Sometimes we don't get to pick what we wear -- when we're bridesmaids, for instance -- and are stuck in terrible, glittery, goopy messes. And other times, we're perfectly free to choose our own clothing -- like prom dresses -- and we make truly awful sartorial choices.

Just to remind you of how bad it can be, we've gathered some of the worst dress messes around. Got one you'd like to share with us? Send it in!

    When they gave those bridesmaids the pouches to dangle from their arms, they didn't realize they would be used primarily as a hiding place for whiskey.

    It's weird that the "waist necktie" never became more popular.

    This is like that scene in "Gone With The Wind" when she makes that dress out of curtains, only these are made of mauve polyester and there are six of them!

    Vampires or superheroes -- what theme were they going for?

    Okay. Truthfully it's hard to complain about a dachshund in pearls.

    Prim, proper and oh-so purple.

    Gah! The giant spider on her head has been pooping crystals on her dress!

    It's very important that everyone knows your bridesmaid also has a black belt in Karate.
