Tour itinerary

As always, let's critique the clothes and not the wearers.

Wierdly I think neither dress fit but in totally opposite ways.

The khaki one swamped her in every way, even the sleeves were too big.

Then the striped one looked far too tight.

Its a shame as I feel her figure is really great at the moment, being a bit curvier, and she could look incredible.

ElspethFlashman · 24/09/2019 19:35

But must add that the rewearing is good. Yes, it's all a bit tokenistic considering she wore a 9k dress to a wedding last week, but hey, baby steps.

megletthesecond · 24/09/2019 19:37

She can do lots of re-wears for a while. Her early pregnancy clothes are ok for the time being.
I remember those months post baby when nothing fitted brilliantly because my shape was changing every couple of weeks.

BertrandRussell · 24/09/2019 19:38

@ElspethFlashman Do you not usually wear a new dress to a wedding? I think most people do.....

BertrandRussell · 24/09/2019 19:40

And to be fair, it would have been tricky to do many rewares over the past year or so....

Falafel19 · 24/09/2019 20:00

I definitely don't always wear a new dress to a wedding, how wasteful!

Horsemad · 24/09/2019 20:03

I don't even own any dresses! Next year I have two events I will be attending & will need a dress that works for each. Eeek!!

BertrandRussell · 24/09/2019 20:10

Can I direct you to the Style and Beauty Board? Grin

Horsemad · 24/09/2019 20:15

Haha, I will have to ask for S&B help that's for sure! 😆

mytinyfiredancers · 24/09/2019 20:17

I always have a new dress for a wedding! What a treat.

ElspethFlashman · 24/09/2019 20:29

God no, I get away with as many rewears for those fancy frocks as possible tbh. Otherwise it's just throwing money away. They don't go out of fashion that fast either.

Amanduh · 24/09/2019 21:06

Bad choices today. Both horrible and both ill fitting and not flattering at all. The striped maxi does her no favours whatsoever at her midesection, it’s horrible. I think it’s one of the worst things I’ve seen her wear! There really is nothing nice about it.
Her hair has looked lovely though, I really like it loose.

MayaWhySoDown · 24/09/2019 21:37

So weird, I absolutely loved today's outfits! The two today, plus the casual look she apparently got slated for on SM are .y favourites by far. The wrap dresses weren't to my taste.... a bit too conservative maybe?

MayaWhySoDown · 24/09/2019 21:37

*my favourites

peridito · 24/09/2019 21:53

I liked the Mosque dress .I watched the video of the Mosque visit .What stamina !
M . was v agile getting down to sit on the floor ,better than H !

ElspethFlashman · 24/09/2019 21:56

That'll be all the yoga.

MayaWhySoDown · 24/09/2019 21:57

Oh sorry, one wrap dress, one belted shirt dress thing.

I haven't seen that video peridito. I'll have to have a look. I definitely wouldn't look graceful sitting on the floor! Like a rhino having a mud bath I would be 😂. I'll never make it as a royal Sad.

peridito · 24/09/2019 21:59

Indeed. Going back to the Khaki/Green dress - you really need to see more than a still photo ,

peridito · 24/09/2019 22:02

Mosque video it's someway down on the MAM blog.madaboutmeghan.blogspot.com/

Myimaginarycathasfleas · 24/09/2019 22:22

I could get down ok. I'd definitely need help getting up again 😟

BertrandRussell · 24/09/2019 22:34

That mosque visit looked like a barrel of laughs......

QueenOfTheAndals · 24/09/2019 22:47

Yes but did you see the food on offer @BertrandRussell?!?

To misquote Frasiers fabulous Gil Chesterton they look like mongeese trapped by a very chatty cobra. Like at their wedding MM needs to remember such moments mustn’t start with a smiley face. Ten minutes in and she looked to have a nasty case of lockjaw.

One of Meghan's visits tomorrow is an HIV prevention organisation called Mothers2Mothers. Might we see Archie?
