A WOMAN has left people totally stunned as she proudly strutted her stuff in four dress options for her daughter’s wedding day.

Taking to social media, Stacy modelled her four dress options, leaving people stunned.

But Stacy’s glamorous gowns led people to question if Stacy was the one tying the knot, due to their resemblance to wedding dresses.

Not only did many think her dresses were inappropriate, but others told her to ‘leave white for the bride’.

The mother explained that her son would be a groomsman and that her youngest daughter was going to be the maid of honour for the big day.

She then wrote: “My daughter’s getting married soon! Trying to find a dress I can dance in!”

In the short clip, Stacy said: “Trying on mother of the bride dresses. Which one do you like best?”

We then saw Stacy model each dress - all of which were maxi dresses.

As the blonde beauty tried on each gown, she tested out how suitable they were for dancing.

The mother later confirmed that she ordered the fourth and final dress from Shein.

While Stacy didn't confirm the price of her Shein gown - we've recently seen a number of fashionistas nab dresses from the retailer for as little as £35.

Can you wear white to a wedding?

Traditionally it's always been frowned upon to wear white to a wedding, in case you get mistaken for the bride.

But are there any exceptions?

  • If it's the theme:Believe it or not, this does happen. Beyonce and Jay Z asked all guests to wear white to their wedding, while a growing trend seesbrides opting for white bridesmaid dresses- like Kate Middleton and Poppy Delevingne.
  • If it's a non-traditional wedding:Are your friends having a non-religious wedding? The bride may be happy with you wearing white - but make sure you check first. Just because the bride is wearing a different colour, doesn't mean you can assume white is ok.
  • If it's a patterned dress:You may be able to pass if you're only wearing hints of white, according to bridal experts. Just steer clear of full-length gowns.
  • If all your mates are doing it:According to Amercian etiquette experts the Emily Post Institute, it's no longer a taboo to wear white. But some brides are more traditional than others. It's best to see what others in your friendship group are doing. And, if in doubt, always check with the bride.

The TikTok clip, which was posted under the username @stacydsellsmohomes, has left many stunned, as it has quickly racked up 873,900 views.

Trolls clap back...

But social media users were open-mouthed at Stacy’s dress options and many were all left saying the same thing - that she should wear the fourth option because the other ones weren’t appropriate.

Leave white to the bride!

TikTok user

One person said: “Four by default because the others look like you are the bride.”

Another added: “Four… the rest are all wedding dresses? Or are you supposed to be wearing white?”

A third commented: “The first three are wedding dresses.”

A fourth penned: “Four is the only one that is appropriate.”

Whilst someone else wrote: “Well considering they all look like wedding dresses except the last one, that is the one you should pick!”

At the same time, another user advised: “Leave white to the bride!”

Meanwhile, another user sarcastically questioned: “Are you getting married??”
