Meghan's awful dress yesterday

[cherrytrees123]

Just saw the pics of the dress she wore to the wedding yesterday. She normally has fairly good dress sense, but this? It looks like a curtain she took down off a window. It even has some loose cords hanging off it. It swamps her and just looks truly atrocious.

Fgs, how is commenting on a dress a personal attack

[SheGotBetteDavisEyes]

Alright, alright, hands up, I'm asking for the thread to be deleted

Because you don't like people calling you out for being so bloody mean? Is that a reason to get deleted these days?

[QueenoftheNights]

Surely if this section is the Royal Family it's here for comments on them? Which includes what they wear. Why is it out of order to discuss someone' clothes? Do your own friends and family not ask for your opinions on their clothes for example if they choose something new? Are we no longer allowed to have an opinion on anything any more or discuss fashion?

It’s not the worst misdemeanour, just a bit inane to chunter about a dress
I’d not be requesting it to be deleted though,no actual harm done
And Meghan I doubt she peruses mn wondering what we all make of her attire

“I think it was the royal equivalent of putting your comfy tracksuit bottoms on when you want to relax a little after having done a long shift in a more strait-jacketed, restrictive style whilst out glad-handing with the grandmother-in-law”

Well, if it was, a society wedding is a bit of a strange choice for a “track suit bottoms” moment!

No idea what the dress is like- you can’t tell from a still photograph in windy weather.

I’ve had a look now, I take back what I said earlier, looks like she is making her own dresses from from her granny’s old linen. Meghan I salute you and your new found. humbleness .

[Kintan]

She looked fine - probably just dressed a bit less glamorous than usual to not be accused of upstaging the bride,

I'm not sure why this thread would qualify for deletion? I thought it was usually for when a thread broke talk guidelines or threatened a poster's own safety or privacy. Not when they've expressed an opinion it's backfired?

That would be amazing, if she'd bought a duvet cover from Oxfam for 50p and run it up on her Singer.

I have zero fashion sense - she could wear a bin bag and still look great as far as I'm concerned. The photo of her and the queen giggling was lovely.

[Papergirl1968]

I don’t normally comment or take any interest in fashion but it’s got to be said, MM’s was a bloody awful dress. Some of the other outfits weren’t much better, including Lady Jane Fellowes’ coat, which looked like it had bits of Fuzzy Felt stuck to it.
On the plus side, the bride looked beautiful and her dress was lovely.

What a completely bitchy topic - shame on you OP and others supporting your view. I thought we were above making snide childish remarks about how another woman dresses. Flipping Nora I give up on woman kind sometimes I really do

[headstone]

If she had actually made her own dress I would also be impressed even if it wasn’t perfect. Indeed she could look beautiful in a binliner

[LipstickHandbagCoffee]

All that money spent on clothes when there are people starving
What an asinine comment.
If you’re going down that route why do you have fripperies like internet etc when there are people starving.
Do you forgo new items because people are starving ,eke out a meagre existence?

[specialsubject]

as you ask: big flowers are frumpsville on anyone, even someone as pretty as Meghan. But this kind of granny's sofa on legs look is par for the course at weddings. Must be this fashion thing.

nearly a over t with the shoes too, apparently. As always, Harry walks and Meghan staggers. I know the rest of us can't buy smart shoes with fit for purpose heels but surely she can get some made.

[midsomermurderess]

There is a huge thread on this on the Daily Mail, post after bilious post on how awful 'Me again' (and such nonsense) looks. Get over there, I suspect you'll have much fun.

[Andthenshesaid]

Fuck getting it deleted

Amazing how MN loves a thread slagging off working class women at the races - with a DM link of 224 photos but poor MM needs protecting from her awful dress choice.

[MontyBeaujangles]

Put her in a big bag and she would still be beautiful!

some of MN. Probably the same ones slagging Megan. I certainly wasn’t slagging off women at the races. I do remember some who were though.

[DuchessofSuccess]

I agree with OP, the dress is hideous and the woman is stunning. I think whoever is styling her is on a sabotage mission.
I've yet to get a "wow" day ( since she joined the Firm) and yet I absolutely like her.

[AvonCallingBarksdale]

Do I like the dress? No, not really. But to start a thread about it, really??

[flippyfloppyflower]

I never do condemn women on how they dress and I never condone other women who do so. It means a woman can only be judges on how she looks and not on her talents, skills and achievements. Enough men judge us purely on how looks - we really do not need women doing the same.

[headstone]

I don’t think it is an asinine comment . I’ve always questioned the sheer excess of the rich and I always will. I have a lot of respect for the super rich like Bill Gates who are actually quite modest individuals. I believe I live a fairly modest life yes. I have some pleasures but nothing excessive. I’d like to think I would continue that way even if had a bigger income. Why is it deemed stupid to question the excesses of the extremely rich?

[sockunicorn]

i think its nice enough. beautiful print. and, to be honest, she may be "doing a kate" and dressing down a bit so as not to take focus from the bride (which would be lovely of her)

[LyingWitchInTheWardrobe2726]

I'm just flabbergasted at the arrogance in the OP - "She normally has fairly good dress sense".

There seem to be an inordinate number of women on mumsnet who truly perceive themselves to be the arbiters of fashion and goodness knows what else. It makes me cringe and annoyed in equal measure.

We all have different tastes in clothing and everything else. I'm more likely to comment on a dress that I like, would probably not comment on a dress that I didn't (because there would be nothing to say about it really?) but regardless, I'd just leave the woman wearing it, alone.

The mean-crew on this thread; you'd be gutted if people made nasty comments about the clothes you/your children wear. Are you/they fair game too?
