A WOMAN has been savagely slammed for her ‘inappropriate’ wedding guest dress.
The young woman explained that she ordered a new dress for an upcoming wedding, but was told by people that it looked ‘too revealing’.
As a result, ahead of the nuptials, the fashionista took to social media to ask for advice, leaving many open-mouthed.
But much to her surprise, many thought the dress was “too boobalicious” and “inappropriate” for a wedding.
Posting on Reddit, on the thread, the young woman, who writes under the username @BloodedMermaid, shared a snap of her posing in the dress.
She wore the long-sleeve, short mini dress, which has a plunge neckline.
Alongside the snap of the blue, floral frock, which has a tie detail at the front, the woman titled her post ‘Inappropriate for a wedding?’
The brunette beauty paired her dress with a strappy pair of heels and had her long legs and large breasts on display.
She then wrote: “So I got this new dress and wanted to wear it for a wedding.
“But a few people told me that my cleavage was too revealing.”
Confused by the negative comments about her pretty, floaty dress, the curly-haired girl questioned: “What do you think?”
Reddit users flocked to the comments to share their thoughts on the dress, with many totally stunned at the frock.
Not only did people think it was “too short” but others were concerned that the woman would be taking away too much attention from the bride and groom with the short dress.
One person said: “Too short and too boobalicious.”
Way too revealing and in the poorest taste for a wedding

Another added: “It’s not about you. It’s the bride & groom’s day. Period.”
A third commented: “Too much on display on someone else’s big day. Fine if you’re going to the beach.”
Dos and don’ts of wedding dress codes

Josie Griffiths said: I’ll never forget the wedding I went to in October 2022 where a guest wore a white dress.
It was ill-fitting, knee length and looked nothing like an actual wedding dress, but that didn’t stop everyone judging her.
The rules on wedding guest outfits – which are annoyingly loads stricter for women than they are for men – are meant to be about “not upstaging the bride”, which in reality is quite hard to do on someone else’s wedding day.
But if you get it wrong as a guest, you do end up looking a bit silly, and in front of loads of people who don’t know you personally.
It’s just not the occasion for your new white dress, as much as online stores love dumping them in the ‘wedding guest’ section.
I’d avoid anything too tight/short, and ditch super formal gowns unless the dress code calls for them – you don’t want to be in a full length sequin gown at a smart casual event.
Personally I don’t like black dresses either, it isn’t a funeral.
Otherwise you should be pretty safe. Technically wearing red means you’re in love with the groom, but that’s the kind of rule most people would scoff at nowadays.
I do always check what colour the bridesmaids are in, just to be safe, after the Spanish wedding where I watched them walk down the aisle in the exact same dress I’d had in my Asos shopping basket just weeks earlier.
If in doubt, safest to just double check with the bride… but if you’re already doubting your dress that might be all the answer you need.
Whilst someone else penned: “I’m shocked you have to ask, it’s too low cut and too short.”
At the same time, one user snapped: “Definitely looks like an outfit that I’ve seen an ex-girlfriend of the groom wear to a wedding to show off what he’s going to be missing.”
Not only this, but another user simply penned: “Attention seeking.”
If that wasn’t bad enough, one horrified person wrote: “Way too revealing and in the poorest taste for a wedding. The fabric looks cheap.
“Overall, it would be more attractive and sexier if you don’t put everything on display.”
