Off to the Coronation...

[RB68]

What would you wear? Size 18 but only 5ft 4

Any recommendations

Is the Pretzel still available on Ebay?

err thanks for that

Are you attending the service or are you watching outside?

I guess there’s a dress code for guests? Morning suits for men or military uniforms, smart formal wear or uniform for women.

Attending

We haven't had formal notification yet but suspect morning dress - so its prolly going to be longish dress, jacket and hat but am looking for pointers to actual dresses/shoes etc

How exciting. What sort of colours do you like? Personally I would go for a muted dusky pink colour. With tights. And flats as it could be a long day.

yeah it won't be 6 inch heels for me, so small heel comfy "Queen" shoes lol. Defo a long day they already warned of that as you have to go to WA really early (like 8.30) so large handbag for the picnic lunch!

Colours - I like purples and blues and really suit greens. I am pretty lucky that I can wear most colours. I am mid 50s so don't want to be too Mutton, I like to be comfortable and warm too - hopefully in May this won't be too big a deal

😂😂😂

@RB68 how exciting! Phase 8 are good for formal wear. @TBOM - 😂 - ??.

A tiara is a must.

I’d wear a “Fuck the Monarchy” t-shirt

Shibumi. M2M, silk, gorgeous patterns and plains. Princess Anne wears it. Accessibly priced.

Same 😂

I'd channel the royals - long coat over matching dress.

Nice!

Tricky one, the last one was....some time ago so you can't really use it for pointers.

I guess half way between very formal workwear and wedding is what you're aiming for. Hobbs would normally hit the spot. They have some nice floral dresses but I think that's a bit weddingy, you probably want plain, and with a matching jacket.

Actually I'd go to John Lewis for a stylist session. If you tell them it's for the coronation they'll probably roll out the red carpet, or at least a glass of fizz.

There, 32 nicker on Amazon.
Go big on the hat shoes and bag.
Don't stand near any sources of ignition.

I want to know what the reviews say now... I hope they come with pictures showing what it actually looked like when it arrived.

Second the long jacket over a dress, maybe look at Viyella.

How do you know you’re being invited OP? Genuinely interested.

How exciting OP! We’ve been invited to the garden party at Holyrood on 4th July, watching this thread for ideas.

Union Jack dress a la Ginger spice

Or Jaques Vert
