Wardrobe Malfunction - tell me yours!

I work surrounded by men. One of these men (lets call him John) came into the office this morning and said to another man (lets call him Peter) that he had a hole in the ass of his trousers. Que me slagging him as you do.

Peter, John and my "big boss" were some of the people in the canteen when I was making my breakfast with my back to them all.

Just sat back down at my desk and John came in and said "I don't know how to tel you this" I asked what, "The hole that Peter has in his trousers, you have one too"

I was stood, making my tea and cereal with my back to a room full of men with a hole in the ass of me trousers.

Anyone else have embarrassing wardrobe malfunctions to cheer me up??

Oh the skirt in the knicker one. Walking down to Charing Cross Station. I had bussed from Peckham and was just walking to the station when a lady (luckily) drew me to one side. Oh! the embarassment.! Hopefully my fellow travellers all had their eyes o their phones!

Had a wrap around skirt back on the nineties that fastened with teeny buttons inside....it decided to unwrap in the middle of Glasgow in rush hour 🙀😳 luckily I grabbed it as I felt it open just in time.

In my 20s and attended a cricket match with my then boyfriend. I found it uncomfortable sitting down for ages and perhaps with that in mind as we walked to get some refreshment across the busy park I did a cartwheel/handstand on impulse.

Gravity caused my crop top to fall down as I was upside down revealing my boobs. I did get a clap and a cheer from a group of people which I thought for a second was for my gymnastic ability but then realised I had exposed myself.

Skirt fell off in front of male colleague, luckily I was wearing opaque black tights.

yesterday's knickers falling out of my jean's legs in the high street.

Skirt tucked in knickers. Someone told me.

Someone also told me I had my skirt tucked in my knickers when it was actually the style of the dress I was wearing, never wore it again.

This happened to me, bizzarely also in Glasgow. I nipped into a shop and asked to use the changing room as i was literally holding it up. I fixed myself walked out and said thanks to the assistant and she looked me square in the eye and said " does it do that often then"

Eh no you twat or I'd not wear it. 😁

I also was at a work dinner, all men, and I went to the loo. Realised my blouse button had come undone and I'd not just being sitting at the table with my bra on display, but then proceeded to sashay through the busy restaurant Madonna style, was so mortified.

ImMeantToBeWorking · 05/06/2019 16:30

Ye have all given me a bit of a laugh! Thanks for helping me get over it!!

The lads decided to embarrass me more at lunch time by telling me I had had the hole for weeks, I know its a lie but still - morto!! I had my jumper around my waist for the rest of the day!

Wearing a press stud fastened denim shirt (when the were in fashion). Somehow trapped the front tail in my desk drawer without realising. Stood up to go to the loo and the whole thing popped undone - right in front of the reception window.

ImMeantToBeWorking · 05/06/2019 16:47

Oh remember them?? And the tracksuit bottoms with the stud fasteners too!! Oh the fashion! lol

I walked all the way home after a sunbed session in the town centre. Undressed for a shower and discovered the zip of my skirt was undone and I had been flashing my bum all the way home.

Similar thing happened on holiday, zip broke while I was out, but a nice lady told me this time, although I already knew.

I only wear skirts with side zips now, that way I can put my hand over it.

StrongerThanIThought76 · 05/06/2019 17:06

I've just walked in from a very long day teaching teenagers. 7 full classes of kids plus assembly and after school group.

My dress is on back to front. It's kind of a wrap dress, lycra/stretchy fabric.

Mortified that not a single person - student or staff alike - even mentioned it.

StarlightLady · 05/06/2019 19:44

I’ve had a wrap around skirt disaster too. It was held by one large single button. Button pinged off on escalator in department store and skirt sort of did an unwrap twirl and fell to the metal steps only to get caught in the metal “teeth” at the end. I was having a tug of war with the skirt standing in top and knickers. Had to buy a new skirt (not wrap around) in the same shop.

Ffsnosexallowed · 05/06/2019 19:48

Not me - dp. He was visiting dad's school (careers week). He's an exercise physiologist, and was demonstrating how to do a squat. As he squatted his shorts ripped right up the back. Luckily he was facing the class so they didn't see, he backed up to where he'd left his top and tied it round his waist.

cricketmum84 · 05/06/2019 19:55

As a teenager - I was wearing a boob tube style dress, dancing like a loon on the dance floor. Saw a few people giving me some funny looks. Yup looked down and it had slipped down and my bra less boobs were jiggling about as I was dancing!!! Mortified!

Gertie75 · 05/06/2019 19:56

My halter neck swimming costume unclipped from the fastening at the back of my neck as I walked along the side of the local swimming pool, due to the nature of it being stretchy fabric it was at my waist instantly.

cricketmum84 · 05/06/2019 19:59

Oh I have another one!!

I was 15, late developer so only just getting boobs and the rest. Went to a big swimming place with slides and stuff with my dad and his new girlfriend and I had bought a brand new lovely pink bikini.

Got in the water and it immediately went see through!!! Oh the horror! You could see EVERYTHING.

I had to inch back to the changing rooms behind my dad and missed out on the entire slide session.

chilledteacher · 05/06/2019 21:03

Ooh- about 20 years ago in my student days, yesterday's knickers falling out of my jeans and landing by the clutch pedal-in a driving lesson!! 😳

Not sure if the instructor noticed, if he did he had the good grace not to mention them and I dawdled getting out of the car to make sure he was out first so I could grab them and pocket them.

CrapTVAddict · 05/06/2019 21:14

Omg I have loads Blush
1st one went on a first date and wore a dress and tights and never wear tights but sure I read wearing a extra pair of knickers over the top of the tights stops them rolling down. Well walking on the first date I don't know how but the extra knickers I wore over the tights came down to my ankles and he saw and I had to wriggle them back up not only in front of him but people behind me walking!

The next one is horrific
Wore a dress to attend a school meeting with daughters teacher.
I wear pantyliners and as I was walking out of the meeting the teacher said oh you dropped this pointing to the floor and went to pick what she must have thought was a piece of paper but then stopped when she realised my panty liner had fell out onto the floor! BlushBlushBlushBlushBlushBlushBlush

I once went to work in a long dip dye hem gypsy skirt when they were the height of fashion. It was brown with a cream portion at the bottom. It was boiling and I just had that on with a strappy vest.

I went to get on the escalator at Manchester Piccadilly and the hem of my skirt got sucked into the top step bit. It started to eat my skirt, and the elasticated waist meant it just came down showing my thong. I had one hand at the top dragging it back over my crack and the other at the bottom yanking it out of the mechanism. After what felt like an eternity i managed to wrestle it back out.

The cream area was covered in black grease/oil but I thanked my lucky stars as it could have been so much worse.

ImMeantToBeWorking · 07/06/2019 08:12

Ah I am having a great laugh here!!

@Gertie75 your swimming story reminds me of a time on holidays I put my tankini top on backwards. I went down a slide and came out boobs out!! So many people saw too!! BlushBlushBlush

Not flashing but I had a pair of fake leather trousers in the late nineties, didn't know if you could wash them and they were looking a bit grubby so I decided to polish them with pledge. All good until I sat on a velvety sort of banqutte type seat in the pub and slid off at such high speed I hit my head on the table and knocked myself out! Highly embarrassing and very painful Blush

ImMeantToBeWorking · 07/06/2019 10:06

@tshirtsuntan I laughed way too hard at that! Sounds like something that would happen to me minus the need for plegde!!

Went to Bodrum in the early noughties and decided to try out the local water park. It was great, but I had to work myself up to going on the scariest looking slide there, the aptly named "Kamikaze" (on the right in the attached pic)

When I finally garnered the courage to try it out, I regretted it instantly as I hit the almost 90 degree drop, basically took off, landed, then shot down it like a bullet out of a gun. Upon entry, I must have splashed most of the water in the little pool out the sides.

Alresdy mortified at all the people with cameras and camcorders at the bottom, and somewhat shell shocked, I staggered in disorientated fashion back to my sun lounger, sat down, and realised that my bikini top was round my waist...

I stopped at a petrol station at the start of the journey to take dd1 back to uni. Whilst filling up I thought it was a bit breezy round my bum/top of legs but put it down to being a windy day. Went into shop to pay, came back and sat in the car & thought something didn’t feel right. Jumped out again and realised my jeans had split down a rear pocket and under my bum cheek Blush. I don’t know whether sitting back in the car had ripped it or if I had spent the whole time flashing everyone Shock. Thank goodness for big knickers Grin. I then had to drive 1 1/2 hrs to Exeter until we found a supermarket where I could buy a new pair of jeans!

ImMeantToBeWorking · 07/06/2019 13:12

@TurnipFish I am glad I am not the only one who splits the ass of their jeans. Makes me feel slightly better!! lol

@FrauleinF we are all mad flashers in here!

I was 16 at the time Princess Diana wore the strapless taffeta dress and started a fashion.

My mother was not well so I last minute accompanied my father to a very posh black tie event that he was hosting in my wonderful Lady Di dress!

In the greeting line my father managed to stand on the hem of my dress causing the whole bodice to fall down to my waist exposing my not inconsiderable boobs (no I wasn't wearing a bra!)

I kept saying "Daddy" to which he kept responding "give me a second darling" as he continued to speak to the people who were entering it was not until he said "let me introduce my daughter" some minutes later that he turned round again, looked and then said "what are you doing"

Mortifying totally Mortifying at the time but hilarious now.
