Me, I thought it hilarious, Mum was not amused.
This sense of horror seems to be particularly prevelant at weddings, especially if two people have bought the same hat!!

Re: How would you feel if....

I think if ,as others have said, if you were at a wedding or some special occasion, but if it was just a top or trousers from a high street shop it wouldn't bother me

Re: How would you feel if....

I once went to a night club wearing a long emerald green dress with straps that crossed over at the back.

As we were being shown to our table I passed a woman wearing exactly the same dress.

We both took stock of one another for a second then simultaneously said 'Snap' & laughed.

It didn't really bother me.

Ahh making your own is the way to go, I think! I have altered a few tops and skirts to make them a little bit different, but that's the extent of it. Good for you to make a special outfit though, Tabby, well done!

Can't say I have, Dex - I'll keep an eye out for that! Women have a lot of choice for these kinds of footwear, mind you...!

Yeah, I reckon it would be worse at a special event, but then - as others have said, its the confidence to acknowledge that and laugh about it!

Your dress sounds so pretty, Carol! Not sure what I would have done in the situation....probably the same, but inside I would feel a bit awkward for a bit. Must be a social shyness thing I think.

What, black joggers, white T shirt and jeans or shorts? I wouldn't mind in the slightest. we fashion icons believe that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.
