AIBU to ask what has been your most spectacular wardrobe malfunction?

[violetbunny]

So I got to work today and realised I completely forgot to put a bra on this morning...!

Luckily I'm not particularly large of chest and was wearing a dress that billowed out at the top, so I don't think anyone noticed. But it's certainly not my worst wardrobe malfunction - that would be the time I wore 2 totally different knee length boots to work (one with a stiletto, the other with a block heel - of course no one said anything until our team meeting, then cue lots of laughter at my amusing choice of footwear...!)

So AIBU to ask, what has been your worst fashion mistake or malfunction?

Bought a new floaty dress that was see through but had a flimsy modesty slip underneath.

I was walking round a shopping centre in my lunch break wondering why people were looking at me; assumed it was because I looked nice .

What I didn’t realise was that the dress was static and caused the slip to ride up to my waist. I had essentially been shopping my my pants!

First year secondary school - 1970s - we had to make our own wrap over P E skirt.

New fangled velcro was used for the fastening. The whole skirt fell off whilst I was running the 100 metres, finished about 4th, in gym knickers and with a red face. My mother kindly sewed on buttons and made button holes in the wretched garment after that.

So many but the highlights:

Took newborn DS1 to the supermarket in the sling. Felt v proud of myself for accomplished this feat. Got home to find a used, milky breast pad stuck to the back of my black jeans that had been there the whole time on full display.

Lots of skirts blown up in the wind/tube escalators (when will I learn?!)

The classic opening the door to the postman with my whole boob exposed from cluster feeding baby DS2.

At least twice have I tucked my skirt in to my tights and have had strangers kindly tell me. I've also told lots of women in the same situ as well!

I am a teacher (this is relevant).

Waiting with my class at pick-up time when there was a particularly strong gust of wind.

Quickly realised that wearing a lightweight and flippy skirt wasn't a very good idea. Luckily had tights on. Did a full Marilyn Monroe for just in time for all the parents who had begun to pour through the gate.

I did this in our garden the other day!! We live in military quarters, and the two guards on gate duty are situated right behind our garden (there's only a low, wire fence) so i'm certain they definitely saw

I put a pair of jeans on that had holes in the knee, I wore them the day before too, a few hours later I noticed yesterday's underwear coming out of one knee hole 😅

On holiday in Greece with some of my friends and one night the hotel had some Greek dancers. I was pulled up to join in and one of them held me length ways across his shoulders and span around. My friends were falling all over the place laughing and I looked down kid soon too see one of my (not small!) boobs was free and doing a nice lap of the restaurant. We left for a bar very soon afterwards!

*looked down to see

Had just moved house so clothes all packed up together. First day back at work I had people smiling at me everywhere- in the staff room, petrol station and local shop on my way home. Turns out I had a pair of lacy knickers stuck to the velcro on my coat hood!

Plenty to choose from but best/worst is probably sitting with my dog on my lap in a vet's waiting room. A delivery man came in with some things for the receptionist to sign for and my dog jumped up excitedly when he walked past and trod on the front of my shired top with his paw and pulled it down to my waist. I had opted not to wear a bra that day unfortunately.
Oh, and the time I went to school in white trousers, aged about 16, and unexpectedly came on in a pretty spectacular fashion in assembly and had to be taken home to change in the school secretary's car sitting on a newspaper. Fairly mortifying, really.

Fake tanned for a night out, and put on a new pair of white skinny jeans, feeling confident.

I got caught in a rainstorm leaving the train and spent the rest of the night skulking in dark corners so nobody noticed my blotchy tie-dyed orange and white trousers.

Lots and lots! Black and navy shoes, navy tights and black dress and shoes, inside out cardigans, baby snot on shoulder and/or baby sick on back, and one of the worst was sitting on a damp patch of beer on the bus, hopefully from the night before, had to buy a new dress on the way to work for that one, so smelly!

Very impressed with two totally different boots!

Isn't it annoying that so many of these are because of clothing being see through? Why can't manufacturers make clothes that aren't transparent?

Do men's clothes have this problem too?

I decided wear a white top to work on a lovely summer’s day. I went for my usual lunchtime walk during which I got caught in the pouring rain.

Now, I am not a morning person so unfortunately, when I was getting dressed while still half asleep I hadn’t put on the modest padded bra I intended to wear, but a thin lacy one. Result : my top half became completely see-through and I had to cross my arms over my boobs to prevent the entire office getting a free wet T-shirt show when I got back. Mortifying.

It was an itsy bitsy teeny weeny yellow spaghetti strap bikini
That flopped down on a chute waterslide
An itsy bitsy teeny weeny yellow spaghetti strap bikini,
My face went beetroot, I was so mortified!

I once wore a floaty, v neck style cami wrap top.

Drove home with one boob hanging out of it.

Trousers came down as I dived over an obstacle during a race.
The photographer sent the pictures to DH then deleted them. But everyone in the village knew, whether they had seen or not.
I was even presented with a special trophy at the end of the event.

I leant over a patient on a trolley at work and my skirt split from the bottom right up to the waistband!!

The belt on my wraparound dress broke whilst I was working on the shop floor of a department store serving a customer. It fell open to reveal my bodysuit and tights to the bloke I was serving.

Went to jump onto a tube train a split-second before the doors closed and my beautiful white shoe came off my foot and fell down onto the train track
I had to go one stop, get the train back in the other direction and then tell the station staff - all with one bare foot.
They actually retrieved it for me by stopping all the trains! Heroes.

Oh god, quite a few.

Sat down and split the back of my black pencil skirt. Frilly white knickers underneath so had to wrap a cardi around my waist.

Too many blouse buttons popping to mention.

Arrived at work, got out of car car and realised I wasn't wearing a bra. 32E so HAD to go home.

Wearing a blue strappy wrap dress on a hot summer night, I Was chatting to my boyfriend in a restaurant, he was crying with laughter and I was thinking I was so hilarious and entertaining. It turned out that I'd spent the last ten minutes, animatedly chatting while my left tit had escaped my wrap dress and was bouncing around, freely, with every gesture I made. Mortified didn't cover it. Luckily, there was only one other couple in front of me who didn't appear to notice.

Not me but my very lovely boss (customer facing role) recently had a breast exposed. Sheer top with an inside vest / lining thing, that had slipped down. Lacy bra underneath, large bosom, but for some reason her nipple perfectly poked right through one of the lace bits and was completely exposed, erect and a little hairy.

I wasn't 100% sure if it was malfunction or some sort of new trend

I once lost my bikini BOTTOMS on the rapids at Centre Parcs. I feel like this is a lot worse than top! Thank goodness I noticed. I froze and didn't know what to do. Thankfully a kind lady retrieved them for me, somehow

Had my shorts and underwear completely pulled down multiple times in rugby, you have to just carry on no matter what is on show.

@Faerysmoke I always envisage this happening as I climb on and off the train.

Mine was a wraparound skirt that decided to unbutton itself and come off in the street. I had to
Grab it and try to button the waistband back up.

I'm not sure if this counts, but i had a Same Dress Nightmare incident with one of my colleagues at a Christmas do.

They were both red and black cheongsam dresses, so we had a couple of 'can we have some more prawn crackers, please, Waitress' comments.

But we work mainly with men, so most of them didn't even notice, thank god...otherwise we would never have heard the end of it.
