I wore a sexy outfit to a London club but was told I couldn't enter unless I covered up, it was so humiliating | The Sun

A WOMAN has revealed how she was left humiliated after wearing a barely-there outfit for to a club but was "dress coded at the door."

The woman had wanted to wear a sexy ensemble to her friend's 21st birthday but staff at the London venue told her she wouldn't be allowed in unless she covered up.

She uploaded a video sharing her experience of the upscale venue and said her embarrassment began as soon as they arrived.

She said: "We turned up at the door and the security lady at the door goes to me, ‘You can’t come in like that, you need to change what you’re wearing’."

When the woman said that she didn't have anything else, the security lady asked the friends she was with if they had a jacket their pal could wear.

As she questioned why she needed to wear something more conservative, the security guard told her: "Because there’s a lot of Arab families in here, you can’t be coming in dressed like that."

However, the clubgoer insisted that she had checked the venue's dress code before they attended.

The woman then said that she could turn the skirt she was wearing into a more modest dress.

"But she then expected me to proceed to do it in front of a male security man, all my friends and everyone driving past in the middle of the road," she continued.

"So I said to her, ‘This is awkward, is there anywhere else I can go?’

"And she said, ‘What’s awkward is that you’re dressed like you’re going to a beach’, and laughed."

Eventually, the security guard took her to the downstairs toilet, and made her feel like an "inmate" by having someone follow her in to check that what she was wearing passed the code.

She then went and sat down with her friends at the bar in the venue, waiting for their table.

"They came back over 10 minutes later and expected me to put on this denim jacket they had found to cover me when they said it was still revealing," she said.

"And I was like, ‘Seriously, are you joking? I’m already covering everything.

"Plus one of my friends had a mesh dress on, you could see her bra and pants.

"And my other friend had her stomach on show, but it was only a problem with mine because I’m a bigger girl."

She looked at the jacket and realised it was a size extra small, so wouldn't fit her.

So she suggested that she could just drape it over her shoulders, at which point the woman insisted she had to "put her arm in".

She put the jacket on just to walk through the venue to their table, which in a hut "away from everyone's eyeline".

As she was hot, she thought it would be ok to remove the jacket, at which point the security guard sent another woman to tell her she had to wear it or she'd have to leave.

"I looked around and everyone around me had low waist tops on, a bit of cleavage showing, but they were all petite girls so I guess there was no issue," she raged.

"But I was the only thicker person there and it was an issue."

She concluded by saying that despite asking to speak to the management at the venue twice, she only got to do that when her friend complained.
