Everyone knows not to wear solid white to a wedding, but one woman was bullied for showing up in a skintight body-con dress. 

The Breeze Waikato, a radio station in New Zealand, posted a photo of the woman wearing her sexy outfit to its Facebook page on June 26. The woman — whose face is blurred —strikes a pose in a thigh-grazing mini. 

"Can we get some advice from you please?" the Breeze Waikato wrote. "A friend wore this dress to a wedding this weekend and got targeted big time. She says she got treated rudely by other women at the wedding who saw her as a target for wearing this dress."

The caption continued: "A woman came up behind her and slapped her on the bum and said it was a dare from a group of other women who were watching and snickering. Someone else seemingly purposely spilt a beer on her. She's amazed that grown women could be so immature and such bullies. OK, but wait. She wants to know — did she bring ANY of this on herself by wearing this dress to a wedding? Your thoughts?"

The post received more than 500 comments, many of them supportive.

"I actually can't believe that happened!! That is awful. I can only assume it was jealousy. I think you look fantastic and in all fairness if you turned up in a bikini it still wouldn't give people the right to slap you or throw stuff at you. Unbelievable."

Another chimed in: "She looks HOT! I'd be more than happy to have my friends dressed like that if it was my wedding. And I'd be ashamed if I had guests there that would treat someone this way."

National etiquette expert Diane Gottsman tells Us Weekly that at a wedding, all eyes are supposed to be on the happy couple — especially the bride and her gorgeous gown. "She's the No. 1 showstopper," Gottsman points out. But that said, the expert notes that while the bullied guest "may or may not have chosen the right dress for the wedding, there is never a good reason to be petty or uncivil."

And if you're unsure about whether your attire would fit the dress code? "Call and ask," Gottman advises.
