Bride ‘bullied’ after wearing $270 wedding dress that flaunts her bra

A bride was trolled by strangers who called her “trashy” after she opted for an unconventional wedding dress to celebrate her big day.

A bride was trolled by strangers who called her “trashy” after she wore a black bra with her cream wedding dress.

Basak, 33, opted for a bustier maxi dress with Gucci leather pumps during an intimate civil ceremony in front of 15 guests on March 29 at Hackney Town Hall in London.

After tying the knot with partner, Goksu, 33, the newlyweds were excited to share photos and videos from their big day on TikTok — but Basak says she received a backlash for her choice of dress.

She decided to wear a gown with the straps and top of the cups of a black bra visible over the neckline – as she felt it was “chic”.

But strangers were quick to comment – dubbing her outfit “tacky”, “trashy”, and “disgusting” and Basak says it left her feeling “bullied”.

When she first posted, she had just 200 followers and it surprised her when people started to say there was “something wrong” with her dress.

“I didn’t think anyone would comment on the dress,” she told SWNS.

“People were saying you cannot wear black to your wedding, they [wedding dresses] are white for a reason.

“Mostly they were saying my bra was showing and it was revealing – they said it was inappropriate.

“’It’s not a fit for a wedding’. Some people were saying ‘have you dressed in the dark?’.

“It was comfortable and felt like me.”

She said she wanted something from the High Street, but wanted it to be unique. The backlash prompted her to delete the comments.

Thankfully, on the wedding day itself, the new bride said she felt “amazing”.

Basak bought her wedding dress from high street brand Because Of Alice for just $270.

With the couple due to have a big wedding in Milan, Italy, in July 2025, the bride “didn’t want to spend thousands”.

She excitedly shared some snippets from their civil ceremony online and quickly received almost 200,000 views – but became “upset” at the comments section.

Basak said: “They were mostly anonymous users. They said they hated our look – because it was black and secondly because the bra was showing.

“Most of the people saying these things are entitled to have an opinion, but it doesn’t mean you can make hurtful comments to others.

“It was upsetting at first, but after I posted a follow up video about how I felt bullied more positive vibes came along and people were defending me.

“Most of the people were saying ‘it looks amazing’, ‘you look chic’, ‘they don’t understand the style’.

“It is funny a bit in a sense – the internet is a funny place. I don’t care what people think.”

Family and friends “loved” Basak’s dress on the day.

She said: “They said it was ‘so you’.

“One even said ‘I sent your pic to one of my closest friends and it was the best dress ever’.

“Everyone except these people online loved it – because they know me and my personal style.

“My only advice [to other brides] would be to not care what others think if it makes you happy.”
