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?

On a school trip to Eastern Europe in the late 1990s. We played that game where you have to bend down and pick up a cereal box from the ground with your teeth but without putting your hands on the ground. The best technique is to start by spreading your feet as far apart as you can so you’re lower down. I was wearing a pair of corduroy flares that had enormous flappy legs but were very tight at the top. As I bent down, the fabric across both buttocks ripped completely open.

As it was only a 3-day trip and I was a minging teenager, I didn’t have another pair of trousers with me, and it was before the days when all European cities had an H&M on every corner. So my kind teacher had to lend me a cardi to tie round my waist and I had to manage between that and PJ bottoms for the rest of the trip.

This one wasn't me but I know someone who accidentally wore odd shoes the first time she went to meet her new bfs parents. They weren't even a little bit odd they were two completely obviously different shoes.

I've told this before, but went on a date wearing a pale blue satin bra under a cream jumper (anything with lace looked bobbly. Not good). the overall look was meant to be demure. Got to the pub and ordered a drink. The barman's eyes were like saucers. My date arrived and his eyes were like saucers too. Now, I'd made an effort, but was starting to feel like I was having the piss taken out of me. Went to the ladies and looked in the mirror. Yup, my jumper was see through under the lights in the pub. All you could see was blue bra.

I have two... first one I wore a sexy miss massage outfit to a fancy dress party (I was very young and slim in those days!). Anyway went to the loo and for some reason unzipped it instead of just pulling it up...the zip snapped off!!

Cue me in Lacy black undies and stockings having to try and hold this around myself...happened to bump into a lad a knew who gallantly lent me his shirt to go home in

Next one wasn't too long ago, I bought a beautiful pencil skirt that zipped all the way up the back (there's a theme), wore it to the local one night...came back from the bar and thought "feels a bit weird"... yup zip had unzipped all the way up flashing my thong clad arse to a load of old men!

When ds was 3 weeks old I was very sleep deprived. However, I managed to get us all up in the morning, drop 3 year old dd off at nursery on time (had a quick chat with the staff) , whizzed round the supermarket with newborn ds, popped into the hospital for a blood test (and had nice chat with the phlebotomist). Sat on a bench outside and breastfed ds quickly and arrived home all by 10.00am.

When I got home I felt so accomplished. I'd successfully parented and adulted with 2 young dc. Took off my coat and realised that in the morning rush I'd forgotten to put on my skirt - I'd spent the morning prancing round in a short coat, a t-shirt and some 40 denier tights which did nothing to hide my massive post birth nickers.

@Cupidity this had my howling bless you!
