Fergie's Fashion Faux Pas: If It's Too Small, Don't Wear It

Black panel added to the singer's too-small dress is totally visible at A Night of Firsts event in Los Angeles. What was she thinking?

As Tim Gunn would say, Make it work.

That's exactly what Fergie tried to do last week when she stepped out in a Jean-Charles de Castelbajac dress that was just a touch too small for her.

The Black Eyed Peas singer couldn't close up her dress properly, so instead she left it half unzipped, added a black panel and voilà—perfectly fitting from the front! But she left it totally visible for all to see at the A Night of Firsts bash in Los Angeles.

Fail.

Adjustments like this are pretty common in the fashion world, when designers' sample size 2 dresses are just too tiny to fit a healthy (and busty) star like Fergs.

But why didn't the babe at least wear a jacket, or better yet, turn that bow around, to cover the panel and the fact that this dress was too small? Fergie has had her share of fashion disasters, but this mistake was big. Huge. What was she thinking?

And more important, was this funky dress—with Felix the Cat placed strategically in front of her lady parts—even worth wearing?
