I normally have a lot of time for Camilla and like her style, but this time her fashion adviser somebody needs sacking!!

When I first glanced at this yesterday, photographed from a different angle, I honestly thought it was Grayson Perry.

Then best not to make others angry Jingle. Why not wear purple or spit , sit on pavements ? Just don't expect everyone to be kind

I think Camilla has again brought dignity to the title Princess of Wales - which she is - but that dress was most unflattering

And DO NOT put words into my mouth about Hindley. Or I shall become very angry

jinglbellsfrocks Mon 30-May-16 11:55:59

this one

You're being a silly Billy now. smile

Not worth an argument. Plants to plant and a Spring Fair to go to.

(Read the poem. That one by Jenny Joseph)

So I should lie and say Sarah Palin would be a great Vice President . Thatcher was the greatest PM this country has elected. Moira Hindley was led astray. It's understandable Nigella Lawson had an affair whilst her husband was dying ?

wink for bags if she reads this!

jinglbellsfrocks Mon 30-May-16 11:45:28

Yes. smile

Even Bags with her boots.

Anniebach Mon 30-May-16 11:40:54

What side Jingle? Are you saying women must applaud all women no matter what they do,say, wear ?

Gunilla Mon 30-May-16 11:36:42

Frilly bit on the hips, not a flatering look even for a slim Lady like Camilla

Gunilla Mon 30-May-16 11:36:02

Frilly bit on the hips...not a good look even on a slim lady as camilla.

jinglbellsfrocks Mon 30-May-16 11:32:57

quote not 'quite'

jinglbellsfrocks Mon 30-May-16 11:32:16

The rest of you are all so letting the side down.

Don't any of you have the face to quite the "I will wear purple" again. hmm

jinglbellsfrocks Mon 30-May-16 11:30:21

Hooray! A fellow thinker at last! Agree magsymoo. smile

townie Mon 30-May-16 11:24:20

Not up to her usual standard. Think she usually dresses very well and appropriately.

angie95 Mon 30-May-16 11:16:26

Horrible dress, far to frilly, it looks as if it has been made out of cut off pieces and sewn together by children ..

Pamaga Mon 30-May-16 10:58:18

I don't like Camilla but I personally am sick of media - and people on social media - making judgements and comments about what women choose to wear. Many of the comments would not be made to the person's face. I was so sad to read Sarah Millican's article on the subject

OMG - it looks like her petticoat has lost its elastic and fallen down.

Wirralnan Mon 30-May-16 10:25:03

That is a wardrobe error of massive proportions! It wouldn't matter whose body it was on, it is dreadful. I think Camilla must have been paid to wear it! Only joking there, but the dress or whatever, is one of the worst I have seen a Royal wearing.

peaceatlast Mon 30-May-16 09:30:44

Definitely looking like a little girl let loose with the dressing up box, lol.

moobox Mon 30-May-16 09:15:59

Perhaps she's been getting style tips from Haydn Gwynn in The Windsors

Emptynester Mon 30-May-16 09:15:00

I haven't seen any criticism of C herself, but is it only me that thinks this looks like something that's been made from a number of outfits, as the top looks like it belongs to a fairly ordinary dress from a suit or dress and coat, customised with the flounces and sadly doesn't work on any level regardless of who is wearing it!

Anniebach Mon 30-May-16 08:54:19

The frock is awful, Camilla wasn't forced into it, this isn't vicious , yes we can dress as we choose and we are free to say some choices are grim surely

Alea Mon 30-May-16 08:40:38

As the person who started the three, if you read the words, the only criticism is of the judgement of an unknown stylist and of the outfit itself. Heaven forfend that "feminist solidarity" means we are not allowed to have an opinion on an object (not a person) or express it among "friends" albeit "virtual" hmm
And no I do not consider I have joined the ranks of the "vicious" tabloids. angry

whitewave Mon 30-May-16 08:30:54

I think magsymoo has a point though. The tabloids are vicious enough without us adding to it I suppose. I shall cease forthwith.
