‘Karate kid’ internet in stitches after student reveals graduation outfit fail

by Zintle Mdaka
PICTURE: TIKTOK/ CONSTANCE DINGANE

With graduation season in full swing at South African universities and graduates are racing against time to ensure that everything goes well on the big day, from the hair, outfits, nails, and make up.

This TikTok user who goes by the username @constance_dingane who is a qualified teacher who had to collect her second belt, leaving many in stitches when she shared what she wanted compared to what she received. Constance shared a picture of a black suit with a belt to neatly tie it up in front as an outfit she wanted for her graduation ceremony. She shared that initially she wanted to buy it but could not find it, hence she opted for tailor-made, two days before her big day, when she went to fit, she found that her outfit was nothing like what she wanted. The suit she received was small and could not tie nicely in front, instead, it was too “revealing” compared to what she wanted and did not have a belt as she wished.

She also shared that the pants also could not fit and the zipper at the back could not close. In the last moment she bought another outfit for her graduation. She said in her caption: “I cried 40 days and 40 nights non-stop, mind you it was two days before graduation day, what a horrible experience.”

@constance_dingane I cried for 40days 40nights non stop???? mind you it was two days before graduation day what a horrible experience. #graduation #SAMA28 #tailor #2025graduate #2xgraduate ♬ OG THE PASTELS – Kneely_Knight

TikTok users laughed uncontrollably in the comment section and shared their hilarious advice on what can be done about the outfit.

One user said: “Etsa breathe in and walk fast, we won’t notice chomi.”

Another one said: “Walk in 2x speed girl, we won’t notice.”

While another one said: “I can relate, that’s how I cried last year, and the following day I was graduating.”
