Today, I posted a pic of my prom dress on facebook. The dress looked amazing on me and it just felt so right. So I spent every single dollar I had and some borrowed to buy the dress. When I logged on later that night, the first comment asked "Is this a joke?" FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my prom dress finally arrived. My prom was yesterday. FML
Today, I finally bought the expensive but beautifully stylish dress I've been eyeing for ages online. Ten minutes later, I went back to check the shoes the model was wearing so I could coordinate my outfit. The dress had been reduced to half price. FML
Today, I bought an expensive dress because it was me and my boyfriend's one year anniversary, and he was taking me somewhere nice. When he saw me in the dress, he looked at me, laughed and said, "Seriously, what are you wearing?" FML
Today, I was excited about my friend going wedding dress shopping, so before I went to go work out, I decided to try on a prom dress from high school to remember what it felt like to get dressed up. It was too tight, I broke the zipper, and spent 45 minutes trapped before I cut myself out. FML
Today, I wore a beautiful new dress that I got for £5 only in a sale. I've been turning heads in it all day. When I got home, my mum pulled the massive red £5 tag off of the back. FML
Today, I went to buy my prom dress. I felt really good as I walked out of the dressing room, until someone walked out of the room next to me wearing the same dress, and looked better in it than I did. It was a man buying it for his drag show. FML
Today, I tried on a dress for prom. It took a while to zip, but I insisted it'd fit. I asked for help. When the lady finally managed to zip all the way, the dress completely ripped at the seams. Not only did I have to pay $169 for it, but the lady told me, “We have more dresses in the plus-sized section!” FML
Today, I bought a new, expensive dress for a date. I left the tag on and hidden in hopes of returning it later. Someone saw it and ripped it off for me to "save me from embarrassment." FML
Today, I finally lost enough weight to fit into the beautiful dress that I ordered for my senior prom. I graduated from high school in 2010. FML
Today, I went to a thrift store and found heaps of clothes that I loved that fit me perfectly. Then I found a special distinctive dress. My dress. My dad had thrown away heaps of my clothes and I had to buy them all back. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

What did he mean by 'Is this a joke?' If he was referring to you wearing a super skanky dress that cost $3850, then yeah its a joke. But if it was just any other prom dress, delete that dumb person.

Exactly. Unless you're marrying a prince or you're the next Ellen Page, where else are you going to wear that long, ridiculously low cut, sequined dress? Undead prom queen for Halloween and next year's proms aren't great answers. I guess that also explains what I'll be doing if ever get married. I might pull a Britney Spears though.

Showing off your dress on facebook is probably your biggest faux pas. Were you fishing for compliments? And maybe you should shop within your budget. It's only one night, and if you spent all your money how will you pay for shoes, handbag, nails, makeup, hair, jewelry, the actual prom tickets, limo hire, etc? FYL, not because someone dared make a comment not showering you in compliments, but because you have no sense when it comes to money

Oh honey, don't even worry about what other people think. As long as it's a dress that you love and feel beautiful in, that is all that matters. Don't let other people's opinions ruin your special night.

Don't worry about them. The important thing is that you're happy. A lot of the times too stuff looks completely different in a picture than in real life. The picture of my prom dress is ugly but in real life the dress is really pretty.

I like to believe that girls dress to impress other girls since most guys could care less how elegant the dress their date wears to prom is. Just like guys try to impress other guys with their muscles and how much they can life and the penis waving going on in the shower room! Good times... >.>'

As a smart woman once said: Girls do not dress for boys. They dress for themselves, and of course, each other. If girls dressed for boys, they’d just walk around naked at all times.

YDI for thinking spending shit loads fo money on a dress you'll only wear once is important.

#83: Just try to weed through the nasty comments and find the good ones. As long as you love the dress, wear it proudly and have an amazing time! It's all about how YOU feel in the dress. Btw, did the commenter ever specify why they said what they did?
