In her post, she showed off the dress in question. It was a short, thigh-length, bodycon dress, with ruching down the front.
"My boyfriend says my dress is good, but I’m not sure if it’s too tight/short or even wedding-appropriate," she said.
"My boyfriend is Indian so that’s why I was trying to rely on him to help me. It’s a Pakistani wedding but very Americanized.
"There will be a lot of mixed cultures there and I don’t want to stand out," she wrote in her appeal to Redditors for advice.
Their reaction was universal: Find another dress.
This person summed up the view of others: "No. It’s too short, tight, and casual. It looks great on you but more for date night than a wedding."
"Ummmmm … no!!! Lol… way too short!!!" another agreed.
It was a similar reaction from this person: "Too tight and short. I could be wrong but I’d imagine a Pakistani wedding would be more conservative."
But this person had a suggestion: "I’d go for something longer and a little more glamorous. From what I know of Middle Eastern/South Asian weddings, they tend to go all out."
