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?

Late for work threw on yesterday's trousers. Standing in the front of the shop selling a lawnmower to a customer felt a ticklish feeling around one ankle. Gave my foot a good shake, out flew a pair of black lacey knickers, I looked down saw them lying there, bent down grabbed them and stuffed them up my jacket sleeve . I couldn't look the customer in the eyes after that 😚

This was my own fault... Had a row with my housemate about laundry going missing / getting muddled so labelled my new pants with my full name in block capitals using a black marker pen. I had an audit at work and as I reached across the table to explain some paperwork I realised my low rise trousers exposed the blatantly labelled waistband of my pants.

@Bella43 I love you. You are just like Bridget Jones.

I once went out with new friends in a nice tiered midi skirt and vest to a pub beer garden. I walked across the garden into the pub to the toilet and realised the full seam of one of the tiers was undone right across my backside. Thankfully I had full size knickers on and not a thong but was flashing my full bum. I somehow had to twist the skirt round so the massive hole was at the side and fold it over and tuck into my knicker leg. I didn't mention it to the friends as it was only the second time I had met them

I also once went to work with mascara on only one eye.

Was going to a wedding reception wearing a very fitted pale long dress.
Friend picked me up in her car and after a few miles I started feeling a bit damp on my bottom. Mentioned it to my friend and she said she'd spilt a drink on the passenger seat the day before, she'd cleaned it up with soapy water and had thought it had dried.
Obviously the weight of my bum had pushed the material down to where it hadn't quite dried.
I was a bit annoyed at the thought of walking in with a damp patch on my bum but I thought if I just stand with my back against the wall until it dries no-one will notice - it was a lovely summers evening so didn't think it would take long.
Sure enough, after about an hour and several surreptitious strokes of my bum/back of my dress, it felt dry so began to move around a bit more, chatting to the other guests until my friend grabbed me.
The drink she spilt was Coke and she hadn't cleaned it very well so my dress had dried but it had left a questionable brown patch on the back of my dress, on my bottom!!
I looked like I'd had diarrhoea and not made it to the toilet in time!
I spent the rest of the evening either back against the wall or sat down whilst watching my friends dancing 😡

Wearing an almost knee length flappy skirt, knee length boots, my standard work outfit. It was a windy day, up went my skirt, over my face. I got it down ASAP, but I’d been walking through the quad, surrounded by classrooms. Horrifying.

Not a malfunction, but I went storming across the field in an ankle length black evening dress and yard boots to catch in the horse one day. I was fuming that I had to attend an evening work function, fortunately work was literally round the corner from the yard.

I had a horse on trial which the yard owner had brought for me to try. He got on first then I got on. I was incredibly nervous and forgot I was wearing my backpack, which jiggled up and down as I trotted the horse round. 🤦🏼‍♀️ He made me take it off. So shamed.

I once went to work on a client secondment. It was the kind of place where everyone starts early so the car park was always rammed. I ended up with some really bad parking choices and picked a spot with a puddle which turned out to be really large. Being a lithe 20 something I decided to jump out of the car and over the puddle. Big mistake. My tight skirt split from a respectable ‘above the knee’ to a shocking ‘just under the arse’. I couldn’t just drive home as had to show face so ended up pinning my skirt together and hiding as much as I could. It was so traumatic I can’t remember much else about the day!

Somehow between getting dressed and arriving at work the entire arse of my trousers had ripped out unbeknownst to me. If it wasn't for my TA I would have breezed out onto a playground full of parents with my backside and knickers in full view. As it was I fashioned a hoodie waist wrap legged it to Tesco (up the road)and bought some replacements. There was much hilarity in the staffroom.😳

About 15 years ago - I put my foot up onto a chair to tie up shoelaces and my jeans split spectacularly right down the line between my buttocks. I had to go home with my hoodie tied round my waist and hope no one noticed!

In my twenties, a lovely cotton wraparound mini skirt. Somehow, as I was striding along confidently, it decided to unwrap itself completely and fall to the ground...

Ditto. But mine was a long skirt not a mini!

@Bearnecessity good to see it's a more common occurrence than I thought!

I work on call for a hospital, got a call in the middle of the night to do a very quick 5 min scan so just threw a jumper on over my pj top. It obviously turned into a very long major trauma, high pressure, lots of running back and forth, every consultant in the place there coming in and I’m sweating buckets and not able to take off my jumper, it was a long night....

Norugratsatall .... I am ashamed to say it was not the first time my trousers ripped on the bum at work, I would blame the trousers but really 'tis my bum...😆

On a hot summer's Saturday night I was in vest, shorts and bare feet, and popped out of my top floor flat to put the bin out. The door slammed shut behind me. None of my neighbours were in and my phone was in the flat so I was stumped as to what to do. I ended up walking 1/2 mile in bare feet to the nearest police station and sitting in their waiting room for 3 hours while they found an emergency locksmith to let me back in. I got so many funny looks - from the police and everyone they brought in that night.

My wedding dress was see through.

Not on purpose.

Wore a dress to dd graduation than I'd been trying to diet myself into. It had a zip up the back and was still on the tight side so I was shallow breathing all day.

Halfway through the ceremony I coughed and felt the zip burst open all down the back...fortunately was wearing a cardigan and dd had a box of safety pins for attaching her graduation gown so had to hide in the corner of the venue while she pinned me up in time for the post ceremony meal. If it had been a hot day and I'd not had my cardigan on I'd have been royally screwed.

Walking through the playground at school as a teenager when a pair of my used knickers fell out of my trouser leg.

Out for the night in the early 2000s wearing a handkerchief top. Sat waiting for a friend in the taxi. Noticed the driver kept peering at me in the rear view mirror. When my friend got in she kindly tucked my boob back into the hanky for me

I jumped off a diving board into the pool, wearing a bikini. The top came right off and I had to swim around looking for it and put it back on treading water. Luckily the pool wasn't very busy.

I took a flight home straight from attending church in a dress and black tights. The tights kept falling down and I was wearing proper granny pants so I couldn't even take them off, just had to keep hoiking them up.

On the same day, I went straight from the airport to a do at the Royal Albert Hall. Security opened my suitcase, clocked my dirty bra and knickers on top and said they didn't need to search any further

No wardrobe but period related. Had horrible feeling down below on way to work. Ended up covered in blood on grey pants when I arrived. Through 2 sets of protection too. Had to go back home and change. 30 mile round trip. I always bring spare clothes to work now.

SexyGiraffe...I have no words....

ReluctantEarlyRiser....that is so funny...your poor teenage self...I experienced that but in the privacy of my own home....

Attending a funeral when dd2 started crying, so took her & toddler dd1 out.

Was sitting on a bench bf'ing dd2 when - horribly - dd1 clocked the children's area of the cemetery, all colourful teddy bears & windmills, & set off towards it at speed.

So I ran after her, wailing dd2 clutched to my flapping bosom, tits akimbo, & brought her down with an impressive tackle just before she snatched a windmill off some poor deceased dc's grave.

It turned out that the crem had an enormous picture window looking out on to this area, so literally every IL in my life was treated to this spectacle.

The general consensus at the wake was that Uncle Fred would have been absolutely delighted to have a streaker at his funeral but still...

Love this! 😂

At Walt Disney World in the Magic Kingdom very stupidly wearing a backless top when a huge gust of wind came along and gently lifted my top up, completely exposing my entire chest to a line of men sitting together on a low wall. Took me far longer than you’d expect to get it down, it just sort of kept billowing up and just wouldn’t come down Luckily I was 21 and had spectacular (pre-children) boobs.

Had a friend start a new job and the boots she was wearing completely fell apart first thing in the morning. They looked like comedy clown shoes with the entire sole just flapping away . Luckily it was payday and she could run out and replace them.

Another friend had a really horrible incident when she suddenly and quite unexpectedly vomited while on the toilet at work. She was sick right into her trousers and had to clean herself up as best she could and go home.

Second day at a new job, joined the team for lunch on the balcony. The table was flanked by bench seats so had to swing my leg over to sit down. I was wearing a semi tight skirt which split halfway! I had to borrow a scarf until I could get to the shops and buy a new skirt!
