Kate looked gorgeous today. Her figure is incredible.

LadyEloise1 · 11/10/2023 23:49

Tresses is another word they use. 🙄

MotherofPearl · 12/10/2023 07:54

My personal favourite, 'mother-of-three.' Hmm

KillingMeDeftly · 12/10/2023 08:48

Yes because women have to always be identified in terms of how many times they've given birth! Though to be fair it's not just the Fail who do that.

It's "all grown up" that really makes me🤢

Please tell me about this amazing M&S slip? I have a white dress that I love but haven't worn yet because I really do need a slip for under it.

(a link would be much appreciated🙏)

They come in different lengths, so make sure you know what length you need.
They also some in black, white and nude.

The best one are the keep cool ones.

I have at least six, mostly in black but also the nude ones. They make every single dress hang better, crease less and I can get one more wear be I need to wash the dress.

themessygarden · 12/10/2023 13:24

@ChardonnaysBeastlyCat thank you, going to look now, they sound exactly what I need. .

im Glad you managed to make sense ur my jumbled up post.

My least favourite Mailism is "stun", "flaunt" is a close second

Apparently the Princess of Wales and Meghan have stunned recently in sweater vests. Unless I missed a whole story about women knocking others out with their knitwear I would prefer a different term. Maybe they could just write that Catherine and Meghan looked nice in their jumpers?

themessygarden · 12/10/2023 14:17

Have placed my order for the slips, although most colours and sizes are out of stock 😞

Kate and William at a sports event for visually impaired people.She always looks better and younger casual gear, I think.

M&S do half slips and full slips. In different lengths. They are so useful.

Everyone looks younger in casual gear not just Kate, the more ‘dressed up’ someone is the more they look the age they are, and there is nothing wrong with that, I think we need to get away from equating young with looking better.

mikado1 · 12/10/2023 17:22

To me she looks even slighter in her skinnies than she did a few years ago, I think! She just looks so comfortable too in the sports gear, I'd say the dressing up gets boring fairly fast.

Here we go. Brilliant. Light, comfortable and stop clothes being see through or clingy. I also have the camisole version to wear under tops with trousers. Loads in store where I live.

What shoes would you put with yesterday's fab outfit maireas?

themessygarden · 12/10/2023 17:34

@Maireas Thank you, yes, that's the one I ordered in both black and white, a lot of the lengths in my size were out of stock though, I had wanted the nude one. I also bought a half slip. Didn't think of the camisole. They had baggy culottes type bottoms which seemed to have great reviews also, don't know what they would be worn with.

Thanks for the suggestion.

Maireas · 12/10/2023 17:40

Interesting question, @mikado1 - I rather like some of the ones Leti has been wearing of late - I'll find a link. Definitely taupe or beige, I think.

Leti has these, and I thought they looked good on her, although I'm not too sure about them for Kate.

Whereas I was admiring her very toned thighs in them - she clearly never skips leg day!

themessygarden · 12/10/2023 18:43

Yes, the definition in her thigh muscle is amazing.

mikado1 · 12/10/2023 21:34

Lovely with Kate's. I was thinking a darker colour, I should have said, and wondering what style shoe.. say for Christmas etc?

Eaumyword · 12/10/2023 22:09

I like Kate's casual look there, especially the white trainers! I'd have teamed it with a different top - maybe a breton or loose roll neck jumper with side splits. I get she was keeping it professional with a blazer though.

KillingMeDeftly · 12/10/2023 22:18

I prefer the blue version https://isabelabdo.com/en/producto/carrie-blue-suede-sling-back-blue-5-5-2/
