Wow, Harry and Meghan!

If Meghan lost weight, they would have made adjustments the day before. Personally, I think maybe the complaints come from the cut of the armholes. Any tighter and her arm movement would be constrained. Also, supposed there are no seams in the bodice. From my view, not sure about on the sides, from arm to waist. So, just saying.

And if you missed the real 80’s, ski, you missed Dallas and Dynasty. Fewer women wore that extreme of shoulder pads. It was more like the pads you traditionally see in a well made jacket, even today.

Yes, I have sloping shoulders, and those very modest shoulder pads actually looked really good on me. I still have a few ancient favorite garments that I haven’t brought myself to part with that I won’t attempt to wear because they are just SO dated that it almost feels like costume dress.

I’m still super into all the 19th-century silhouettes – Empire, 1860 hoopskirt, 1880s bustle – but they do scream a particular era, so it’s hard to re-run them without looking like you’re wearing a costume.

Grace Kelly was the ultimate wedding look of all time IMHO. There’s literally nothing she could have worn that could have been more timeless. It would look chic and elegant tomorrow (reflected in the fact that Kate Middleton more or less recycled it to great acclaim).

I still don’t like Grace’s dress. But her daughter Caroline’s insprired me.
But yo get back to a prior thought, we can appreciate anyone’s choice, if it’s what they wanted. (Not counting ogling the craziness on Say Yes.)

Well, Diana’s choices have already has been condemned and mocked. Double standards, apparently.

Really cute, @techmom99
Made me smile :slight_smile:

Thank you. I also don’t care if our opinion is unpopular. :wink:

Anyone remember Diana’s black sheep sweater? I remember wanting one at the time, ha ha.

CC won’t let me link it, but you can google it if you don’t remember.

The black sheep sweater came around again a few years ago evidently as Mindy Kaling wore an updated version on her show in one of the earlier seasons.

Back in the 80’s, I had a lot of Diana-style, big bow blouses and the Diana hair cut.

Apologies if already posted. CNN reports on Meghan’s new coat of arms.

Love the California poppies in the coat of arms.

The look on that lion’s face is hilarious!

I love the songbird and the flowers.

It’s sweet, but to me it kind of looks like a project a high school art student would do.

Except Florida is the Sunshine State.

Golden State. The golden rays are symbolic of the Golden State.

I don’t like the crown around the bird’s neck – kind of looks to me like the bird is either wearing a collar or is chained up. But whatever…

I saw a comment on social media saying the lion looked like a Scooby Doo version of a lion. :slight_smile:

Have a look at Kate, Duchess of Cambridge’s coat of arms: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Coat_of_Arms_of_Catherine,_Duchess_of_Cambridge.svg

That lion looks pretty similar.

But the explanation of the Crest said the rays were for the Sunshine State.
