to have worn red lycra to a wedding?

[UncouthLostYouth]

From Jane Norman.

Why, did somebody say that you were BU?

Would need more info on the garment to form an opinion here though

Picture of the dress please.

It, really obviously, depends. Outfit?

To many variables to make a judgement.
-what kind of wedding?
-are we talking a dress or a gimp suit?
-are you a size 30?
-are you a man?

Well it depends

Were you the bride?
Was it a leotard?

It wasn't a Chinese wedding was it?

This?

Was it a pair of cycling shorts? .

A bit like this.

It was 5 years ago.

Mother of bride mentioned my dress to me a little disapprovingly last week

I should have gone for what MrsTerry suggests...

That looks lovely. If only I had the figure.

5 years ago and she only just complains now????????

I love it btw

(I should perhaps emphasise - that's what the dress looked like, not my figure...)

YWBU. Red lycra should only be worn at Christenings as any fule no... x

Look at it this way. You obviously made an impact on her

A bit unreasonable yes. It's a bit of a LOOK AT ME, LOOK AT ME dress.

A friend once said Jane Norman's stuff is what your DH's OW is wearing. I was wearing a top from there when she said it.

Sounds pretty tacky but it's not a wedding without someone poured into a bit of bodycon lycra.

Obviously you had all the male guests tongues hanging out and she felt you took the attention away from her dd on her big day.

I wore an extremely tight emerald green dress to my DB's wedding about 10 years ago. You live and learn.

Wow, five years later.. You made an impact!! Seriously though, she's still ruminating on this?! Motherofthebridezilla..

bit of a LOOK AT ME, LOOK AT ME dress
Oh dear, perhaps it looked a little that way in retrospect... I was young(ish) and stupid.
Yes, am a little gobsmacked that her mum remembered it after all this time.

Curly, that sounds rather lovely

Sounds pretty tacky but it's not a wedding without someone poured into a bit of bodycon lycra. Ha! Good to serve a purpose

Wtf? Jealous cow, much? Only women with superb figures can fit into Jane Norman stuff anyway. Good on you, OP.

Red is a great colour for Chinese weddings, and here it symbolises passion, energy, success, love - why not wear it to a wedding?

Women who bitch about other peoples' clothing choices for years need to get a life.

Must have been a hell of a dress to be talked about 5 years later!
"There is only one thing in life worse than being talked about, and that is not being talked about."

It was a Karen Millen. It was gorgeous. But - it was a LOOKATME dress and people did and I don't think my SIL will ever forget that.

I'd be horrified if someone did it to me, but as I say - you live and learn.

I'm not really surprised MOTB remembers it/you... you limelight stealing floozy!
