Woman left in hysterics after realising she's been wearing playsuit as a top for years

Wardrobe malfunctions are never ideal are they? They normally only last a couple of minutes before we've realised our embarrassing blunder, but imagine doing so for a matter of years without even realising.

Well, it's the stuff of nightmares isn't it, really?

For one American woman though, she went viral after revealing a top she had been wearing for four years was in fact a jumpsuit.

Maddison became well known on TikTok after she told her pal about the item of clothing she had been wearing so wrong for so many years.

Maddison shared a picture of herself wearing the item of clothing to her friend as she penned: "I have had this top for like OVER FOUR YEARS and I am JUST NOW realising that it is NOT a top, it is a ROMPER.

"I have worn it SEVERAL times. As a top. It always bugged me how complicated it was to put on and how it never made sense and now I know why.

"I put [my waist] through ONE of the leg holes that I didn't know were leg holes. I cannot make this up. I just thought it was one of those flowy sideswept tops."

It was Maddison's friend, who goes by the name TeamPierce, who uploaded the text exchange to TikTok.

Many people flocked to comment on their own fashion faux-pas, with one writing: "I wore a cute tunic to my first day of high school and found out months later that it was actually a bathing suit cover-up."

"I have also done this!" reassured another. "Why do they make some of the leg holes open and flowy?"

"I wore a car seat cover as a skirt once," confessed a third. "It's okay."

"I wore my jean jacket upside down to a concert - collar at my butt. Didn't notice until hours later," a fourth laughed.

The comments did not stop there though, as many can't quite believe how Maddison wore the playsuit as a top.

"I'm still trying to figure out how u wore it as a top," another quipped, while a sixth user remarked: "Her face in the first picture you can still see the shock."

TeamPierce uploaded a second video thanking those on TikTok for laughing along with Madison's error.

"I'm so glad you all thought that was as funny as I did," she said.

"Madison is one of my best friends, I promise you she is not dumb. It could happen to anybody!"
