I thought they looked lovely today. Is their improved fashion sense down to their husband’s influence and not their mothers now?

I read that Meghan’s outfit was ‘greige’ which sounds like the colour of a tapioca pudding or something. It was an odd style, with that thing sticking out over her shoulders at the back. A cape?

I like the flying saucer hats!

I think Lady Freddie Windsor and Beatrice have the same dress in different colours. Both looked lovely

I guess in those circles these things still matter. Doesn’t affect the rest of us and I couldn’t care less what they do with their gloves.

Some of the dresses in the shops are so frumpy looking I’d rather wear last year’s clothes.

I couldn’t believe how old Freddie Windsor looks now! I expected the blond boy I remembered!

With so much else to worry about surely it would make sense to have your gloves on strings through the arms of your coat
???
I remember that feeling

Elastic is better than string for keeping your mittens safe! boinnnnng! grin

Did anyone see the pics of the Cambridges in Wales today? Catherine had a sticking plaster on her thumb - maybe an industrial injury or even monkey pox from glad-handing the peasants. ?

Harris one of my favourite summer dresses is 15+ years old. I love wearing it and it’s so soft and comfortable now.

Yes.

Did the designer not mention it to them both?

Germanshepherdsmum Sat 04-Jun-22 17:46:45

Probably bought online!?

Thanks for enlightening me about Kate and Meghan's (got it right that time, volver!) dresses. I thought they were both white. Must be our telly.

It's a surprise to me that people still give a hoot about 'the correct dress code for ladies'.

With so much else to worry about surely it would make sense to have your gloves on strings through the arms of your coat.

I’m just catching up with this thread and that really made me laugh.

I was taught a lady carries her gloves in the same hand as her clutch bag which would have to be the left hand if you were expected to be shaking hands.

I went to a very posh wedding when I was fifteen and did as instructed. One of the ushers who I fancied like mad offered to hold my gloves for me and I never saw them again.

I used to dream that a jealous girlfriend found them in his pocket and broke off their relationship.

They more than likely ended up in the bin! ?

or they have now been well used which doesn't bear thinking about
