Everyone knows not to wear white to a wedding for worry of looking like the bride, but there's no method of making certain you won't remain in a comparable or - God forbid - the same clothing to another wedding guest.
Spare an idea for the six visitors who showed up at a wedding in the extremely exact same gown over the weekend.
The dress in question was a navy and blue number from Australian clothes brand, Forever New.
It's called the Debbie Lace pencil gown, and costs $159.99 (₤ 95).
Fortunately the hilarious turn of events was taken in great spirits by all involved, and has actually provoked much amusement online after one of the visitors posted an image on Facebook.
" You really should start a bridal registry so that your clients can ask whether anybody else has actually purchased one of your gowns for the exact same occasion," Debbie Speranza wrote on the Facebook page of Forever New, with three "crying with laughter" emojis.
" No we are NOT the bridesmaids simply the guests - believe I deserve a gift coupon for all this advertisement," she joked.
Whilst some individuals commented stating the circumstance would be their "worst headache," the bulk discovered the picture amusing.
"But what did you say to the guests wearing something else? Did they feel like they 'd missed out on the message?"
And some women even revealed they had - or had nearly purchased - the very same gown.
" Wore this gown on the weekend," one woman shared.
" Was this the one you just purchased?" another woman asked her good friend, who replied: "Oh what !!! Yes it is! Amusing, hope this doesn't take place to me."
After that Zara gown and coat, it's clear the women of the world have a thing for blue.
