CHIAVARI, Italy, July 7 (UPI) -- A woman said she is suing her Italian wedding dress designer after the nearly $4,000 garment fell apart at the altar, exposing her bottom to her guests.

The bride, 30, said her wedding day in Chiavari, Italy, went down the tubes because of faulty sewing on her dress, The Telegraph reported Monday.

The woman's lawyer, Alberto Figone, said his client's wedding was ruined and it "turned out to be the worst" day of her life.

"She was left extremely embarrassed because the stitching of her dress came apart at the altar, slid down and revealed her bottom to the whole congregation," he said.

The woman is seeking about $40,000 from the designer for "moral damages as well as financial damages," the newspaper said.

Since the woman's 2006 wedding took place, she and her husband have separated, The Telegraph said.
