I can never understand a winter bride buying such dresses, or not getting something pretty to wear over them outside. Years ago my friend got married in winter and wore a cloak with a hood, all trimmed in white fluffy 'fur' - it looked lovely and she was able to take it off to show the dress underneath inside the reception, but for the photographs she looked lovely but warm.

Bridesmaids had similar little cloaks too.

That's the problem with off the shoulder dresses - you can't wear your thermals underneath!!!

I think if she carries on dressing like that in this weather that she wont grow old enough to get chilblains OR bad kidneys...

Sure hope the man in a Kilt had thermal underwear on or HE may get chilblains in some tender places..

The man in a kilt may have had thermal underwear on!
As for the girl - has she never heard of chilblains?
