sorry, i lied

The "sorry I lied about my costume" trend

Perfect version

AI-made examples with fictional people. Results vary.

This is where the trend started. You post the AI version of your childhood Halloween costume (a real princess dress, a store-bought Spider-Man suit, perfect face paint), then you confess: the dress was a bedsheet, the suit was pajamas, the face paint was a blue marker. The last slide is the real photo your mom took in the driveway.

Make yours with the I'm so sorry trend app: one photo, your lies, every slide.

Costume lies that work

Pick the ones that match your photo. These are the exact lines you can type in:

  • "my costume was store-bought"
  • "I had the full costume, not just the mask"
  • "my face paint was done properly"
  • "my dress was a real princess dress"
  • "my cape was velvet, not a towel"
  • "my wig was real hair"
  • "I had the matching shoes"
  • "my makeup was professional"
  • "my pumpkin bucket was a real one"
  • "my sister’s costume matched mine"

Then the real one shows the cardboard, the safety pins, and the smile.

Examples from the trend

  • Smurf: blue face, blue dress → "okay… I lied, my face was painted with a marker" → "and the dress was a blue shirt" → "I’m so sorry"
  • Angel and devil sisters in the 90s → "Wait, we had on pajamas. Not dresses" → "And our hair was a little messy" → "I’m so sorry"
  • Hello Kitty with a white-painted face, paper bag "Candy Please" sign → the AI version is a boutique costume

How to make it

  1. Upload the childhood costume photo (scans and photos-of-photos are fine).
  2. Pick Halloween costume as the theme, choose or type your lies. Biggest lie last.
  3. Get the perfect-costume slide, one slide per confession, and the real photo as the ending.
  4. Save to Photos, post as a TikTok photo post with the sound.

Tips

  • Keep the same character. If you were a Smurf, the perfect version is still a Smurf, just a better one. The joke is the gap, not a different costume.
  • Group photos: tell us which kid is you. The others stay as they are.
  • Don’t upload a photo of a kid who isn’t yours.

FAQ

Does it have to be Halloween?

No. Any dress-up photo works: school plays, birthday parties, the year you were a ghost under a sheet.

What if the AI gets the costume wrong?

You can retry once for free with the same lies, or get a refund.
