One woman’s choice of attire certainly got her into some hot water on her sister’s big day.

One Reddit user whose account has since been deleted explained how her family thought her ceremony attire was rather unceremonious.

She described her style as being “pretty gothic” ever since she was a teenager.

That might explain why she wore a black mini dress, tall black boots, and black fishnets to the white veiled occasion.

She revealed that she chose a Dolls Kills midnight blind faith velvet dress for the equivalent of around $72, and platform lace-up Demonia trashville boots for $108.

Still, she didn’t understand why so much drama ensued over her choice of dress.

“My makeup wasn’t extreme it was pretty light and basic. I’d never been to a wedding before so I didn’t really know how to dress so I thought a nice dress would be fine,” she said.

It didn’t take long, however, for the family feud to begin.

Not wanting to add fuel to the fashion fire, she remained quiet even after the first shots were fired.

“When I got to the ceremony my mom muttered something about what I was wearing being inappropriate, then she walked away,” she said.

“I didn’t say anything because I obviously didn’t want to start a fight on my sister’s wedding day,” she continued.

Things only intensified at the after-party.

“My mom started complaining to me about what I was wearing and said I was taking the focus off my sister because people were staring at me,” she said.

She was adamant that this was not at all her intention and that she was not attracting as much attention as her “mom made out.”

Still, her mom’s concerns were minor compared to the steam emanating from her sister.

“A little later my sister came over and said that I was selfish for what I was wearing and asked me if I was trying to ruin her big day,” she said.

This was followed up by some name calling.

“She called me a slut and an attention whore and we almost got into an argument but she walked away because she said that she won’t let it ruin her day,” she said.

After the dress drama, she decided to leave – but things didn’t end there.

“My mom was texting me the next day and telling me to think about people other than myself for once and basically said that I just wanted attention.”

Other close family members including her dad took her mom and sister’s side, but she was still confused and didn’t think it was such a “big deal.”

Etiquette expert Lisa Grotts spoke with Brides about some standard wedding guest dress rules.

“As a guest, it’s your job to ensure that you’re respectful of the couple’s wishes,” she said.

Grotts also says to stay clear of some wedding no-nos including wearing anything white, matching the wedding party, donning something too revealing, or being too casual.

She couldn’t stop wondering if she was in the wrong and took to the platform to find out if she was the a**hole.

People certainly didn’t hold back from choosing sides.

“You’ve never been to a wedding so you didn’t know what to wear?You’ve never seen a movie? Also just ask someone,” wrote one user.

“You would also know that weddings are important days and that people with goth fashion tend to pull focus a bit,” she added.

“You would also know that brides wear white and black would stand out against it.”

“You’re the a**hole because you dressed more for a goth club night, not a standard wedding. You’re supposed to fit in as a wedding guest, not stand out excessively,” said another Reddit reader.

“If you had to wear black than a more traditional cocktail dress would have been the way to go,” she added.

“If you’re dressing goth all the time, I’m surprised your mom/sister didn’t check in with you before the event to see what you were planning to wear.”

“Next time you go to a wedding, look up wedding attire for a guest. Seriously. What you did was wrong,” said one reader.

“Yep. I was a punk rock girl, but not at other people’s weddings,” yet another chimed in.

“The dress on its own would probably have been acceptable. But pairing it with the boots and fishnets? Yeah not great, unless that’s the whole vibe of the wedding,” said one user.
