Sorry peely wally is a much used term this side of the border for someone or something pale or with very fair colouring or possibly a bit peaky,eg/ my granny might have said "is that bairn coming doon with something, she's awfy peely wally".
to be more up to date I'm a Winter and probably need a dress with stronger colours or bolder pattern.

Maireas · 11/06/2023 19:44

My mum used that expression a lot "she's awfy peely wally".
I baulk at beige, but the pattern on that dress is very nice, not too pale for me, the blue lifts it.

With all those much nicer tiaras to choose from, I wonder why Kate keeps wearing the Lovers Knot!

lollipoprainbow · 12/06/2023 02:58

What do we make of Camilla's jumpsuit worn to the royal academy?

paradyning · 12/06/2023 04:55

Absolutely fabulous!

TracyBeakerSoYeah · 12/06/2023 08:42

Love it & it's certainly a different look for Camilla.

TracyBeakerSoYeah · 12/06/2023 08:51

Though I do think the trouser length could have done with being a little bit shorter.

Random fact of the day: there is a label called Camilla that do jumpsuits 😁

@Maireas wasn't ignoring your request but only just seen that you wanted me to find a dress for you.
The ones that @gluenotsoup & @chesterelly1 found are fab

Kaftankween · 12/06/2023 09:07

Off topic but Camilla, the Australian brand, is fabulous. Much more than jumpsuits. Expensive though

gluenotsoup · 12/06/2023 09:12

I like the jumpsuit idea for Camilla, but that particular one has too much fabric for her frame and the darts in the top look too formal for an informal shape. Hope that makes sense 😬
And it’s blue. Again.

Maireas · 12/06/2023 10:02

Nice that she's trying different styles.
Don't like That Blue 🔵

Doesn't she have a dress in exactly the same colour and collar style?

Maireas · 12/06/2023 10:56

Yes, she does.

I am worried she might have a fall. Those are very long trousers.
The ladies seem to be trying lots of new styles in the past few months.

justasking111 · 12/06/2023 12:31

Being totally practical I hope it's a two piece. My bladder can't cope with waiting for a full strip down whilst wriggling out of a jump suit 😅😅

Is Cams wearing the trusty boots with the jumpsuit?! Shock

Lunde · 12/06/2023 13:25

Camilla's jumpsuit was an interesting idea for her but I think a different style would suit her better as it seems to swamp her below the waist with the legs being too wide and too long.

I think that a jumpsuit could suit her if the trousers were more tailored - perhaps tapering to ankle length

Gooseysgirl · 12/06/2023 15:58

Well I love that she wore a jumpsuit - go Camilla! 😄 Too much fabric in the trouser section though, and I'm over the blue now 👀

Spudlet · 12/06/2023 16:43

I like the idea of the jumpsuit more than the execution, but I love that it’s not a coat dress, or indeed a dress at all! I know HMQ was a very traditional lady who was wedded to her dresses - fair enough at her age, but it is lovely to see the women in the family branching out into new things.

Give that thing some tailored legs, as @Lunde says, and I think it’s be a winner. I have a wide legged jumpsuit that I plan to do the same to when I have a moment. Go on Cams, get your sewing machine out. 😁

Papergirl1968 · 12/06/2023 17:35

It's a no from me to the jumpsuit. There's a fine line between trying something different and sticking to what suits you. I really like most of Camilla's dresses. The jumpsuit looked awful, in my humble opinion.

Eaumyword · 12/06/2023 18:28

I really like it 🤷‍♂️

KnickerlessParsons · 12/06/2023 18:58

I like it, though the legs could have been smaller/narrower/slimmer.
