Bride sues wedding dress designer

A bride is suing a designer after her £2000 ($5228) wedding dress came apart on her big day, leaving her semi naked at the altar.

The 30-year-old woman claims her big day in 2006 was ruined by the poor stitching, which left her bottom on display.

According to the writ the bride was left in tears and the priest was left not knowing where to look.

The Carry On style incident happened at Chiavari on the Italian Riviera.

The woman is claiming damages of £20,000 from the designer.

The incident has only just come to court. It was followed by more bad news for the bride - she has separated from her husband.
