To continue the discussion.

I thought the comparison with the Duke snd Duchess of Windsor (last post on the previous thread) was interesting.

A visit to a dodgy regime, (Nazi Germany) because they would call Wallis HRH and make it a quasi-royal tour.

Of course, at that point Nazi Germany had a dodgy human rights record, but it was before the horrors of the Holocaust.

Let's face it, with the security and human rights issues there is no way the IG could happen in Nigeria. So that is sn excuse.

I do not think that's the dress. The one you posted looks a bit better, although not very stylish, imo.
Have a look at the recent post, from @smilesy .

I think it is the dress. I’ve seen that photo. Whatever, it doesn’t have a lot of coverage at the back, is the sort of colour that makes you look naked at a glance and is far too long to walk about in without hoiking it up 😂

aparagonofvirtueanddecorummyarse · 10/05/2024 20:23

I’m not sure that is a wide panel either. Although to be fair, it isn’t entirely backless.

Still not appropriate for school children though.

@IsoldeWagner

It is https://wwd.com/pop-culture/celebrity-news/meghan-markle-heidi-merrick-dress-nigeria-visit-1236376080/

but you may struggle to recognise it as you seem to be confused by rears and sides? 😆

Haven't you posted that pic already?
Are you getting confused?

Is it? It just looks worse in the peachy pink.

Pollipops1 · 10/05/2024 20:26

No, I linked an article which mentioned the designer so you could google if you fancied.

Yes

In one picture she looks like she's in the nude!
Awful, tasteless.

I was mystified by the colour choice so I asked ChatAI why anyone would wear a flesh coloured dress. This is what I got back:
“Some individuals may feel more confident and comfortable wearing a flesh-colored dress as it closely matches their skin tone, providing a sense of familiarity and self-assurance.”
Sounds like a load of cobblers to me!

Right. It's not completely backless, no.
I'm going to say not too much of a back to it, and not flattering, but I don't know what her arrangements are vis a vis clothing.
I don't like skin toned clothing, but that's a personal choice.

Pollipops1 · 10/05/2024 20:28

Its better in the black but think it would be too heavy then.

I don't like the black. Maybe red, and I would say it's evening wear.

aparagonofvirtueanddecorummyarse · 10/05/2024 20:29

Meghan may be a lot of things but salmon pink she is not.

Unless there is yet another colour of skin under her dress.

Not many have salmon pink flesh.

JSMill · 10/05/2024 20:31

I've just seen this picture on X. I don't think the teenage girls were very impressed with her dress either.

I don’t think it looks like evening wear in the peach but it’s ok to dislike it. I just think there’s a fair bit of hyperbole in the comments about it.

Quacking4it · 10/05/2024 20:31

She should have worn flesh coloured tights and clutched a pillow to her chest like Biana Censori

peanutbuttertoasty · 10/05/2024 20:32

It really is the worst possible dress. Zero redeeming qualities.
I’ve never known a worse dressed woman in terms of resources:clothing ratio. It’s like a talent

Pollipops1 · 10/05/2024 20:32

Excellent timing!

My goodness you are pedantic. Ok, so strictly speaking it is not backless, but would you agree that it doesn’t offer much coverage? Do you think it’s appropriate for anyone to rock up to a school showing that much flesh?

Pollipops1 · 10/05/2024 20:33

@smilesy the irony 😆

😄

It's a sideless dress, which is more revealing than a backless dress. Hope she picks out a pretty dress for tomorrow's show.

I know flesh colour is fashionable, I really don't think it looks good.
When she was an official royal and subbed by Charles she wore good strong colours, red, yellow, purple, green. I thought she looked far better.

aparagonofvirtueanddecorummyarse · 10/05/2024 20:36

Probably disappointed it wasn’t jam and lemons.

Not really. I’m just trying to pin you down as you like to argue the toss 😊

eta. Waste of time I know 😂
