DH, Anita Rani and the see thru dress

I think the PoW has the gold standard on partially transparent but classy! Still OTT for anything but a red carpet, though.

Anita’s is not a good look for all sorts of reasons - perfectly decent, I suppose, but not flattering and again not appropriate for anything but headline grabbing red carpet wear.

You want to wear a see through dress to your child’s school???

The ‘PJs on the school run’ mums may finally be finding a reprieve though 🤣

@FTPM1980 i’m not sure he’s telling her what to wear? I think he’s just expressing an opinion on a dress he’s been shown, isn’t he?

As for saying he likes her to dress in the style of the Princess of Wales, again he’s just expressing an opinion. Much like I would say to my husband I prefer him to dress in jeans and a nice jumper rather than the shorts and football shirts he usually wears. I’m not telling him what to wear, just saying what I like.

Later on in your post you also say to OP ’don’t wear that’ so why is it ok for you to say it but not her DH?

You want to wear a see through dress to your child’s school??? What planet have I woke up on this morning, when would anyone think turning up to their kids school looking like a 10 pence hooker was a good idea or remotely glamorous? WTAF!

Women don't dress like that if there is no one to see them.

Why is it women have to expose lots of skin to look amazing but men can just wear a suit?

Dressing for the "male gaze" is not girl power.

Sorry but AR looks like a textured condom in that dress. You’re going to a classy function, not a Kardashian at the Met Gala….

No I wouldn't feel comfortable wearing that. Don't have the figure anymore anyway!!
There are many styles way more classy that won't show everyone what you had for breakfast 😆

Awful dress. Firstly screams attention to me and not in a good way, in a way that suggests problems within the marriage and revenge. The black one linked looks beautiful. Sexy, modern, classy.
The nude colour always makes people look bigger than they are imo especially with a high neckline. As for the shapewear underneath it just reminds me of something my mum would wear to make her much smaller and I wouldn’t even want people knowing I owned if I had a great figure.

Even this is better but still a bit more underwear required!

That dress is not flattering on her and I can't imagine it's much nicer on anyone else. Your poor DH, I'd piss myself if someone I knew turned up to an event in it, sorry!

That's not the best pic of her wearing that dress.

A bit sheer but much more classy?

Good point, I was trying to figure out what it is about it and I couldn't put my finger on it. She's a stunningly beautiful woman, but she actually looks REALLY uncomfortable there. I know it's just one photo of a split second in time, but she doesn't look like she's "working" the dress. She looks like she's thinking "it seemed like a good idea at the time, now I'm not so sure...."

That dress is horrible! Anita is an attractive woman who looks nice in most things but, honestly, not that!

I think Anita Rani is brilliant, but really that wasn't one of her best decisions. You can go classy and figure-hugging without going see-through.

No.

If she was wearing a different dress I'd think she had a stunning figure. In that one, I'm thinking, 'She's very thin ... BUT...'.

And normally I'd be telling myself to not be that critical. But a dress like that is literally inviting people to analyse and comment and keep score. It demands it.

If you're hoping people will give you 10/10 and that women will be envious and men lustful, you need to balance that against them knowing you have a colossal ego and no taste and possibly be secretly very amused.

No idea why, but Trump in his gold house comes to mind.

I'm late 50s so could be called a bit of an old fuddy duddy. I've always like Anita Rani, think she is good at her job, is beautiful and thought she had good style from what she wore on TV. But this just made me a bit disappointed that she felt the need to do this...of course people can wear what they like.... but to me it's just not that flattering, even though she has a good body. To me style is how you wear clothes, not how you try to wear as little as possible.

I'm not too fond of the dress - for any age. It seems Anita had a point to make and that's one way to do it.

Children there or not you'll look like Amanda Holden desperate for attention trying to make everything about her.

Would you happily go to a function with your husband wearing for example a Borat mankini?

There's a difference between wear what you like and dressing like a normal person

She looks awful in that dress.

I was that Anita wore it.
I watched her on C4's Aldi's Next Big Thing and was surprised she'd wear a dress like that.
It's tacky looking.

Fucking hell at our private school you'll be the talk of the parents for weeks.

pretty sure that's the idea 😂

I’m all for women wearing what they want but for me I wouldn’t enjoy wearing this dress

No don't do it
