I've been away doing charity work for the past few months and I've just arrived home to a raptuous greeting.

The pub is holding a party this evening to welcome me home.

Which dress should I wear?

I think the wedding outfit is very ageing, though it is a lovely colour on you.

I prefer the hat that hides your ears, though they are very pretty and a lovely feature.

Actually, Maud, I'd like to see you in a Liberty floral print with a v neck.

That is a good point. Do you have a link?

Oh Magpie, I blooming love Katya Wildman, and covet a Grace, but can't justify the expense.

Have you thought about trying something in a different colour, Maud?

Thanks for proving me right!😂

I have one of the Bombshell Pockets dresses and I look absolutely bloody fab in it. You should definitely get a Grace!

Hmm, it's a bit daring.

And suddenly I have cleavage!

Do I need the blond hair as well?

You are a total knockout in that dress, blonde hair or not!

As you seem to like the 1980s look @MaudfromtheBluestocking how about something like this? Fresh & young, eye-catching but not too OTT.

Ditch the hat & go with a fascinator or stunning earrings?

It feels very swooshy

Fascinators are out, I thought?

I'm not sure about the neck line

Oh yes Maud. I love that. It's very you.

Maybe not.

This is so difficult! What time's the party?

What happened to the frills??

Nobody's suggested a jumpsuit yet...

Really? I think it suits you. Come on, Maud, channel your inner 1980s Laura Ashley!

Hmm. Maybe not that, either.

Definite winner!

FuzzyPuffling · 16/09/2025 19:54

Yes...it's jumpsuits all the way for you Maud.
And luckily, gerbils don't wee, so you'll be ok.

MaudfromtheBluestocking · 16/09/2025 20:01

The jumpsuit it is then.

Thank you, I'd have never thought I had the hips for it, but it fits really well.

I started the party in the light blue plain dress, but will continue in the jumpsuit.
