Ok, this really sucks...(kinda long story, I apologize)
I was chosen a while back by the owner of our local bridal/prom shop to be one of thier models. I haven't ever done anything like that before, so naturally, I was QUITE nervous!
Yesterday was my first bridal show, and I had already tried on all of the dresses that I was going to model, but I had no idea whatsoever what I was supposed to do when I actually got on stage. Everyone just told me not to worry about it...just to "wing it!"
So my first dress was of course a bridal gown, and it was the prettiest of all of the ones that I had to model. I was nervous as hell, but I got a chance to watch a bunch of people before me, before it was my turn. I'm SURE that I must have looked terrified when I did go out there, but I smiled anyways!
Anyways...to the point of my disaster. We have very little time to change dresses, and one of the times that I was changing I threw on this maroon-ish strapless bridesmaid's dress that I NEVER tried on previously, but it had my name on it...and they just kinda shoved me out the door in it.
This dress was huge! I mean, I practically had to take a deep breath and hold it, just to keep the dress up. Plus it was waay too long.
Long story short. I went out there in it, stepped up the stairs to the end of the runway, stepped on my dress, and the entire left side got yanked down...exposing my entire left boob in front of a LOT of people!!! I stumbled, but my reflexes were really fast, and I pulled it right back up and kept walking.
The owner covered for me big-time, by telling everyone that it took a "true model" to be able to stumble and keep going with a smile on her face!
Of course I had to stay out there, its not like I was gonna run off the state screaming. But afterwards I just wanted to crawl in a hole and die!!!
I know that things like that happen, but since it was my first time ever doing it I felt like a total ass! The owner who was in charge of the show made me feel a lot better afterwards by saying that it was the best thing that I could do. But I just can't get the image out of my head...it keeps playing over and over again.
Everyone in the audience laughed at me, and so did everyone I told about it. They just don't seem to understand the extreme embarassment that I suffered.
I really enjoyed the REST of the show, but I'm just so scared that something like that will happen again. And that makes me doubt modeling again...
What would you do???
