If you thought this was a bride at her wedding with her bridal party, you would be wrong.

These six women found themselves in the middle of every woman's worst nightmare when they turned up to their friend's wedding wearing the exact same Forever New dress.

The hilarious incident prompted one of the unfortunate victims to post on the Forever New Facebook page encouraging the use of a "bridal registry" to help others avoid the blunder they endured.

The post has since gone viral with over 23,000 likes, and 6,000 hilarious comments, a feat Speranza believes Forever New owes her a voucher for.

The dress, described on Forever New's website as "perfectly tailored to flatter and accentuate your figure" and help you "make an entrance-worthy appearance", is available for $175.

Just be careful to check with your friends first before wearing it to a wedding.
