A YOUNG woman was left blushing after a wardrobe malfunction at a carnival.
Kariah, from Louisiana, US, took to social media to share what happened after a friend managed to capture the moment on video.

In the clip, Kariah started by showing off the outfit she put together for her fun-filled day at the carnival.
She wore a long-sleeved shirt in blue and white stripes which she tied in the middle to make it cropped.
Kariah then paired the look with a glam yellow and silver feathered mini skirt.
"POV: You went to play playground in a skirt," she wrote over the clip of her dancing and showing off her outfit.
But then she revealed the reason why she should have picked something else to wear.
Kariah and her group of girlfriends decided to try the Velcro Wall Game.
You essentially put on a velcro suit and run to a sticky wall and try to get attached to the target.
And Kariah was game to join in on the festivities.
She put the suit on and made a sprint for the target and everything seemed to go as planned as she hit the middle.
However, as she was stuck to the board her friends noticed something mortifying.
I only have one dress to wear to my grandad's funeral but worry it's too booby - trolls agree & say I'm 'disrespectful'
The back of the velcro jumpsuit had a large hole in the butt area and as Kariah had jumped up, her skirt came up to leaving her stuck to the wall with her bottom on full display.
"10/10 but wouldn't recommend," she captioned the clip, which went viral with over 5 million views on her TikTok account @ kariahh1.
People were quick to take to the comments, and said they would leave the country if it happened to them.
One person wrote: "You need to move country and change your identity."
Another commented: "I would've started crying lmaooo omg."
"I think this qualifies you for witness protection, I would disappear," penned a third.
Can you be dress coded for wearing crop tops in public?
The concept of being "dress coded" typically applies to specific environments such as schools, workplaces, or certain establishments where dress codes are enforced to maintain a particular standard or atmosphere.
In public spaces, however, the situation is generally more relaxed and governed by societal norms rather than strict rules.
That said, whether or not you can be dress coded for wearing a crop top in public largely depends on the context and location:
Public Spaces: In most public spaces, like parks, streets, and beaches, wearing a crop top is generally acceptable and unlikely to result in any formal repercussions. People have the freedom to dress as they choose, provided they adhere to basic standards of decency and local laws.
Establishments and Venues: Some restaurants, shops, or clubs may have their own dress codes. It's possible that a crop top might not meet the dress requirements for more formal venues. In such cases, staff may politely request that you adhere to their dress code or deny entry.
Schools and Workplaces: Educational institutions and workplaces often have dress codes in place. Crop tops may be considered inappropriate in these settings, and you could be asked to change into more suitable attire.
Cultural and Regional Considerations: In certain cultures or regions, norms and expectations around acceptable clothing can vary widely. It's always a good idea to be aware of and respect local customs and dress codes when travelling.
