She Showed Up To Her Cousin’s Birthday Party In A Long Designer Dress After Her Original Outfit Got Taken At A Video Shoot, And Her Cousin Accused Her Of Stealing The Spotlight
This 18-year-old woman sometimes helps out her friends by doing modeling work. She claimed that gigs are nothing huge; it’s just that many of her acquaintances are involved in fashion.
So, they sometimes hire her to wear their clothes and jewelry to photograph and display online.
And just a few days ago, she just so happened to have a video shoot at her friend’s place on the same day as her younger cousin Maria’s sixteenth birthday party.
Now, for context, her entire family was invited to the event, as always. But, being that she and her immediate family live far away from Maria, they usually could not make the event and always just sent gifts in the past.
However, the video shoot she was modeling in was only about 40 minutes away from Maria’s house. So, she planned to pop into the party after the shoot and also agreed to bring her parents and brother’s gifts for Maria.
Anyway, on the day of, she first went to the video shoot wearing a sundress and planned to put the same outfit back on for Maria’s party later on.
But once the shoot was wrapping up, she realized that her original sundress had disappeared. It turned out that one of her friend’s partners had assumed her sundress was one of the designer gowns and decided to wear it outside. So, that left her with nothing to wear home.
Her designer friend did immediately apologize and even offered to let her borrow a dress. They also promised to return her sundress to her at a later date.
However, since the designer was plus-sized, her options were very limited. And all her friend’s partner had left behind after putting on her sundress was a pair of shorts and a dirty shirt.

That’s why she was forced to turn to the rack of designer clothes.
“All the dresses for the shoot were long and fancy. I picked one of the more modest ones and left, as I was already late for the party,” she recalled.
Being that she was late, she was also the last person to arrive. And as soon as she walked into her cousin’s party, she realized she was the most dressed-up person there.
All of her relatives then began showering her with compliments about her appearance, including Maria’s father. But she really did not want to steal the spotlight away from Maria.
“So I tried to keep close to our 80-year-old grandfather, who only sat still and kept quiet most of the time,” she explained.
“But the rest of the family kept coming to greet me and compliment my dress and look.”
Still, Maria did thank her for the presents and also served her cake. Then, when she complimented Maria’s new hairstyle, her cousin thanked her for that, too.
That’s why she really thought everything at the party had gone well, even after the wardrobe malfunction.
However, as she started driving back home, it became clear that she had thought wrong. Apparently, her cousin started calling her and accusing her of being a real jerk for “showing up like that” and taking all of the attention away.
At that point, she tried to explain what happened with her sundress and apologized for the whole incident.
“But Maria said any decent person would just buy something else to wear before coming,” she vented.
So now, with Maria still upset with her, she’s been left wondering whether wearing a long dress to her cousin’s birthday party was really a rude thing to do.
Is it her fault that her sundress got taken? Was she trying to steal any spotlight away from her cousin? Should she have bought another outfit before going to the party or not? What would you have done?
