Wedding guest slammed for wearing a leopard print ‘lingerie’ slip dress to pal’s big day
PUTTING together the perfect outfit for your friend's big day is all about striking the right balance.
You want to look nice (but not too nice) and wear something trendy which will also look equally amazing when you look back at photos in 30 years time.
But most of all, you really just don't want to draw any attention away from the bride on her special day. Right?
However, one wedding guest is running the risk of upstaging her pal by wearing a leopard print slip dress which has been likened to "lingerie" online.
Posting a photo of the trendy satin slip on a forum, the woman wrote: "I'm attending a wedding in August that I'd like to wear this dress for.
"The couple have requested cocktail attire. What do y'all think?"
The figure-skimming, strappy dress was designed by Australian fashion house Carol Skoufis and features a cowl neckline.
And while the trendy design certainly wouldn't look out of place on our Instagram feeds, others users of the American forum have taken issue with the revealing design.
One wrote: "It doesn't look like cocktail attire to me. It looks like a nightgown. I'd keep looking."
Another replied: "Depending on the fabric, it might constitute cocktail. But I wouldn't wear it to a wedding.
"Just doesn't look appropriate for any wedding I've been to. Unless the wedding is at a zoo..."
While a third user acknowledged the trendy design, they replied: "Anytime I see that much leopard print in one print nor on an actual leopard and a silky dress format, I assume it was intended as lingerie"
Similarly, another mused: "It's not white but it kind of looks like lingerie to me. It's up to you at this point."
Meanwhile, one user pointed out: "It's not a typical wedding guest dress but that's what makes it fun"
"It's fun to mix things up and wear something out of the ordinary. There's nothing vulgar or obscene about the dress so if you like it, go for it!"
