Camilla frock shock horror

Thank you Jingle

I think it's not Camilla doesn't want to try and compete with Diana, she wouldn't want or need to surely

It was a compliment to the Welsh mountain actually.

We have rather a lot of them Jingle and I admit they can be grim in the winter

Hello, jings. I've ordered them

Is it allright if I don't care two hoots what Camilla wears?

I would say one hoot is an acceptable minimum.

Just love the poem by Jenny Joseph! Wasn't aware that wearing purple was not seen as 'the done thing' so do explain - why, please?
I have to declare an interest that I actually quite like purple.

Silly old trout has finally lost it. (Not that I was ever of the opinion that she had it, really)

Oh well.

Di-a-bloody-bolical dress . You would have thought Charlie would have said he wasn`t going out with her looking like that .

I can't say that would been my choice of frock but each to their own!

A couple of years ago I was flying up to Aberdeen when I spotted someone I vaguely knew seated a few rows in front of me. I didn't get a chance to speak at the time but when the flight landed and she stood up, I realised that the person I 'knew' was in fact Camilla. She looked like someone you'd know as a doctor's receptionist or who worked in the library or somewhere.

She was wearing a coat that had seen better days but she obviously loved! Her security detail was seated on the opposite side of the aisle while Camilla was sat next to a rather bemused-looking Chinese lady who was wondering why her fellow passenger had been given a bouquets of flowers by the cabin crew.

I suppose we have all looked at old photos of ourselves at weddings etc and thought " oh my God, what was I thinking when I wore that?' Well I have anyway. Rabbie Burns springs to mind....."Oh that God the gift ha' gies us, to see ourselves as others see us!! Thankfully most of our fashion disasters don't make the front pages of the tabloids.

Agreed (re looking at old photos) ... at the end of the day- that dress is bl**dy awful, we all agree. But she made Charles happy and Diana did not... so there are more important things.

I reckon she has put a white sleeved blouse over a rather lovely cream sleeveless dress. You can see the top of the dress if you look hard.

I have worn some awful things, still do

Not a fan of Camilla, but must say I think the criticism of her weight etc in papers unfair she is not a young girl, so what if she carries a bit of weight, I think she dresses appropriately, she looked in the mirror and obviously was satisfied with how she looked and that's what matters, I thought it was an interesting look. As a woman of a certain age it's nice to look a little different.

under a slightly bleak Welsh mountain, I could see the Welsh mountains today and they weren't bleak, the sun was shining on them
Half the time she goes around dressed like the queen mother instead of a woman who is still young attractive
Young? I must be young too then, oh yipee
(however I wouldn't wear that and I think she will consign it to the bin/charity shop when she sees pictures of herself in it.)
And I didn't think she was overweight either, probably just right.
I must say, for someone who seemed a 'jolly hockey sticks' kind of young woman she has gained elegance as she has got older, but this dress was a faux-pas.

synonomous I think it's more the fact hat she intends to wear the purple with a red hat that doesn't go.

j Ye, a favourite holiday cottage of ours has views of the Black Mountains and on a sunny day they are anything but black. Very beautiful. I love the Golden Valley.

yes. Not ye!

I would wear it round the house.

I would wear it round the house
When you go to the Golden Valley perhaps? Presumably not at home where the neighbours might see you

Or the postman. (though it's slightly better than my old pink dressing gown)

You could dye it purple

Every sympathy with the writer of the article pamaga linked to. Makes you cross doesn't it.
