In a video on TikTok, Adriana explained that she was just minding her own business when the old lady snapped at her to “get rid of them.”
“Ma’am, we are in a recession,” she said in the video.
“Everyone is unhappy.
“I’m doing society a favor by looking this good!”
“A plunging neckline is the least of society’s problems right now,” Adriana added in the caption.
“I’m here to make other people’s day!
“You guys are no fun.”
Adriana told Daily Mail Online she thought the dress was “far from vulgar” but she realises “you can’t please everyone”.
“I’m used to people commenting on my body. It’s been happening since puberty,” she adds.
“I’ve always stood out because of my height and curves. It’s not often that people are rude about my appearance in real life, but it has definitely happened.”
People commented on the TikTok video, assuring Adriana to wear exactly what she wanted.
“I say, show them!!” someone wrote.
“You are beautiful!”
“As a lesbian, we thank you for your social commitment,” joked another.
Adriana responded, “It is an honor and a privilege to serve!
“Maybe I should run for office.”
Which style suits everyone best?
ACCORDING to the fashion pros at Fabulous, there’s a new style of clothing that suits all body shapes.
Low-cut silhouettes with a dropped waist have become hugely popular thanks to the 2000s fashion trend that took the catwalks, social media and of course the high street by storm.
First seen on the runways of luxury brands Molly Goddard and Jil Sander, the style is typically fitted around the hips and pelvic area rather than the waist.
Now that the sun is starting to shine, there are plenty of affordable dresses available that suit different body shapes.
Clemmie Fieldsend, fashion editor, said: “There’s something really stylish about these dresses and I love them.
“The simplicity of the top half combined with the full skirt resembles a tighter, more grown-up tutu.
“I have a short torso, so the dropped waist makes my body look longer, but luckily the long skirt doesn’t make your legs look shorter.
“Plus, it means I can get in on the low-waist trend without having to go completely naked in low-rise jeans.
“I know I’ll be walking around in these shoes all summer long, paired with black sandals and sunglasses, but for now all I need is a blazer over them and some closed-toe shoes and I’m good to go.”
Meanwhile, fashion director Tracey Lea Sayer added: “I remember drop-waist dresses from the ’80s. I loved them then and I still love them now!
“Forty years after they first became popular, I’m not sure they’re still as flattering around my waist. After two kids and a middle age barrier, my waistline no longer exists.
“A dress like this allows me to hide my waist and still stay trendy this summer.”
“As a straight married woman… I appreciate your service because the girls are GIRLS,” said a third.
“Just tell them ‘Merry Christmas, enjoy the Christmas bells,’” someone else suggested.
“I would have asked her why she’s looking at my girls in the first place!” admitted another.
“Jealousy is a curse! You look amazing!” someone else agreed.
As another wrote: “Please don’t throw them away girl, do what feels right to you!”
And Adriana insisted she wouldn’t let the comments discourage her.
“At this point in my life, I’m sure it’s always a reflection of that person’s insecurity, much more than the fact that that person is being trolled or booed!” she said.
