it means that you did sth bad (a bad impression) like saying sth that you didnt have to, it's a gaffe


Rich T
In the context of "fare una brutta figura" it means to make a bad impression (to present one's self poorly).

hey i'm italian..
brutta figura is a diction used when some one do/say something wrong or better embarassing.
