite safe. Technically, wearing red means you’re in love with your fiancé, but that’s the kind of rule most people would scoff at these days.
I always check the bridesmaids’ color, just to be safe, after the Spanish wedding, where I saw them walk down the aisle in exactly the same dress I had in my Asos shopping basket weeks before.
When in doubt, it’s safest to just check with the bride… but if you’re already doubting your dress, this might be the answer you need.
“No, although it goes all the way, it’s more of a party dress. Generally black tie dresses have longer sleeves,” wrote one viewer.
“This can’t even be a backup option,” said another TikTok user.
“This is completely the opposite of black tie. A definitive RETURN”, commented a follower.
“I’m also going to a black-tie wedding and I did a lot of research since I’ve never been to one. And that’s a big no-no,” wrote another commenter.
“Friend, if you show your waist it’s probably not black tie”, pointed out a viewer.
