New ministry-approved dress for Mrs. Thailand revealed
By Sasiwan Mokkhasen, Staff Reporter



BANGKOK — Mrs. Thailand’s new-and-approved national costume was revealed Monday.

Designer Tortermfun Chaisiriphan said he spent one week making a new outfit for Kanticha “Yui” Chimsiri after his Golden Pagoda dress, inspired by the kingdom’s most venerated temple Wat Phra Kaew, was criticized by the Ministry of Culture as “inappropriate.”

The 22-year-old designer said the new dress, inspired by Thai rice and woven bamboo fish handicrafts, would show off Thailand’s agriculture on the stage of the Mrs. Universe pageant held August in China.

[Saraphee]

Is that it?

[Fookhaht]

After the last two I was almost afraid of opening this thread.

Whew, at least she wasn't wearing an elephant head or dragging a miniature BTS in her "train"...

[Laughing Gravy]

Does that come with matching fake nose, lips and some botox? I have to say that the other countries have nothing to worry about in the dress department if that's it. I do feel a lot better could have been done but just my opinion.

[aguy30]

National dress? <deleted> is the first thought that comes to mind.

[DrTuner]

Looks very juntish.

[baboon]

Now I am far from an authority in these matters, but 'Drag Queen' was the first thing that popped into my head...?

[Just1Voice]

That looks about as "Thai" as a pair of Levi's.

[thai3]

she might have red knickers on though

[mtls2005]

So that's the approved dress for the two lads on either side.

What about that lady in the middle?

[Winniedapu]

Jeez. I think the tuk-tuk was better than this. How on earth much did they pay someone's wife to design that?

Whatever it was, it was too much bu a long way.

[CantSpell]

I would have thought, you know, military uniform would be more suited

Would give a positive image of happiness and all...

[RIJoe]

I see a partially peeled banana.

[SABloke]

I always wondered what a mermaid working in the fields looks like

[klauskunkel]

is that a fish trap purse she's carrying?

[gandalf12]

That is it? No there has to be more, that is nothing special. Cant imagine seeing many women wearing tt around the markets. There again the designer is only 22. She has a long way to go to rival the big names in fashion.

[Bluespunk]

That's a very busy outfit. Loving the hat...

[soalbundy]

she might have red knickers on though

or none at all

[soalbundy]

love the pointed shoulders, screeches, get out of my way

[hkt83100]

Someone must have played with the dials of the time machine.

[taony]

That looks stupid and not Thai.

[waldroj]

Inspired by Thai rice - obviously!

[Seewolf]

Honestly this designer has not too much experience............my opinion. It could be much better and without Hat!

[LannaGuy]

in Khaki surely?

[northernphil]

Would of looked better if the coat hanger was removed first.

[haroldc]

Hideous

[ratcatcher]

Mrs Thailand and her fancy dress. I trust Mr. Thailand has approved of it?

[The stuttering parrot]

Going against the grain here.

Had a look at the other picture and actually I don't think it's to bad.

I'm no fashion guru but the design sort of reminds me of the 40 or 50s movie star look.

But some of your comments had me in stitches.

[JAG]

It's the only official outfit I've ever seen in this country which doesn't include medal ribbons and para wings!

She looks like a Patpong showgirl doing an impression of Anna Leonovens,, (at least what I imagine one would look like, wouldn't know myself of course).

I wander if the chains attached to her right arm are meant to have any subliminal meaning?
