Its like the guests that were in the 'big fat gypsy wedding' documentary.

They do all look like they're having a good time though and I sort of admire how they're not constrained by ummm good taste.

Does put me off maxi dresses big time though.

Gypsy wedding! That's exactly it. Are we assuming that the second lady is due imminently? Because that dress is doing nothing for her if not

Reminds me of

"Whats it like to have no friends?"

"I have got friends"

"Clearly you havent... friends wouldnt let you go out looking like that"

You are all being catty and mean, it is nice to see people making an effort. At least its better than looking at the saggy grey tracksuit bottoms that you see on an average Saturday afternoon in a shopping centre!

making an effort? Are you looking at the same pictures I am ?

Aw, leave them alone. If they like their clothes then that is OK with me.

Well yes, I quite agree that if they like their clothes we shouldn't take the piss too much. But what happens if the grey tracky bottoms in a shopping centre are things of beauty to the wearer?

Either you point and laugh at people who look dreadful, or you don't. And that applies to those who don't give a shit as well as those who try too hard.

I'm sure they must be doing it for a dare? See who can get their pic in the papers?

Yellow boot woman got her inspiration here

I love that the question, 'now, what will go with these vile yellow boots' was obviously met with an inspired moment of 'I know, a vile yellow pashmina'. Can't say I have anything that colour just lying around

The 80s were shite from a fashion POV first time round. Why oh why are they being relived??

I was there today with work, running a promotion. We do it every year and it is seriously hilarious to watch the sights that turn up. I have never seen so much orange skin on display in one place, it's brilliant.

I actually saw the girl in the yellow dress with the black wrap being photographed, she was over the moon, reckoned she'd make the style pages, poor, deluded fool!!

The worst is when it's freezing cold and these girls are in strappy numbers with acres of chubby, goose-bumped, orange flesh but they refuse to cover up. I love it!

Bring on ladies day tomorrow

Some of those outfits are ok, and in any case its unkind to laugh.

Ha HAAAA this is great.

What the hell makes a bucnh of deluded women think that maxi dresses and summer frocks is appropriate wear for a windy as hell racecourse in chilly Liverpool at the beginning of April.

They have ladies day at Cheltenham 2 weeks prior to this and people don't dress like these loons.

Bless them. I bet they think they look lovely. But they look hideous.

I remember last year there was a great big piece about Scouse style in ST Style mag, and then Aintree happened a week later and we were subject to these horrors. Lol. Stylish they aint.
