Oh my - I need to get married so I can wear this!

It’s so gorgeous:

For the reception I haven’t decided, but possibly a dress from here:

Ho hum - I’ll have to hit the apps. 😄

(Very sorry, I don’t have a question.)

The dress is hideously crumpled too - you'd think they would have steamed it for the shoot. Imagine how rumpled you'd look after a limo ride to the venue. It does irritate me when designers don't consider such things.

I considered Droopy & Browns frump central when I was a young'un in Edinburgh in the 80s. For the older, wealthy woman, not the fun and fashion forward.

As Tim Gunn used to say, "If that's the look that you were going for you've certainly got it."

I was more early 90s D&B. With lots of money to spend on clothes!

Why would elderly and wealthy exclude being fun and fashion forward, though?

😂😂😂

It would if you shopped at Droopy & Browns!

🤷‍♀️ I was young back then …

Sigh, I was late 20s then and couldn't afford it. Wish I had just blown my budget

I think that's beautiful too.

Are you baiting us OP? That’s hideous 😆

I’m sure we had a fake Barbie/ Christmas angel from Poundland that was wearing that.dress. Luckily she didn’t have legs so escaped the wonderful shoes.

The shoes 🤢

some of them are wonderful and some may look better in the lived flesh rather than the odd poses. love the hats and the big oilskin stuff.

some are definately not my style now, but I would have possible worn them if I was alot younger and thinner

Looks like a cross between a lab coat and a straitjacket!

As to who might wear Cawley Studio clothes - there’s a Radio 4 program on this afternoon on 19/20th century female gardeners. I’d say the daywear is exactly how they might have dressed if they’d been around now.

As a gardener in the 90s my gardening wardrobe was mostly from the farm shop + partner’s cast off tweeds, and I may sometimes have mixed those things with D&B stuff.

You can think what you want about an outfit privately. However many have decided to comment to shit on someone's joy about an outfit. Notice how the OP didn't actually ask for anyone's actual opinion in her original post - they were just sharing an outfit that they loved.
This could have been a joyful, celebratory thread about interesting clothes and why we like them.

Miserable behaviour.

I mean the thing that your eye is drawn to isn’t the dress but the miserable model.

Well, I’m quite open to comments and opinions, @lunarpossum. It would be a very quiet thread otherwise. (And I’ve had much worse reactions on other threads I’ve started!)

What I don't understand is, if OP you are someone fabulous enough to wear such a bold standout dress, and to really really love it, why would you ever take it off?! And put something else on for the reception. There's only really one occasion you could wear that dress (wedding) but the dresses on the other site you could wear to all sorts of functions. Never understood 2 dresses for a wedding. I had a big tulle ball gown and I even slept in it 😄 (and other wedding night stuff) I never wanted to take it off as I knew there was nothing I could ever wear it to again :(

I hope you find the man of your dreams to enable you to wear the dress (or 2) of your dreams!

I bloody love some of those bridal designs!

Yep, this is Grayson Perry, or alternatively Annabelle the doll.

I mean, at least it isn't as bad as that D&G wafer ham dress that someone else posted recently

Well, quite. The rudeness.

Is it like a flex to dress as hideously as possible, like "I am so beautiful I can even wear this horrible dress"? Just trying to understand. 😂😂😂
