We can’t be held responsible for all the nightmares all of you Pandas with a decent sense of taste might have after reading this article! Have a quick chat with your inner fashion critics and tell them to get ready because the ride’s about to get rough. Ready? Awesome, let’s dive headfirst into the best recent pics posted by the fashion-conscious ‘You can’t just slap some fabric together and call it a dress’ Facebook group.
A community of 62k members, the group gently pokes fun at dresses that are beyond saving and should probably not be worn. Like, at all. Scroll down for the best of the worst, and make sure to send the best pics to all of your sartorial pals.
Just in case this list didn’t have enough bad clothes to terrify your fashion sense, you should definitely try these two earlier Bored Panda articles about the (in)famous Facebook group on for size: Part 1 and Part 2.

We absolutely love it when an online community’s mission statement is in its title. In the case of ‘You can’t just slap some fabric together and call it a dress,’ you immediately know what they’re all about.
It’s obvious that the members of the group value good fashion, have a good sense of humor, and love to have a go at designer pieces that clearly should have stayed in sketches and not made it to the sewing room.

During our previous chat with Mary Waldron, the founder of the Facebook group, Bored Panda learned more about the community, its opinions, and thoughts about bad dresses.
Mary said that, in her opinion, plenty of dress designers go for eye-catching designs to stand out and grab people’s attention. "Whether or not it’s eye-pleasing is irrelevant when you want attention brought to your work," she said.

"I think the important thing when sharing opinions on another person’s outfits is tact, it comes across as rude if you simply say, 'Your dress is ugly' and the other person may not be as willing to listen to you, but if you were to say, 'I don’t think that dress is very flattering for your figure, try this other dress.' It sounds less critical and gives you the chance to give them a better option," Mary said that people should never underestimate the power of diplomacy, kindness, and being polite.

Fashion designer Oyinda Akinfenwa, the creator of the ‘Janore’ brand, opened up to Bored Panda a while back about her dress design creation process. It’s not every day that you get to take a peek at what’s going on behind the scenes and in someone’s imaginative mind.
"When it comes to my process, it varies depending on the design and my state of mind at the point. It could be fast like just envisioning a style and sometimes it’s quite slow which may involve drawing various patterns to make sure I get the right fit and styling necessary for each design," the designer revealed to us.

"I wish people understood that it is not easy to actually create designs out of an idea, there’s a lot of creative process that goes into it and it will be nice if people were a bit more understanding of designers and also understanding the story behind their art,” the designer stressed that things aren’t as easy as they might seem to a bystander.

"I have to make sure that all the styling options I offer look just as good as the next one and also ensure that it fits into the category of outfit that I’m going for. Also to make sure that it can not only be styled differently but also styled to fit different occasions thereby creating ease as well as comfort for whoever is wearing it," she said that creating something fresh and exciting is an incredibly difficult process. Oyinda added that one of 2022’s hottest fashion items is “definitely” going to be beaded bags.

According to Mary, the founder of ‘You can’t just slap some fabric together and call it a dress,’ the group had started gaining more and more traction online around half a year after being created. “I never expected it to be such a big group, but honestly, I should have because, at the time, shaming groups were a big trend on Facebook," she said,
"Looking back, I think the thing about shaming groups in general that brings people together and really resonates with them is the idea that there are things so bad out there that they feel compelled to share them with everyone for a good laugh, just like when a group of kids in school will see a teacher with a really bad tie and make a few jokes. To me, it’s that same concept, just on a much larger scale, that really makes these groups what they are,” Mary told Bored Panda.

"The group name was actually inspired by a comment on a post in the group, ‘That’s it, I’m wedding dress shaming,’" Mary added that she’d love to credit the person for this, but can’t remember their name.
"The group was originally just a wedding dress shaming group called ‘You Can’t Slap On A White Skirt and Call it a Wedding Dress,' but over time, as more and more people joined, I decided to allow other types of dresses,” the founder said how the group evolved.

“The dresses I tend to really gawk at are the ones that look like they could fall off, tear, or just completely malfunction at any given moment. But outside of the group, I try to keep an open mind when it comes to fashion because a person’s taste is as unique as their own,” Mary said.
“If a dress makes you feel happy when you wear it, then you wear it relentlessly because your body is your own to dress how you want to,” she told us.

Meanwhile, if you’re thinking about what’s fashionable this year and you’re planning on going to any weddings, Anna and Sarah from The Wedding Society recently shared with Bored Panda what’s trending.
“There are so many amazing style trends for weddings at the moment,” they said. “Neutrals and sages are really popular, as well as pops of bright color. Clean lines and Palm Springs vibes are still very in!”
