“Your Bum Is Literally Out”: Internet Baffled By Woman’s Short Dress For Brother’s Wedding
A woman sparked conversation on wedding etiquette after showing off the dress she designed for her brother’s nuptials.
“Cocktail dress code means short, right?” Paris Culbertson wrote alongside a video of herself in her atelier, showing the pattern of what would later be a light blue tutu dress.
The Melbourne content creator said that she had previously made several long formal gowns for other black-tie weddings, so, as the dress code was more relaxed this time, she wanted to wear a shorter dress.
Highlights
- Paris Culbertson sparked a debate by wearing a light blue tutu dress she designed to her brother's wedding.
- Many TikTok users criticized her dress as too revealing and inappropriate for a wedding, citing etiquette guidelines.
- Despite criticism, some users complimented her design, comparing it to something Carrie Bradshaw would wear.
“I definitely don’t dress my age, and I feel like this style of dress makes me look younger than I am, so I’m a little bit nervous about it. But I’m gonna push on,” said thefashion designer.

Cocktail wedding attire is slightly more elevated than semi-formal attire, but it is less formal than formal wedding attire (also known as black-tie optional), according toThe Knot. A suit is preferable for men, while women should opt for a midi cocktail dress, a formal jumpsuit, or something that hits just above the knee, the bridal magazine recommends.
“The most important idea to take away from the cocktail dress code is that your goal is to create an elegant look wearing a knee-length, tea-length [three to four inches above the ankle], or midi dress,” social etiquette advisor Maria Lucrecia Arguello told Brides Magazine.

Many people thought Paris didn’t adhere to the dress code and that her dress was too inappropriate for the occasion. One TikTok user wrote, “Maybe just buy a bridesmaid dress. Styling isn’t for everyone. That’s too short.”
“I would actually never speak to my sister again if she did this,” a separate user claimed.

In a subsequent post, Paris showed off the finished creation: a light blue dress with a dropped waist and bow in the front, which she paired with black high heels with silver detailing.
“Love the dress, but definitely not for a wedding,” another person chimed in, while someone else said, “Your whole rear end is hanging out. I would be upset if you wore that to my wedding. It’s inappropriate.”

Meanwhile, others complimented Paris on her design, saying, “A dress is never too short. This is a complete slay.”
“BIG Carrie Bradshaw vibes,” an additional user wrote.
“The dress is gorgeous and you look beautiful in it. It makes me sad that you don’t seem excited about it. you literally look AMAZING,” commented another person, to which the designer responded, “Thank you angel! I loved wearing it but had to brace myself to post it here.”

It's bold and unique, I love it!
It's not appropriate for a wedding.

The dress isn’t the problem. I think it’s her self-centered behavior of making the wedding more about herself than about the bride and groom. Your roll as a guest is just to look nice and show up rather than to grab attention for yourself with your dress. She seems to think it’s all about her and her dress. Only the bride and groom should really spend that much time and thought on wardrobe.
