Camillas Clothes

[Vagus]

I think she dresses a lot of the time in a very drab way, with clothes which don’t do her figure any favours.
If I had her money and access to designers who’d give their eye teeth to dress her, I’d bite their hands off. I really think she needs some advice, she has a not bad figure and could really look very smart but fails to most of the time.
What do you think?

[Rosetta]

They are clothes she feels comfortable in. If she was very glamorous ,I am sure she would be accused of further stealing Diana's mantle, yet another no win situation

[Barsel]

I think she is already getting advice and I personally think her clothes suit her.
Don't forget to take into account her age and the comfort she would require.
When she is dressed for an occasion, I think she looks great.

[Vagus]

I don’t know, Rosetta, she could have her own style without being overly glamorous but still look a lot smarter than she does. Her clothes look like ‘comfy clothes’ but surely she could still have that comfort and also look a lot smarter?

[Vagus]

She’s only 75, these days that’s no age and many ladies of that age look a lot smarter.
If she’s getting advice then I think she needs to change her advisor!

[pastafreak]

She's 75 years old and dresses according to age and her social position. Like many our age, she's lost her waistline...and choose comfort. A few weeks ago she wore what I thought to be a very attractive and flattering beaded dress...she got insults for that.
I'm her age and would probably wear styles that are more offbeat...but that's me.

Nothing wrong with the way she dresses

[Barsel]

I do believe most people who are young, tall and slim look good in most things i.e Katherine for one.
Camilla is older and does not have the slim figure or age on her side, but I still think she looks far better that she did when she was Camilla Parker Bowles.

[Tilly2]

She's lost her figure and wears dresses that hide her lumps and bumps.
I think she looks better in casual clothes, a shirt, jacket and jeans/trousers.

What prompted me to start this thread is the blue dress she wore today. She looked awful, it was unflattering and just enhanced the bits Tilly has mentioned…in at the waist and flared out over her hips, so it drew attention to her thickened
waist and no longer slim hips. And was a bit too short, as many of her clothes are.
Don’t get me wrong, I’m no supermodel and have a thickened waist, a tummy, and lumps and bumps where I’d prefer them not to be. But if I had access to all the advice and designers she must have, well, I’d chuck out most of her wardrobe and start again.

[Barsel]

That was a blue coat she was wearing and I noticed the bottom button was undone which makes it look untidy I thought, but the back of the coat was really nice.
If her clothes were longer, she would look swamped, she would need to be taller.
Carole Middleton often wears her dresses too short and not a bit flattering. Have a look at this picture of her taken at Wimbledon.

I'm not too bothered, but she does seem to look rather frumpier than the previous queen.

Poor Camilla damned if she does, damned if she doesn't.
Princess Di is dead, she is now King Charlies squeeze.
So what!!

[david small]

Squeeze? Wife, life partner, spouse, consort, yes. Squeeze...NO.

[DTCwordfan]

those two - 'squeeze' - not very flattering but probably true. Given their past form, they are probably like a pair of Highgrove rabbits......

[david small]

DTC In their mid seventies the only correlation with rabbits is that they both eat lettuce.

[douglas9401]

And at least one of them has big ears.

[david small]

Nice one Douglas. Lol.

[Vagus]

Just to be clear, this has nothing to do with camilla as a person, I actually quite like the woman, she’s grown on me over the years, I bet she’s good company and enjoys a laugh.
It’s purely about her clothes and I agree with jno in that she dresses more frumpy than our previous queen.
Princess Alexander on the other hand, who is ten or more years older than Camilla, always looks stylish and smart, and I doubt she has nearly as much money to spend on her clothes as Camilla does.
Anyhow, thanks for all your answers.

Her clothes are perfect.
She is a Queen.
