Bride mocked for ‘hideous’ home adjustments to $1 wedding dress she ‘bought at a jumble sale’
A BRIDE has been mocked for the "hideous" home adjustments made to her wedding dress - which she bought at a jumble sale for just 78p ($1).
Posting on Facebook, the American woman explained she "fell in love" with the second-hand gown when she saw it being sold in someone's front garden.
Realising it was much too long for her, and feeling the design was "too simple", she asked a mate for help.
Bizarrely, her friend chose not to hem the dress from the bottom, but in three places around the stomach - creating a triangle design and leaving an unflattering bump at the sides.
She added: "I asked a friend if he knew how to hem it up to make it better.
"This is the end result I love the wrinkles don't like the bump but don't know what to cover it up I can't take it out cause it's holding up the wrinkles!
"Any suggestions what to cover it up with? My fiance said a rose".
The snap was shared on the Wedding Shaming Facebook group, where the poster said: "I think this speaks for itself. Throw the whole dress away.
"PS they dragged her in the comments in the nicest way."
Commenting on the post, horrified people said: "Ugh that's super ugly" and "Fire, fire will fix it."
Others joked: "Looks like the beginnings of tie-dyes we would do at camp".
While one lady slammed: "Another dress. Cover it up with another dress. Bet she’s happy with that 'you get what you pay for' investment now."

One woman labelled it a "train wreck" and another said: "This is just sad."
Others suggested hiding the lumps with "a blanket", "a bin bag" or "6395628 layers of tulle to cover that mess up".
In more wedding shaming news, this bride-to-be was mocked for combining her and her fiance’s birthstones in an engagement ring and people think it looks like ‘ketchup and mustard’.
