To think this is weird clothing?

Have posted about BIL and his GF before and their very PDA.

We are at ILs for our traditional family NYD lunch, it's something we all look forward to and make abut of an effort for, lovely food, wine, get dressed up etc.

Everyone looks lovely, DD is having a whale of a time and then BIL's GF comes downstairs. BIL is in smart trousers, shirt etc and she is wearing pink PJ bottoms, a basque 3 sizes too small and a tatty black Cardigan.

DH joking said "had she just got out of bed?" and she replied "no I've been getting ready upstairs" apparently this is what she is wearing today.

AIBU to think that is just odd? She knows what we do on this day as MIL and me were talking about it on Christmas Eve with her and saying what we were wearing etc.

Agree with Yuno's suggestion Grin

It's not your house, you are there as guests and think it is ok to be rude to their son's GF and sit slagging her off to complete strangers on the internet.How classy you are! (NOT)

I would make her a nice laura Ashley corset for next years lunch

Your DH was incredibly rude...I would be ashmed of mine if he commented on her clothing like that. Maybe she hasn't go money to buy anything "nice".

usualsuspect · 01/01/2011 13:33

What are you wearing op?

Chil1234 · 01/01/2011 13:34

Blimey... does the average MN-er live with the Waltons or something? In our family, eccentric clothing will always result in a bit of good-natured piss-taking. "Sold the caravan, kept the curtains?" etc...

WimpleOfTheBallet · 01/01/2011 13:34

Oh it'll be something "nice and smart" Usual.

usualsuspect · 01/01/2011 13:36

Per Una perhaps?

hmmSleep · 01/01/2011 13:36

YABU, live and let live, she wasn't harming anyone. Maybe she thought what you were wearing was boring, but I bet she was too polite to comment.

BuzzLightBeer · 01/01/2011 13:39

ah come on people! She can of course wear what she likes, perhaps she couldn't afford something new blah blah blah....

but pyjamas and a bet on basque? And you wouldn't raise an eyebrow?

Liars, the lot of you. Of course its fucking weird!

noddyholder · 01/01/2011 13:40

She prob hates you all which is not unusual for a combo of in laws and xmas I think she sounds hilarious.

OneTwoBuckleMyShoe · 01/01/2011 13:41

Just to clarify GF lives here with BIL and DH asked her direct rather than making a comment behind her back hut yes IABU posting on here!

I am wearing Monsoon for those who asked, BIL and GF have gone back to bed with raging hangovers stomach problems so I can take off my judgy pants now.

She had a 'tatty' black cardigan on over the basque so it wasn't like she had her norks hanging out.

Fibilou · 01/01/2011 13:44

Sounds most odd to me. Feel free to judge OP, the people on here that obviously enjoy looking like they've been dragged through a hedge backwards obviously don't comprehend the concept of a day where you dress up

WimpleOfTheBallet · 01/01/2011 13:47

Were they actually PJs though? Or some sort of loose cotton trousers.

OneTwoBuckleMyShoe · 01/01/2011 13:47

Ah if only it was buttoned up FLF...

How old is she?

OneTwoBuckleMyShoe · 01/01/2011 13:48

Definitely PJ bottoms, pale pink with zzz across the back waistband

18 usualsuspect so age may well be a factor

Well there you go then...my 18 year old ds's idea of dressing up is to put his least raggy jeans on and maybe iron his t shirt

What is a PDA?

I don't know any 18yr old girls who would "dres up" by wearing PJ bottoms, a basque and a tatty cardigan Confused

They must be a different breed of 18yr old girls round here Xmas Grin

(althoug the 18yr old boys match usuals description Xmas Grin)

PDA = public display(s) of affection
