If you were at a wedding and another guest was wearing this

Would you think their proper outfit had met with a nasty accident and they had no choice but to borrow this from a large man and try to style it out?!

Damn I'm old ShockHmm

Yes, I would think it’s completely inappropriate and bizarre at any occasion

SiobhanSharpe · 14/04/2024 08:45

Pretty much, yeah. But I am old too.

BarrelOfOtters · 14/04/2024 08:50

I the guest looked like her it might look fab. On me it would like I’d forgotten my trouses and needed taking back to the care home.

SirChenjins · 14/04/2024 08:51

Yeah, not a great look for wedding! I suppose we’ve all made dodgy fashion choices at some point in our lives when we look back and think wtf was I thinking.

ViciousCurrentBun · 14/04/2024 08:51

A large man from the 1980’s no less.

AuntieStella · 14/04/2024 08:52

I don't like that look

It seems unfinished at best, but I would assume it was deliberate choice and that the person wearing it liked it

This. People would be approaching me and taking me gently by the arm.

I'd think she'd lost her trousers, spilled something over her top, and had to borrow her dad's jacket.

Not flattering, not appropriate.

SiobhanSharpe · 14/04/2024 08:57

I'd also hope she was at least wearing knickers underneath. Otherwise how would she be able to get up for a dance after the speeches?

Jokl · 14/04/2024 08:59

It’s a very ugly dress in my opinion, but lots of people would like the look of it I’m sure. The issue for me is that it is far too casual for the occasion and also far too short.

iknowimcoming · 14/04/2024 09:06

Thank god it's not just me, I was looking for ideas for DD (24) who is stuck on what to wear to a summer wedding, and thought I'd better look somewhere younger than John Lewis etc to avoid the eye-rolling!

That is really not a dress is it 🤦🏻‍♀️

SnapdragonToadflax · 14/04/2024 09:08

Yes, it's hideous. Surely no-one would wear that to a wedding though? I can see it at a pub with some very short shorts underneath.

usernother · 14/04/2024 09:15

No matter that I think it's awful, it's not appropriate for a wedding.

HullaBallu · 14/04/2024 09:39

If she's heading off to a Terry & June convention after the reception, though, it'd be perfect.

Mamette · 14/04/2024 09:52

Finding myself wearing that at a wedding is a thing that might happen to me in a nightmare.

In fact I’m pretty sure I’ve had that nightmare- looking down and realising omg I’ve no trousers on 😱

FlabMonsterIsDietingAgain · 14/04/2024 09:54

Boohoo have closed some of their factories recently so I'm guessing they found a few hundred boxes of old fashioned men's blazers and decided to remarket them as dresses.

Moonshine5 · 14/04/2024 09:56

Where is the wedding being held?
What type of wedding is it?

Noseyoldcow · 14/04/2024 10:29

She's channelling Meghan Markle. She likes to wear clothes that are way too big......

Moonshine5 · 14/04/2024 10:59

Woman bashing so early 👏on a Sunday morning. Bravo @Noseyoldcow 👏

Noseyoldcow · 14/04/2024 11:06

Blimey, lighten up! I just saw the picture and it brought Meghan in ill fitting clothes to mind.

Moonshine5 · 14/04/2024 11:31

Gaslighting too - you're on fire this morning 😂😂

Meghan often wears ill fitting clothes. She would look fab if she had a a seamstress to hand who would alter garments to fit her properly.

It's only 'women bashing' in your mind. To others it's just a simple critique of someone's attire.

Moonshine5 · 14/04/2024 14:45

Lol is that another alias ?
OP asked about the photo and opinions on that not to bash a woman of colour. It was the clothes not the person.
But you carry on fighting the fight

DrJoanAllenby · 14/04/2024 15:08

Back to the op I recall an actress wearing just a big blazer type jacket at an occasion years ago!

My mind is saying it's Julia Roberts or Shania Twain or JLo, I just can't remember who it was!

Or was it Celina Dion?

80s or 90s I think? 🤷🏼‍♀️
