Taste is subjective… up to a point. When it comes to fashion, there are some design decisions out there that might just make most of you Pandas recoil in horror. And these fashion disasters, or as we so lovingly call them, ugly dresses, get shamed on the popular Facebook group, ‘You can’t just slap some fabric together and call it a dress.’
And they’re right; you really can’t just slap some fabric together and call it a dress. And the proof is the photos from the group that we’re featuring today, dear Pandas. Scroll down for the cream of the crop, the worst of the worst of ugly dresses, be it ugly prom dresses or ugly homecoming dresses.
As you’re scrolling down, don’t forget to upvote the pics that you enjoyed the most, whether you loved the sheer horror of these ugly dresses or you’re actually a fan of the designs. And if you’re interested in swimming in some more bad taste, why not check out Bored Panda’s previous article about the Facebook group? It’s a cut above the rest with a myriad of ugly wedding dresses, dubious fashion choices, and designs gone awry.

Totally Invisible
YES! Like the 80s show where the little girl was a robot and had the batteries under her dress! Small Wonder?
Load More Replies...Now that's an idea! If I talk too much and someone tells me "zip it up," I'll show them the tattoo!
Load More Replies...That sucks because they did a really good job matching the fabric. It really was invisible. Til the zipper.
That's right, all the matching-expertise got used up on the fabric, nothing left for the zipper.
Load More Replies...As opposed to what other sort of skin? I don't see any leopard-skin on her.
Load More Replies...I believe you all missed the point. It's a zipper disguised as a dress. Dah!
Thanks for the advice, but I never did buy from them.
Load More Replies...I can't see the invisible zippers... always made my partner groan and pretend not to know me at the fabric store.
Looks like they put a tent zipper on that dress and called it a day.
Easier for the face-hugging lizard people to remove their body suits.
Disgusting dresses. Non are a woman’s shape!! Absolutely revolting! A bin bag has more shape!!
This is homemade bc no designer would make a zipper this big for this dress. Ugh
Not even sure what 'look' she was going for or message she might be trying to convey
That’s just an alien wearing a people suit and her zipper is showing.
Does anybody else feel an almost uncontrollable urge to unzip this?
Taking time off from store window dummy work, they zip her down to restuff when she goes flat.
I had a similar dress but with black sheer instead of clear sheer. I wore it one time and never have again.
The song "Because I got high" is playing in my head looking at this dress
The top is sheer fabric. You have to zoom in to see it.

Just... Why?

What. Even. Is. This? I Will Say It's A Pretty Good Advertisement For Her Waxer
MoschiNO!!!!
Obviously People With More Money Than Me Don't Have To Move Their Arms
I Hope Everyone Can Agree With Me On This One
I just couldn’t leave the house so exposed, and with the realistic possibility of a very embarrassing wardrobe malfunction, even if I had a perfect body. Putting everything on display isn’t sexy. It’s actually just trashy, and kind of pathetically desperate. Don’t let the guys gaslight you into thinking going around nearly naked makes you a strong and secure woman. They’re just saying that to fool you into wearing revealing crap like this. Being more covered—-yet confident, really interesting, alluring, and someone everyone wants to know—-and leaving what’s underneath up to the imagination of anyone seeing you, is way way sexier than going out in public nearly naked.
I Can’t Even Think Of The Words To Describe This. Literally Looks Like A Denim Black Hole

Hey, if Superman can wear his underwear on top of his clothes, why can't she wear her bra on top of her dress?

Because the only people who can get away with wearing crap like this don’t have boobs (interpret this however you wish, as long as the chesticles are flat), so it really doesn’t matter.

A Wedding Dress Submission. Bonus, Here's The Groom
I got married in a light blue floral tea dress - if this is what they wanted for their wedding then leave them be, they don't look bad - it's not everyone's taste but that's ok, your wedding is about those getting married, more people should do and wear what they want for their day

This Dress Felt Appropriate To Post Here
It's a gorgeous piece of work but I'll never understand wanting your a**e out for everyone to see - I guess some folk are into that but not for me, I like my butt hidden under fabric

You Can Not Tell Me That This Dress Does Not Looks Like A Used Tampon
I'm convinced that "Fashion" really just means "Let's make hot people look as dumb as we can"
This, upvoted by the group of people that loved those cheap denim monstrosities and defended them in unison.
Load More Replies...Some of the dresses look like something that they would wear at RuPaul's Drag Race
Maybe on the sewing challenges. Hot glue and a dream!
Load More Replies...I think most fashion designers are just having a laugh and seeing how far they can go before someone says no.
That is absolutely the truth! Some of them are insisting that they are "creating Art" & a few have even admitted their designs aren't meant to actually be worn.
Load More Replies...I just could not look at all these. Gave up after about 20. Truly ugly outfits; so sorry for the models who had to parade in them. (But not sorry for anyone wearing one by choice who thought it was just brilliant!)
Many of these dresses look like stuff worn at fashion shows or big events. In other words, not for everyday wear. Still make me wonder about the designers, though.
I think these designs are from a bunch of rich artists and designers with nothing to do, so they make these "clothes" with the intention of making an art statement rather than making actual clothes you could buy in stores.
They do it for the free publicity -- and considering they've even got people on Bored Panda talking about it, I guess it works
Load More Replies...Especially when we're fighting so hard for respect and equality. It seems like the longer we fight for it, the lower the bustline goes.
Load More Replies...I like looking at a lot of these as art pieces, but like people actually buying them to wear them in public seems stupid
I’m sure some designers just like to stick! For these aren’t just UGLY, they are nutso!!
That denim mess wasn't quite as bad as the hideous sheer pants the guy next to her was wearing!
Now I have something to show friends and family why I say I NEVER follow fashions.
The runway ones have been hilariously ridiculous for I-don't-know-how-many years now. Nobody wears those. I would be interested in photos of bad dresses people actually wore voluntarily (or which were spotted in a legitimate shop). But if we're going for runway dresses, these are nowhere near the worst ones.
I don't understand the objective of this post. Why should we be encouraged to shame anyone? Personally, I wouldn't ever want someone to feel ashamed, embarrassed, incompetent, or not good enough for something as trivial as the clothes they wore or made. Too many of us get enough of that in our day-to-day lives. Instead, the shame should be directed at BP for such a thoughtless post.
Fashion shows always have ridiculous designs. The idea is to promote a trend, so, like one part of the outfit.
So you dream of working as a model, because they get to wear fancy clothes? Maybe you should look at this… You know it’s always nice to have a plan B
Do they call it "high fashion" because the people that design it are high when they do it?
It shouldn't matter what someone is wearing. Finding fault in a piece of cloth is insane. I don't know why people do this!. Is it to make you feel good about yourself because your tearing someone else down? I want to understand but it's senseless.
No one’s thinking less of the models because of what they’re wearing, just laughing at the clothes themselves. The fabric is fine, it’s the way it’s put together and the fact that it looks ridiculous that people are laughing about. Just like laughing about badly designed buildings that have stairs leading to nowhere or stuff like that.
