I think the women in this article have made a real effort to buy a dress that they feel fantastic in , and are obviously enjoying themselves . This isnt directed at you Ray in any way but I find articles like the one in the OP smug snobishness of the worst kind . Mind you its better than last years

Keep up the good work, Ray
It'd be great to see these ladies descend on Ascot, to the great dismay of the Royal Enclosure

Agree with you about the looks and enjoying themselves Sarah, us fellows don't get the variety of choice that women have.
I just find the setting incongruous to the style, more suited (pardon the pun) to a night on the town than a horserace.

they would have to sort out the problem of the fake tan dripping into the bollinger before going to ascot.

But the crowds might turn out to greet them at Ascot.
Aintree and Ascot have always had a very different core audience , it seems that Aintree is now a day out with racing , there are nail bars at the course and Matalan opened a pop up shop .

Seems horse racing is becoming an "us and them" theme, then, Sarah.
Or not

Aintree for me, Sarah. I'll steer a wide berth from Ascot.

The Mail has done a real hatchet job on the women at Aintree, I hope they do similar when Ascot is on but I bet it will be full of skinny and stylish 'ladies'.

I try to be neutral and polite but it is hard and getting even more difficult at times.

Well said Jan, both meets have their fair share of intresting fashions but the Liverpool artical is always slightly sneering in its tone . Mind you last year Ascot had a mass brawl

i never knew all that about the racing, fashion and the daily mail, probably because the subject would have been in the woman's section.
i think ray has some explaining to do.

Howard, I was looking for the article about the 25 firemen who couldn't rescue a drowning seagull and this was the new top story on the page.

Sadly most of the dresses are wrong on many counts - either too long or far too short
Having said that the men at Aintree are on the whole much worse dressed...

Ross a Puritan
We need now the view of a Royalist on the dressing habits of the Ascot visitors. And that person certainly won't be me
