Do you think the baggy, shapeless, oversized clothing trend is flattering?

Now that is a really nice dress. If only it was a bit shorter.

Wouldn’t work as well.

Pockets are political.

The women / pocket thing furthers my post-Jungian Cornforth Theory of Handbags; I will expand if anyone is willing to listen … ?

Handbags theory….? Projectile ?!

I’ll try again, but it won’t take the picture, so that post was useless!

This is my new spring dress. I am 5’ 7” and size 18. I also try to dress age appropriate. I know it isn’t fashionable to do so, but honestly at battling on for 80 there are some fashions that I would look ridiculous in.

‘Dresses’ and ‘fine tradition’

Beautiful dress Mary

Many of Dior’s ‘New Look’ dress had pockets, including wedding dresses; so your DiL is continuing a fine grand in haute couture!

Very clever!

Hope you saved us some

Lovely Marydoll - and plenty of room for pockets in that full skirt!
The cake looks good too ?

She and ger mother made the cake! One layer of Victoria sponge, one of chocolate and one of traditional fruit cake. It was delicious.

I once treated myself to a baggy, draped sort of jacket that I thought looked rather good. The first time I wore it DH said "Why are you wearing a dressing gown?" and it went straight back to the shop. I like a loose top over a pair of jeans but all the really baggy stuff just makes me look ten times bigger.

Wait until the sun comes out there will be plenty of flesh on display mostly ghostly white but scarlet after a few days of spring sunshine. Oops where did I put my white jeans and cold shoulder top?

Some of us just love talking about frocks GreenLady. We’re sharing things we like, not criticising other grans.

^My DIL got married last week and she had concealed pockets in her wedding dress. A fabulous idea^.

I expect she's young and not lumpy like me, Marydoll!
Congratulations to your DS and new DIL.

If I put anything in a pocket I'd just look more lumpy!

The dress!
