TM and THAT dress

I don't think it's sexist - after all, we have had Harold and his Gannex raincoat (and Mary ), Michael and that 'donkey jacket', Margaret and her handbags and pussy cat bows, William Hague and the baseball cap (what was he thinking?), Jacqui Smith's cleavage and last, but not least, The Tale of Jeremy's Vests.

To name but a few.

Brigitte Macron does not look chic nor 'in good shape'.
Melania Trump shows how it should be done but she is younger of course.

I would take the fat knees to be a size 12 Lady

i think for being on holiday her dress was okay, loosefitting and summery, I wear clothes on holiday to suit the climate, even shorts that I wouldn't wear at home. I'm a size 12 with fat knees, always had fat knees!

Haven't read all of this thread, but I particularly enjoyed this re. her holiday pics:

Nothing wrong with it but my wife wouldn't wear anything like it

Aaaah but your wife might not have as nice legs as TM. Cindersdad

Coo, I've never heard so much springing to the defence of TM! In general I agree that her dress sense is better than some of her colleagues who force themselves into too tight suits. Ditto the First Minister here in Scotland who also teeters about in too high heels, even when appearing at "outdoor" events. But this is all on official business, what any of them wear on holiday is their own business.

Is this what all the fuss is about

She looks like a woman on holiday, in a suitable dress. I have a dress like hers, except colour of black. I like wearing it when the weather is hot. I'm over 70 and do not think my sartorial choices are to anyone but me and DH.

MayBE

I like the dress too - I love pink. Wish I could wear it but not with my veiny spindleshanks

For what it's worth, I'd have worn leggings under that dress or used it as a beach coverup. May she didn't expect press photographers be stalking her. She and her DH will probably outstrip the press when they take to the hills anyway unless they use a drone. Basically, who cares? It's her competence to run the country that matters, not her choice of clothes, isn't it?

Is it possible that the newspapers deliberately used the least flattering photo of her? I remember reading that they always used to choose the worst possible ones of Cherie Blair. Just wondering...

Must have been your youthful looks and not just the dress Lillie. I bet his comments made your day. Enjoy your holiday in Nice; sounds like the weather there is a lot better than it is here.

I agree we all have bad days.

I like the dress on her, she's only sixty. Hope she wears her hiking shorts tomorrow.✋️

You folk on here have given me a troubled day with your criticisms of TM's dress!! Currently on holiday in Nice I thought I'd put on my new expensive Hobbs linen dress to go out to lunch, and that's when the niggly doubts started. Is it too short, am I too old for the youthful style, is the colour flattering? Poor TM, if she has to worry about those sort of fears every time she goes out. It can be unsettling.
Anyway who is bothered how I look, as long as I like it, (but now I wasn't so sure), oh well, no one will notice? WRONG! I just happened to get into conversation with a French waiter about the joys of retirement etc. and he genuinely was shocked how young I looked, nowhere near retirement age!
My choice of dress has been vindicated, although I expect many another female, including a few GNs, may have pulled it to pieces.

I love colour. I love different. I can do it. If she is happy wearing it it's her business. It's not affecting anyone what she wears. Ì am more bothered about what she does as PM as that does affect me. Incidently I don't like the dress on her. However I don't care as it isn't affecting me. Now would offend/affect me is being stood or having to be stood next to someone who stinks as thanks revolting

Sexism here what does it matter. Whatever she wore someone would be critical of it. Pity some people do not having something better to worry about.

What a sweet, kind person you are ninny ?

It wouldn't matter what I wore, DH wouldn't bat an eyelid.

Me (parading up and down in a new frock); What do you think of this.

Him; Ssss'oright

Men certainly don't notice nicely manicured nails or pretty earrings [imo].

If I looked like TM in that dress I'd be happy to wear it.

I think women dress to impress other women, not their menfolk...

I do agree with that Tegan .

I am happy to show a bit of leg but draw the line at cleavage. Nothing worse than an old wrinkly cleavage (not that I have one) but apparently it comes from sleeping on your side.

If you put yourself in the public eye you do have to accept criticism I'm afraid.I do get the impression that she is someone who regards herself as being attractive [eg prior to being PM she did show quite a bit of cleavage on a regular basis ].Having said that [and probably totally contradicting myself in the process] it does seem unfair that women are always judged on their appearance far more than men.But then again, it's women who judge other women, isn't it; men don't even notice.In fact, I think women dress to impress other women, not their menfolk...

Since when did being Prime Minister mean your holiday (or day to day) wardrobe is open to ridicule? I elect a person on their policies, ability to govern and putting the needs of the UK first. NOT on their dress being an inch shorter than Mrs Nobody in suburbia thinks they should be.
I'm sure we all wear clothes that at the time believe we look good in..but look at photos later down the track and wonder why we thought we looked the bees knees.
How petty must a person be to get upset by someone else's clothes.. there are no boobs hanging out...no arse cheeks on show so what is the problem?
