Fashion can be, at times, a bit confusing. While there certainly are concepts and styles that we mere mortals simply can’t comprehend, there are also a decent amount of designs that look more like an accident in a garment factory. 

The evocatively named “You can’t just slap some fabric together and call it a dress” Facebook group is dedicated to shaming the absolutely worst dress designs out there. So get comfortable as you scroll through, be sure to upvote the worst fashion victim and share your thoughts in the comment section below.

Kanye's wife. There's something very sad going on with her. So desperate for attention she walks around almost naked, but too unsure of herself to actually let it all hang out. Head down, no smile, clutching a childs toy to cover her nakedness, its almost like she's ashamed to be seen.

While it’s a very valid question to ask “Who even designs these things?” it’s also important to consider who buys them. In some cases, it’s very obviously a model on a runway. For better or worse, they don’t really have a choice, they are just a canvas for someone to showcase their clothing. 

However, some of these images are clear cases of fashion victims. If you have not encountered this term before, here is a crash course. Fashion, trends, and fads are ceaseless, year to year, season to season, even month to month. Some people not only don’t know how to keep up but don’t really know where good taste starts and ends. Some of the individuals in this list no doubt fall into this category.

I Saw This On Insta Earlier And Knew Where It Belonged. I Absolutely Hate It, But I Wanna Know What Others Think

Midas Moore Report

After all, to an untrained and somewhat tasteless eye, some of these downright terrible dresses are, instead, provocative and “different,” never mind the fact that they look terrible. Of course, the most common way to do this is to simply buy whatever is most expensive, preferably with a gaudy, outward-facing logo. The fact that the item might not actually look good is completely secondary

To be fair her job is to wear the outfits and get paid a ridiculous amount of money for it... if I looked like her and was offered 10k to walk down a runway in half a giant chef's hat then I'd do it

Saving For National Dress As Your Favourite Vegetable Day

Saving For National Dress As Your Favourite Vegetable Day

Lauren Williams Report

Fashion experts actually have a term for this, the “walking billboard.” Most famous brands do have cheaper items, perhaps for casual use, like sweatpants. These items have relatively visible logos and slogans, as they tend to be pretty plain otherwise. Unfortunately, the popularity of this trend means that many companies are “moving” their labels from the inside to the outside.

Perhaps this can somewhat explain the design choices seen here. After all, if famous household names seem to have no taste, then why shouldn’t some up-and-coming designer not try and make a name for themselves? The penalty for a terrible design might just be a bit of attention, which is hardly a bad thing these days.

I'm on the fence about this one. I could see some liking the aesthetic, but it's hard to tell what it would actually look like on someone. Model's proportions are wildly different from the average persons'.

The double standards are real. Lizzo or a plus-sized model with a small waist wears it and there's praise heaped on them for "body positivity". This person wears it and they're publicly shamed. Pick a side and be honest about it.
