I see ...well, go easy on champagne girl .. :lol: . I am thinking long dress rather than short and flowers rather than a hat ... |
| Anteater |
| Oh come on... is it possible to have too much champagne??? As my darling husband pointed out as I was looking at fascinators and flowers... I need the hat for shade more than a fashion piece!!! :cry: I just love the races!!! Giddee Up!!! :cheers: |

| I wanted to wear a hat, but couldn't find a decent one this year - so it will have to be a fascinator. |

| I always go for a fascinator as hats just don't suit me. This year I shall be in monochrome. Bubbly all round! |
| scarlet |
| ooh we will go well together chocs. You in monochrome - me in scarlet |

| I was wondering if any of you fine ladies can help me out!! Unfortunately in the so called Dubai fashion is mostly wih women rather than men which is why we men always check out females!! hehe!! Leaving aside that. I have been trying to get a Top Hat like for ages. If anyone can tell me a store or someone can get one and all. I even heard there are certain measurements for hats. Whats the deal with that!! |
| JMK |
| prints, chifon seem to be the best choice .. :) .. I might go for 60s boho-chic look with big hat, heavy eyeliner and short printed dress... Ladies - where do you buy your fascinators from? |

Any chicken farm. Unless you are looking for fancier feathers then a turkey farm will do. |

| That's one thing I really can't stand, is all the women dressed to the nines, smashed out their skulls by the end of the night - where's the class. Tipsy is fine, but completely wasted is just trampy. |
