To be annoyed with my friend about my dress?

This is a fairly minor issue, but I am genuinely interested to know if I am being unreasonable as I am relatively annoyed with a good friend of mine. I have had my sister agree with me and another friend think I am bonkers.

This good friend has recently lost quite a bit of weight and is looking absolutely gorgeous. I am so happy for her, she's had a shit year. We are going out tonight for a couple of cocktails to celebrate her weight loss and to toast all the good things that will happen in 2013.

Last week she was in my house and said she had nothing to wear. So we went up and looked through all my dresses. She picked out a dress that would be stunning on her. I said "By all means you are welcome to borrow it, it's a good dress that I've only worn once to a wedding but of course you can wear it".

She took it home to try on.

Then today she posted pictures on Facebook of herself wearing the dress to a nightclub last night! I was Shock that she hadn't texted to ask if that was ok. I would have said no by the way because nightclubs are a bit tough on dresses.

My sister agrees that it's a bit cheeky of her to wear it to a club, other friend says I loaned her the dress so she was entitled to do what she wanted with it.

I will see her tonight, in my dress, and I don't know whether to say anything or not (really don't want to spoil the evening), or just to keep my trap shut and not lend her things in the future.

What do you think?

YANBU: She should have asked if she could wear it to the club. As stuntgirl says, she should also get it repaired and cleaned, as necessary.

Given what you have written, I disagree with those posters who say she should do as she wants with it.

I can only think there has been a misunderstanding. Did she realise that you were loaning it for a specific night out or did she think it was hers for a while to do with as she pleases? Maybe she even thinks its hers to keep??!

Lesson - don't lend your clothes to anyone. I wouldn't - ever.
