I was in a dress and heard ‘pop, pop, pop’ – it happened at the worst time
Experiencing a clothing problem can be downright humiliating.
One woman’s experience left her feeling embarrassed all day over a dress that had a mind of its own.

Reddit user Macrame lampshade posted the debacle in a comment on the platform.
“I wore one of my favorite dresses in terms of look,” she said.
“[The dress] always betrays me, as you will see.”
She was on her way to a tour of a gallery that would be attended by people from the fashion industry.
“I gained a few pounds, but I really wanted to wear this dress for some reason, so I brought my Spanx and figured I’d make do.”
WHERE IT ALL WENT WRONG
The closure of the dress was the biggest culprit in the disaster.
“I didn’t realize that it only closes with snaps,” she said.
“When I tried it at home, I was fine with leaving the bottom one open, leaving just a little gap, but I forgot that I still had to be able to function and sit.
“So I get all dressed up, this is the only dress I have on that day, mind you, I go downstairs to meet everyone, sit down and hear, ‘Pop pop pop pop.’
“Mind you, this is a dress that stands out quite a bit in this crowd. Even if I had sneaked out and changed, I wouldn’t have had anything else with me and someone would have noticed.”
She added that the rest of the event was not very forgiving.
“The gallery and snacks turned into lunch and a full day of sightseeing, where I wore a dress that was completely open in the front all day,” she said.
“Oh well, it was worth the photo opportunity.”
Other Redditors also shared their own wardrobe malfunctions in the thread.
“I was in a meeting presenting something standing up, so I was very visible,” said another.
“And [I] I didn’t realize that the top button of my blouse had come undone, leaving a lot of breasts and part of my bra exposed throughout the entire presentation.
“I was pointing my hands at the different slides so I’m sure everyone saw it right.”
“On my honeymoon in Europe I wore a flowy babydoll top,” wrote yet another. “And the wind came and blew it up so some people got a nice view of my bra lol.”
“As a bonus to my new boyfriend’s cousin’s wedding, I wore a super cute midi dress with a slit in the back. While dancing, I felt a tear and ran to the bathroom,” wrote another.
“The stupid thing was ripped all the way down to my ass. I found some safety pins and kind of salvaged the evening, but it was a super awkward way to meet his family members.”
