Watching repeats of the great British sewing bee(even though I don’t sew). They made a blouse with a pussy bow tie. I realised I’d never ever wear one. What would you never wear ?

Anything frilly.

FannyCornforth Tue 20-Oct-20 10:03:48

Jeans.
They look utterly appalling on me.
Any shoe or boot that isn't flat.
Polyester.

Julia Somervilles dress on Rip off Britain this morning , it’s like a long leather ish black bin bag.
Awful, even the puff top sleeves weren’t on her shoulders.

Jane10 Tue 20-Oct-20 10:04:57

Crocs

Teetime Tue 20-Oct-20 10:06:29

Leather trousers
Anything orange or yellow
Ripped jeans
Bare shoulder tops
Cropped tops
Dr Martens boots
Anything tight

I agree about the dress Oopsadaisy! Horrid - and it must be like a sauna in there!

Jeans, yes Fanny - at least I know I'm too old for them now!

Jane, Crocs around the house and garden - but never in public.

Skirts/dresses above the knee - not with my knobbly knees!

GrannyGravy13 Tue 20-Oct-20 10:10:35

Definitely no crocs
Boob Tubes
Crop Tops

Oopsminty Tue 20-Oct-20 10:11:41

Crocs for me too

kittylester Tue 20-Oct-20 10:12:58

A dress or skirt
Leggings
Anything too patterned

Hetty58 Tue 20-Oct-20 10:13:14

Teetime - I really like the cold shoulder tops. My shoulders are actually still nice, unlike the décolletage, arms and neck (they all had too much sun)!

FannyCornforth Tue 20-Oct-20 10:13:46

Crocs are very comfy
(runs and hides)

Lucca Tue 20-Oct-20 10:15:31

Ah yes i hate crocs too except on children maybe!
I admit to wearing jeans though but always with a long top.

Can I add anything with sequins or appliqué on.....

I have no need to be comfy in my coffin ;-)

Lucca Tue 20-Oct-20 10:16:29

Nearly forgot....those fleeces with “scenes” on....howling wolves etc

crazyH Tue 20-Oct-20 10:19:20

Wide leg 3/4 Trousers - my legs are so skinny, they look like sticks

FannyCornforth Tue 20-Oct-20 10:20:25

A bikini!
Aarrgh!shock

M0nica Tue 20-Oct-20 10:21:18

A bikini.

Bought one for my honeynoon and never worn one since. Not a question of body suitability, just found it so uncomfortable, constantly worrying if anything was slipping or showing. I prefer to just put on a swimming costume and forget about it.

Blossoming Tue 20-Oct-20 10:21:22

Leopard print

Fur

Lucca Tue 20-Oct-20 10:21:54

Oh lord a bikini .....dreadful image.

FannyCornforth Tue 20-Oct-20 10:23:35

Lucca - do I win?wink

Lucca Tue 20-Oct-20 10:26:45

Not necessarily. For me the bikini thing is due to unsightly flesh but other things maybe just fashion crimes ? So some people look glorious in a nice bikini but would still look awful in the howling wolves fleece

Dee1012 Tue 20-Oct-20 10:28:09

Any skirt / dress above the knee.
A fleece jacket.
Crop tops
Ripped Jeans
Anything pink!!

FannyCornforth Tue 20-Oct-20 10:28:14

Ah, good points Lucca, you've clearly given this much thought...

LauraNorder Tue 20-Oct-20 10:29:06

That dress worn by Julia Somerville looked like a giant Margaret Thatcher handbag.
I wouldn’t be seen dead in a bikini, must remember to tell my children I don’t want to be buried in one.
