The brave woman, who reportedly wore a ‘provocative’ dress to a wedding on a hot day was targeted by other female guests throughout the night. Her name is Liz and she shared her story on her social media account. Luckily, Liz gained support from people all around the world. The story went viral after an anonymous friend posted about Liz’s experience on a local radio station’s Facebook page.
“Can we get some advice from you please? A friend wore this dress to a wedding in the weekend and got targeted big time,” she wrote. “She says she got treated rudely by other women at the wedding who saw her as a target for wearing this dress (SEE PHOTO). A woman came up behind her and slapped her on the bum and said it was on a dare from a group of other women who were watching and snickering. Someone else seemingly purposely spilt a beer on her.”
Liz also took to Instagram to talk about the day’s events. “If only I knew that choosing this dress for a wedding on a 90 degree day meant so many women would be outrightly rude to me, and even come up behind me [and] slap my a** as I’m standing alone,” she wrote. Liz continued that she was able to ignore the bullies and enjoy herself. “Good thing for thick skin, being able to laugh at things and not take it personally, and good friends/hubby by my side #adultsarebullystoo,” she added, according to the Huffington Post.
“Regardless, we had one heck of a fun night and no ‘grown’ women’s comments/glares could bring me down as a wedding guest,” she wrote. Liz subsequently decided to initiate a campaign, which is a “movement for women, by women” to encourage them to do something positive for each other every day and post it on Instagram with the hashtag. Ladies and gentlemen, we are republishing this story in light of recent reports that show more and more women around the country are challenging what it means for clothing to be inappropriate and fighting back against conservative dress codes.
