Duchess of Sussex dress

[DuchessofSuccess]

Looking at pictures of Meghan in a floral dress that she wore at a wedding yesterday, I can't help but believe that maybe it's high time she got herself a better stylist.
The frock is just hideous on such a stunning woman.

She maybe likes the dress a lot. It maybe makes her feel happy wearing it.

I wish I had her bad dress sense.

OP has apologised

She apologised for starting a thread on a topic that’s already being discussed on the boards, not for the content of the thread.

Her cunty opinion remains.

If anyone thinks this thread is ‘slagging off’ they must have lived a very sheltered life.

I loved the dress. The DM photo shows it in the wind so looks massive.

She could do amazing things for the British fashion industry as Kate did for Reiss.
But obviously it does require to actually care about what she wears. Which MN obviously don't.

All those of you telling OP to "get a life" clearly don't get the irony of opening a thread you're not interested in just to take a pop at the OP.

It's natural to discuss the fashion choice of a high profile woman. I think the frock was awful but many of the guests wore - IMHO - hideous outfit - look at Kitty Spencer! Maybe that's the fashion now in aristocratic circles.

She’s buying herself a sliver of privacy with her choices. She’s smart.

That’s a good (and quite sad) point.

Of course she does QuinnElle! Duh.

I Googled ‘Duchess of Sussex’ and it was the first news story.

The first result I got was '5 reasons why being a royal is stupid' (well, in German. ..) [laugh]

What, so an unpleasant drip drip drip of low key misogynistic criticism is just a-okay because it isn’t something much worse? Fuck that.

clearly don't get the irony of opening a thread you're not interested in just to take a pop at the OP.

But we ARE interested in women being relentlessly criticised for their clothing choices. It’s just that we don’t like it.

The loose black and white dress?

It's lovely imo. And it actually looks rather comfortable!! (Which is great imo.)

Blue and white ;)

I posted this on the other thread but my views still stand:

I never condemn women on how they choose to dress and I never condone other women who do so. It means a woman can only be judged on how she looks and not on her talents, skills and achievements. Enough men judge us purely on how we look - we really do not need women doing the same.

There is something about a group of women defending Megan from being “slagged off” (I maintain in my opinion that she isn’t actually being directly criticised) by calling a woman vile, cunty, sad and telling her to fuck off/get a life etc.

The OP has been slagged off much, much more harshly than Megan.

Tumble, What's 'ironic' about that? OP et al are posting mean comments about a woman's clothing - other posters are exercising our freedom to post our dislike of that spite.

Stop telling people where they can and can't post.

It isn’t misogynistic to say clothes aren’t flattering on someone. Unless I was also being misandrist yesterday when I told my boyfriend that the jacket he’d tried on didn’t suit him.

Battleax that's a bit of an intense comment. Bet you're a riot at a dinner party.

Blueemerald, it's not just about Meghan, it's about the spite from some women who think they have the right to criticise other women for how they look. They don't. If they choose to do it then they will get pulled up on it.

That 'freedom of speech' door swings both ways you see...

OP et al are posting mean comments about a woman's clothing - other posters are exercising our freedom to post our dislike of that spite.

Or in other words...
“She started in, na na na naaah! 😝”

I have a life. The dress was awful.

27 year old "fashion ambassador" Kitty Spencer

It's like the emperor's new clothes ....

Battleax that's a bit of an intense comment. Bet you're a riot at a dinner party.

Which comment? The “I’m not too keen on misogyny” comment?

What makes you think that only the sexists have fun?

Are those spiteful women on this thread? Because I have only really seen spite directed towards the OP and a very mild critique of a dress. I would completely agree if we were talking about a woman’s physical appearance (for example weight or race) or making judgements about her personality or behaviour from her clothes (“asking for it”) but all the OP has really said is that in her opinion the dress didn’t suit Megan.

It's natural to discuss the fashion choice of a high profile woman. Illustrating in one sentence the difference views society has of men and women.

It isn’t misogynistic to say clothes aren’t flattering on someone. Unless I was also being misandrist yesterday when I told my boyfriend that the jacket he’d tried on didn’t suit him.

It’s striking though, that you very rarely see a “what was he thinking” thread about a Male sleb’s clothes. Maybe once in a blue moon when someone has worn three types of tartan together topped off with a comedy animal head.
