A WOMAN was caught out when she attended a posh do wearing what she thought was a nice dress – only to discover it was actually a nightie.
Fashion fan Bryony Martel rocked up to a day out at Chestertons Polo in a Primark outfit she’d bought for £20.
The ‘dress’ was silky with a bright, floral print and strappy arms that perfectly matched her shoes with the huge benefit that it was lightweight in the summer heat.
But Bryony, 25, later discovered that the summery outfit she’d opted for was in fact part of the budget store’s Bridgerton sleep range, hence why it had little letter B’s embossed all over it.
After she posed at the VIP day out, Bryony confessed: “I don’t normally shop in Primark and I was just going to pick up some insoles for my shoes for the polo.
“But the dress I was originally going to wear was quite thick and lined, and when I went upstairs I saw some silk dresses hanging up.”

In an interview with The Mirror Bryony, who lives in London, continued: “I went up to them and thought, ‘Oh, that’s actually really pretty.’
“I saw it was from the Bridgerton collection, and because my name is Bryony, it had the letter B all over it so I thought it won’t look too odd if I’ve got a dress with some B’s on it.”
Bryony went on to say that she was so taken by the dress that she didn’t even go to the fitting room, instead choosing to take a chance on it.
She went on: “I tried it on the next morning and I asked my friend if it was too see-through and she said no – so I wore it for the day.”

However, when the dress started trending on the internet – as another lady had also decided to wear the nightwear in the daytime – Bryony realised her mistake.
She revealed: “I clicked on it and was like, ‘Oh my God I was wearing that all day yesterday and didn’t realise it was a nightie’ because nowhere on the label does it say.”
She added: “The only giveaway is maybe the straps as they’re similar to a bra, but, other than that, it’s just a normal satin dress.”
However, despite her fashion mistake, Bryony didn’t seem to regret stepping out in the number.
Instead, she described it as “elegant, lightweight and flowy” and something she’d wear again when soaking up the sun.
And while she admitted shopping in fast fashion store Primark left her slightly “conflicted”, she said she’d be intrigued to check out their selection in the future.
Bryony said: “If Primark keeps coming up with nice, satin, long slip dresses with flowers, I’d definitely shop there again.
“And you can’t complain about the price either when we’re in a cost of living crisis.”
Bryony added that while she hardly ever buys new clothes – instead choosing to rewear what she has in her wardrobe – she would always have a look around if she had an exciting day planned.
