A mum has been left stunned after a wedding outfit left her looking like a 'half-opened present.' Suzannah Smith had spent months looking for the perfect outfit for her best friend's wedding.
The 35-year-old says she had been at her 'absolute wit's end' after repeatedly ordering and returning outfits, until she finally found one on ASOS. Usually seen wearing leggings and baggy T-shirt's she says the outfit that arrived was a 'monstrosity'.
Suzannah had ordered a £123 textured organza mint co-ord hoping that the more 'adventurous' choice would be the one. Wales Online reports the hairdresser opted for an 18 in the skirt, despite being a size 16.
But the 'monstrosity' didn't fit and was a 'naff' material, almost like that of 'toilet paper print'. After her epic shopping fail, the mum-of-one shared a video of her donning the bold outfit on TikTok - and it's been a huge hit.
The footage, which shows her with a deadpan expression standing in the mirror lifting up her arm to show off the bow sleeves, has had a huge 782,500 views, likes and comments. "I looked like a half-opened present," she said.
The Huddersfield resident went on: "Somebody suggested that I could give myself as a gift to the bride and groom and wrap myself up as the present. I think one of the comments said I looked like a 'crumpled bog roll'."
Suzannah added: "I was going to one of my best friend's weddings and was at my absolute wits end trying to find something. I started looking six months before the wedding to try and find something and nothing was coming up trumps.
"I ordered it out of desperation, I'm not going to lie. I thought 'oh it looks really nice on her and it's a nice colour'.
"I do like to look glam but I'm a new mum and haven't been feeling very glam recently. I'm used to leggings and a baggy t-shirt these days. So I thought I'd be a little bit more adventurous and try something new and then that monstrosity showed up."
Normally opting for black clothes, she said she went for something 'different' when she splashed the cash on the pastel-coloured outfit. My initial thought was that the fabric wasn't good quality but I honestly thought the skirt was going to fit me because when I held it up it looked so massive.
"I thought 'there's no way my ass is that big', that wasn't the case. I thought 'it's got to be alright' because I ordered a size bigger than I normally order because it was a pencil skirt.
"I'm a curvier girl so I didn't want it to be too skin-tight and I couldn't even get it zipped up. The top fit fine but obviously the model had somebody there on hand to arrange it for her and make it look nice but it looked like it was made from a really stiff fabric.
"The texture of it was like toilet paper print, it was just so naff." When Suzannah finally settled on an outfit for the big day it proved to be a winner.
"I ended up wearing a black jumpsuit with pink dots with a vintage 80s florescent pink jacket and pink converse," she explained. "I got loads of compliments about how lovely I looked, so it worked out."
