Tonight's Monsoon Show

[candycane]

Ashling and Pipa are leading the fancy dress parade on the Monsoon show this evening. What on earth does Pipa look like in that outfit. Looks worse than your PJs and Ashling's dress is classic 1970s Laura Ashley. Who's going to go out the door in either of those get ups. I've got loads of Monsoon clothes and nothing remotely like these monstrosities.

Watching now. Worried for Pipa in those trousers, she'll trip over the hems if she takes a step forward.

My thoughts exactly! Not cheap, either! Even husband commented, and he doesn’t usually take that much notice.

I can’t abide those elongated drops at the backs of garments.Odd looking from the back.

LOL, yes Mr CC was having a good old chuckle at the outfits - "please don't buy that as I'm not even going to pretend I like it"

Even if I was given Pipa's outfit, I wouldn't wear it. It's a joke. It's so cool, they say, trying to shift it. And Ashling's belongs in the Frump collection.

Apparently, she likes her trousers to 'pool' on the floor. Silly biddy. They were three sizes too big.

I've just had a look and OMG! One of them looks like she's repurposed the fabric from a 1980's sofa and the other, well I do not have words! The best I can come up with is a mash up between a pair of pyjamas and a prison outfit. The legs are ridiculous! The arms on the dress likewise. I don't think many people will be flocking to buy.

 

[Clothescloth]

They clearly need to do a health and safety assessment on those trousers! Nobody would be able to walk more than a couple of steps without getting into a tangled mess! Surely the hem would just rip and fray, and get filthy dirty very quickly.

 

[Bea Frugal]

Completely ridiculous. Pipa and Jill look like they’re trying to be down with the young generation with their silly trousers. They don’t tell us all the occasions we could wear them because there aren’t any except maybe cleaning the floor. Not worth risking a broken hip ladies.

Whether you liked the dress or not, it was so pleasant to see the plus size model wearing something that actually fitted and flattered her. I must be in the minority as I actually liked the dress. Too expensive and not in my size. I make similar ones for around £25 - £30.

Actually I agree that Natasha did look much nicer in the dress than Aisling. I think it needed a curvier body to show it off and as Natasha is taller the sleeves didn't look so huge. The "cricket" jumper looked daft as the back was hanging down a good six inches longer than the front. Can't see those stripey trousers ever selling.
