" Yorkshire lasses," strutting their stuff.
Many of them will know about racing and horses lots of horses are bred and trained in Yorkshire.
As others say what did we all look like when we were young I had a trunk I did not take home because of the clothes in it. Why would Aintree be any different? Maybe more botox.

Crikey. I’ve just clicked on the link. They do look pretty awful don’t they. I’ve always found York races to be pretty tasteful. Aintree however shock

That was in response to Ladystardust.

I've been to various ladies' day events, some with clients, but have dressed, shall we say , rather more conservatively.

Indeed they do. And the attire of many 'ladies' at the races isn't mine.

How do you know they don’t know the first thing about horse racing?
If I went to a ladies day event, I’d dress up.

Surely looking back at photos of your youth and going what was I thinking is fairly normal. I was a goth and had a demi wavesmile

I didn’t see anything too bad today. I always think that ladies days are the only time that women can wear the sort of expensive outfits they’ve bought for a wedding and would otherwise not get a chance to wear again.

I think most of them look lovely! It's a fun day out and an opportunity to dress up and look glamorous! Everyone has their own version of glamour I suppose!

From experience when I have been on duty at any. Ladies Day Race event, they stay sober enough to notice or care what they look like.

I know this sounds like it should be a sports thread but trust me is is definitely one for S & B
I have just seen the photos of young and some older ladies dressed in some dubious dresses which don't leave a lot to the imagination.
Why do they think that wearing high heels and tight fitting / see through dresses with the ubiquitous facinator make them look glamorous?
I know they go just for an excuse to dress up and don't know the first thing about horse racing but I wonder when they and look back at the photos in years to come what will they think.
