LOL!!!! The White House tailor threw Trump under the bus

[CatWoman]

Trump's look is not my fault, says White House tailor as he insists he doesn't know where President got his poorly fitted state banquet attire from - while Savile Row expert reveals: 'It's wrong in every way!'

Ismet Dil's company has provided outfits to American Presidents for a century

Mr Dil, 69, tailor at Scogna Formal Wear, said he did not recognise Trump's suit

Patrick Murphy, from Savile Row tailor Davies and Son, said 'everything you can imagine' was wrong with suit

The official tailor to the White House has insisted he's not to blame for President Donald Trump's ill-fitting tuxedo at the state banquet with the Queen.

Ismet Dil, 69, whose company has provided dinner jackets and tails to America's leaders for a century, claimed he didn't recognise the suit, which was heavily mocked online and criticised for being 'wrong in every way' by a Savile Row tailor.

'This is my profession. It’s not right,' Mr Dil, the master tailor at Scogna Formal Wear told The Times.

'I don’t care if he is president. Someone is responsible — somebody helped him get dressed like that.'

Trump chose to wear a ludicrously long white waistcoat, paired with a tux jacket that stopped halfway up his midriff and featured overlong sleeves.

1. Lipstick on Pigs and what not

nt

[TheBlackAdder]

96. Traitor Tot's suit is even shittier. Besides standing like a 110lb 17-year-old after lifting weights

.

The jacket shoulder is at least 2-3 inches past his right sholder, and the rest is a mess too.



.

[DesertRat]

138. And so wrinkled. Gross. nt

[The Genealogist]

2. Needs a text box and red circles around the hands, pointing out their tininess

[DBoon]

4. How about an icon of a magnifying glass?

nt

[The Genealogist]

5. Works for me!

[lunatica]

3. Well now we know it wasn't just us being unfair and snarky

The entire galaxy agrees with us.

[BigmanPigman]

72. The buck stops with him and his narcissism.

If he looked in a mirror with a normal person's discerning eye he would have seen what he really looks like. His ego is the problem here and with almost everything he touches.

[SidDithers]

6. I bet Melanie dressed him...nt

Sid

[CatWoman]

12. it looks like she's laughing WITH us

[ProudMNDemocrat]

7. Being a Professional Seamstress myself......

As well as Altering clothes already made, I noticed those faux pas also.

I wonder if that was intentional on the Tailor's part given Trump's body type. A shorter vest would have made him look even tubbier at the waist as more of the trousers would have to be seen then from a distance.

But what can you do when your subject looks like a tub of lard?

[keithbvadu2]

17. 239 pounds

[paleotn]

73. 20 years ago...

He's got to be pushing 280 to 290.

[Maraya1969]

133. Wow, that is a lot! The medical doc said he weighted 239 but he also lied about a bunch of

things so he may have been lying about 45's weight.

[paleotn]

142. I think he did. Or IQ45 lied.

I just don't see 239 lbs there. It's more like 280, given how tall he is.

[obamanut2012]

144. Nah, he is ten pounds over or under 300, easy

[FakeNoose]

19. His big belly is the problem

He wears his pants too low with the belt and waist below the belly so all his shirts and vests need to go long to cover it. So that makes the jacket too short and the vest hangs too far below. Looks ridiculous.

[diva77]

25. here's his stand-in trying on the tux for him

[samnsara]

57. love it!! Thanks for the giggle...

[obamanut2012]

145. hahahahaha

[Hekate]

43. I don't see the hand of a tailor in any of his wardrobe, so I think he just gets expensive suits...

...off the rack and puts them on. With his personality, I doubt he would accept advice from anyone, including Melania.

Two or three years ago GQ noticed and did an electronic "makeover" that was impressive. His size and shape can be dealt with discreetly, and all the rest of the disaster from pants cuffs to jacket sleeves can as well.

Frankly, in England he looked like an old man who's slipping and probably needs the car keys taken away as well.

[druidity33]

88. probably refuses...

to let anyone touch him to take measurements. Or thinks the measurements will get out. Probably once got a poorly tailored suit and has forever disparaged tailors... any number of things explains why he wore this suit.

[TheBlackAdder]

106. Probably orders them from Alibaba--made in China, to save a buck.

[calimary]

134. Looks like he grabbed somebody else's jacket at the last minute.

Ridiculous. Embarrassing.

The Ugly American. Inside as well as outside. Clothes don’t make the man. But in this case, clothes don’t make the piece of gold-painted shit on two legs, either.

[MaryMagdaline]

46. I think it was proubably self-sabotage by a know-it-all customer

Trump’s the type who’ll point to a suit, maybe something worn fabulously by George Cooney or Daniel Craig, and say “I want that one. If I don’t look good, it’s your fault.”

[whistler162]

48. Probably picked up at a Tuxedo King used sale.

[grumpyduck]

60. Nah, it's probably from his own clothing line.

That way he could get a discount.

[enid602]

90. Multi task

There’s a Tuxedo King right next door to Heidi’s wig barn, so he was able to multi task.

[Mersky]

118. Ha. Hahaha. Yes. n/t

[irisblue]

94. Is a cumberbund white tail appropriate?

[ProudMNDemocrat]

147. No..Cumberbunds are worn with an informal Tux jacket...

[img][/img]

White Ties and Tails is far more formal, often worn with Vests.

[img][/img]

[Poiuyt]

107. That's why he wears such long ties

He thinks they have a slimming effect on him.



You've got to admit, he does look slimmer, don't you think?

[trueblue2007]

115. Trump is a FAT TUB OF LARD ...... Horrible and UnHealthy. He "fat shames" other people .....

[obamanut2012]

143. A friend's abuela is a professional seamstress

And she said the same thing -- it was obvious the waistcoat was being used to cover Trump's stomach, and probably to hide a corset/girdle. In the long run, it made it all the more obvious.

She also said the jacket looked as off the rack as tails could be.

[CatMor]

8. Why doesn't the so called ....

super model fashion maven Melania advise him. She has as much fashion sense as he does.

[IronLionZion]

22. His fashion designer daughter Ivanka might have dressed him

[catchnrelease]

29. Lovely

My first thought when I saw this was that she had stuck a paper plate on top of her head.

[SunSeeker]

31. Is that Mnuchin's ugly mug behind her? Why is he there? What a pack of grifters!

The entire administration is taking a fancy European vacation paid for by us taxpayers!

[CatMor]

34. I guess bad taste runs in the family ...

must be in the genes.

[BigmanPigman]

70. That outfit is from TV show Dynasty circa 1985

Little Miss Fashionista is out of date by 35 years.

[IronLionZion]

77. They're making America great again

by taking it back a few decades

[BigmanPigman]

82. Back to the beginning of the end of our democracy.

Reagun brought us unchecked govt, trickle down economics BS and Fux Ruse. Oh what a joyous time we have had since than.

[onetexan]

124. Lol its probably from her fashion line

All of them are using this opp to grift, as usual.

[badhair77]

79. I thought she slapped some pizza dough up there

[IronLionZion]

84. She was tossing it in the air and that's where it fell

so she decided to just go with it.

[badhair77]

110. Lol.

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

129. LMFAO!!

Bernie & Elizabeth 2020!!!
Welcome to the revolution!!!

[paleotn]

75. Malaria?

I wasn't aware pole dancers were fashion mavens. I suppose some could be, but as a general rule....

[CatMor]

87. I should have used the sarcasm button

[paleotn]

91. No worries.

I was following along with the snark. In fact, I have no first hand knowledge of whether Malaria is or has ever been a pole dancer. That's purely speculation on my part.

[CatMor]

93. But it sure does sound plausible.

[Kid Berwyn]

9. Trump's cheap. Here's what he originally planned to rent...

They didn’t have Hamburglar in stock or orange, though

[CatWoman]

13. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

[Me.]

11. He Dressed Himself

in what he thought would make him look thinner, probably off the rack cause he's too cheap

[PatSeg]

30. Even if he had help getting dressed,

he is so stubborn and difficult, he probably insisted on the tux the way it looks. He probably thought it made him look thinner. Lately he has looked absolutely awful, well worse than usual.

[tblue37]

66. That super long waistcoat is like his long ties. He thinks they make him look thinner.

He needed the waistcoat to cover his gut.

[PatSeg]

130. Exactly

We are all starting to understand the way the man thinks and what HE sees when he looks in a mirror - the fake tan, the hair, and the ridiculous attempts to disguise his ever expanding girth. Most of us are deceived by what we see in the mirror occasionally, but then we see a photo or catch a glimpse in a store window and wonder "What the hell was I thinking?"

Trump is probably the most photographed and filmed man on the planet and apparently, he still cannot see how clownish he looks. There is truly something wrong with the way his brain works.

[StarfishSaver]

14. When you're the president and your tailor says, "Don't look at me. *I* didn't dress him!"

that's a sure sign you completely screwed up your outfit.

[MaryMagdaline]

50. Exactly. Can't blame the guy. Reputation is everything

[randr]

15. It is featured in the Trump Spring Clown Catalogue

[keithbvadu2]

16. Don't forget his escort's sleeveless dress.

Don't forget his escort's sleeveless dress.

The right wing had a fit over Michelle Obama's sleeveless dress.

[True Blue American]

23. Her dress is too long,too.

Look at the queen.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

39. Is sleeveless considered bad taste? Curious...I know lots of etiquette rules when you

are in the royals presence. Related - never knew it was a slur to wear sunglasses at a solemn event. (Malaria did, and they all tsked tsked her).

[Grasswire2]

81. At the state dinner, bare shoulders are verboten. But worse...

......Melania went to meet the queen without hosiery on. Bare legged. THAT is really low class.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

95. Ha. In a typical, normal presidency (oh lord please have that happen again!) you would

Have people around you who knew all this and advised you. People who had been around a long time. The Trump's have banished anyone who disagrees and anyone related to Obama in some way.

Although it may be just that they know the proper, just choose to thumb their nose at it all - because they are the GREATEST EVER.

P.S. Am having flashbacks to catholic mass where if you crossed your legs you were going straight to hell.

[Grasswire2]

104. Laura Bush knew how to be proper.

But then her MIL was no doubt a strict teacher of manners.

I also noticed that Melania crosses her legs like a trucker when sitting. Proper etiquette for a woman of substance is to cross her legs at the ankles. Not at the knee.

[NBachers]

18. It's the sartorial equivalent of congealed cold McDonald's hamberders at the White House team dinner

[WePurrsevere]

20. Melania's revenge? 😉 She looks like the cat that got the cream while...

He looks even more miserable than usual... Good. While I'm normally a very kind person I just admit to a bit of schadenfreude when I see him looking this way.

My sympathy lies with her majesty. Her normally well schooled expression looks like she's thinking, I can't believe I have to be gracious and stand anywhere near this boorish buffoon.

When I first saw this pic of a day or so ago I pointed out to my husband how very wrong it all was. Even he knew the whole fit was all off.

[NBachers]

21. I'm glad to see Malaria showed up ready for scullery wench duty.

Her new inflatable *kidneys* are ready to bop the Queen in the face if she turns too fast.

[SunSeeker]

27. LOL

[LiberalLovinLug]

24. What an awkward looking photo

Besides the ill fitting suit. At least the two women attempted to put on a happy demeanour for the camera. I don't know if Donnie thinks he is looking more 'Presidential' by trying to look serious? Although his serious face is more of a "you fuckers, if you screw up this photo you are going down". Can't he just for one minute at least look relaxed, and happy to be there?

[underpants]

28. Trump, International Man of Misery

[LiberalLovinLug]

33. lol

[Mazeltov Cocktail]

59. Lol

[VOX]

103. HAHAHA and he loves to share it with the world!

Shameless, utterly.

[Grasswire2]

105. and a "constant sorrow" for the rest of us....nt

[underpants]

113. Nice

✅

[tblue37]

67. He deliberately scowls because he thinks it makes him look like Winston Churchill. I read

that is why he scowled in his official WH photo.

[SunSeeker]

26. He surrounds himself with incompetents. A bad suit is the LEAST of the damage they're doing. nt

[marble falls]

32. I just want to always remember him just like that, always. Or better yet, in orange with a number.

[world wide wally]

35. And he thinks he looks so dapper...

What a nimrod

[EveHammond13]

36. probably could not get off twitter/toilet/golf long enough for a fitting

[trixie2]

37. Someone helped him get dressed.............

Maybe Mr. Barrow, from Downton Abbey, up to his old tricks again.

[NBachers]

89. I think it must have been Basil Fawlty from Fawlty Towers.

[malaise]

38. My take is that he does not trust anyone to measure him properly

Where's the outrage from the screamers about Obama's tan suit?

[lpbk2713]

40. He ordered it through Sears online while it was on clearance.

Got some nifty long red ties too.

[grumpyduck]

41. I hate to be nitpicky, but

that's not a tuxedo he's wearing -- the outfit is called white tie and tails, and the coat itself is called a tailcoat. A tuxedo looks more like a suit.

Other than that, yeah, the whole outfit looks terrible, and the Queen's totally English expression looks like, "Blimey, can I ever bloody unsee this?????"

[OnlinePoker]

42. She probably has a bottle of bleach in her purse for after the occasion.

Seriously, though, what does a 93 year old monarch carry in her handbag?

[KY_EnviroGuy]

47. Keys to the Kingdom and liquor cabinet.

.............

[grumpyduck]

58. I seem to remember something on TV,

maybe a documentary on the Royal Family, where it was revealed what she carries. I don't remember exactly, but it was nothing unusual; like maybe tissues and lipstick.

One thing she supposedly carries all the time is one of those clips you put on a table to hang your purse.

[tblue37]

69. Or a bottle of scotch. nt

[CatWoman]

85. Queen uses her HANDBAG to send secret signals to her staff

[MineralMan]

92. A Webley .38 revolver.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

102. A dime bag, a Beretta, a package of condoms,

doggie treats, a flask of Glenlivet, an icepick, and £5000 in unmarked bills.

[Johnny Noshoes]

125. oh well done!

[MFM008]

126. Reading glasses

Lipstick.
Magna Carta
Vibrator

[sheilahi]

128. and

Polident

[Aristus]

76. I agree. Since this whole thing started, every time someone in the media called it a 'tuxedo',

I wanted to beat my head against the wall.

What he was wearing was white tie and tails, an entire level of formality above the tuxedo, which is 'black tie.'

And even the term 'tuxedo' is a rather crass nickname given to what should be called an evening suit.

[obamanut2012]

146. I'm glad you were nitpicky -- it is driving me bonkers

How folks keep calling this a tux.

[KY_EnviroGuy]

44. Some people say...

Bannon is tRump's concierge and butler, part time.



Sort of adds up, eh?.......

Rumors are there's a smart phone app now that can size you for a tux using its camera. Eliminates the tape measure.

One-click ordering with that overstock store...

[alphafemale]

71. His shirt is fu-k buttoned

OMG

[smirkymonkey]

97. "Drunk Eye for the Fat Guy"

Lovely job, Steve. Just lovely.

[dawg day]

45. The tailor should post this picture and say, "This man -- this is my work. The clothes, that is."

[link:|This was a president who really knew how to wear formal wear.
]

I mean, it's about tenth on the list of good things about Barack Obama, but he really is stylish.

[DeminPennswoods]

62. Well, his bowtie looks a little off kilter...

but that's nitpicky.

[Aristus]

74. I'm okay with that. If a guy's bow tie is a little askew, that probably means he tied it himself.

Clip-ons are for wimps.

Every man should know how to tie a bow tie. Every time I put on formal wear, I tie my bow tie. Looks better that way.

Beau Brummel once complained that it took him an hour to make his cravat look as if it had been carelessly and hastily tied.

[brush]

100. It's like a shoelace knot.

[gtar100]

116. Clip-ons are for people who aren't comfortable with putting a ready-made noose around their necks.

Just sayin'. It's one of my paranoias. One of them.

[Aristus]

131. If choking is, for some reason (?) your worry, you're better off with a real bow tie.

One tug on the tail and the whole thing comes apart. Plus, an untied bow tie will make you look like Frank Sinatra after a set in Vegas.


With a clip-on, you have to undo that metal clip, which could take longer.

Also, if you feel like your tie is choking you, it probably is because it's too tight. Tie it more loosely. A tailor once told me that businesswear and formal wear should be as comfortable as casual clothing. If it isn't, it's not fitted properly.

[sir pball]

78. His waistcoat.is showing, but otherwise it's pretty spot-on

Technically in full-blown white tie, not even the tiniest sliver of waistcoat.should show below the jacket, but that's so common these days it only matters if you're in the Met Gala contest or something. So much better than that sartorial monstrosity we just witnessed...

[GulfCoast66]

108. The tie is not perfect, which shows he tied it himself.

And not being a royal and under the British fashion microscope is understandable. Had he let Michelle tie it I thinking it would have been perfect. But if that man was dressed perfectly he would upstage the queen!

His cuffs show on the right arm but not the left. But, you can see he is wearing French Cuffs as he should and I would bet $1000 there is a story about the cuff links he is weary. Since Trumps sleeves come to his tiny fingertips who knows?

[JI7]

49. he doesn't want anyone to know his measurements

[SayItLoud]

51. He wanted to cover his fat gut....left the Spanx at home...nt

[Miigwech]

52. Obviously, it was President Obama's fault

lol

[tymorial]

53. I am totally laughing out loud right now

You can just feel the disgust, horror and loathing in Mr. Dil's words. It's a priceless example of " it's not my fault that the president is an idiot"

[Politicalgolfer]

54. Size matters

Ever think that since he lies about his weight, his narcissistic vanity insisted on wearing a size ten times too small for him?😎

[gopiscrap]

132. welcome to DU

[stillcool]

55. He reminds me of a

Rodney Dangerfield character. But so not funny.

[samnsara]

56. i just thought he was being his normal ugly self...

...what an effing dweeb. Melania must be SO PROUD that he is hers..ALL HERS!

[LakeArenal]

64. Hers except for the porn stars and bunnies

Oh, and Hope Hicks.

[czarjak]

80. True love!

[Historic NY]

61. Mr. Creosote was dapper

[link:

|]

[PatrickforO]

63. Wow.

Do you think the queen is struggling to hold laughter inside?

He really does not look good in this suit.

This reminds me of Ron Weasley's formal robes in Harry Potter. Just so...wrong.

[Cha]

65. It was perfect! trump looked like the

stuffed dumbfuck he is!

[colorado_ufo]

68. I haven't seen Melania smile like that since she spent time alone with the Obamas.

How in the world does the Queen keep a straight face?

[democratisphere]

83. There is just so much that can be done to cover a body like that.

The Emperor has f'ed up clothes.

[sop]

86. He probably asked Melania "how do I look?" and she responded "I really don't care, do you?"

FTFY

[warmfeet]

99. I am very tired of him being thrown under the bus,

figuratively. Literally would be so much more satisfying.

[Kaleva]

101. The Queen assigned Thomas Barrow to be Trump's valet.

[PatrickforO]

109. Trump continues to bring shame upon the United States, its

people and its constitution.

Ick.

[coeur_de_lion]

111. I would love to be a fly on the wall when the British monarchy

was discussing trump visit.

Before the visit:
Well you know he’s nuts. Just smile for the photos and pretend you’re interested in what he has to say. And be nice to his staff they have to be losing their minds by now.

After the visit:
Dear God. I had no idea it was possible to be that stupid and that rude all in the same person. Did you see his tux?

[GulfCoast66]

112. But his base loves this shit! Taking their life to the powerful

How many of you have been to a big Southern Baptist Church in the South on Sunday morning?

I grew up in them. The sartorial taste would make a Savile Row Tailor slit a wrist. Women wearing dresses that look like drapes. Men with hugely ill fitting suits with cowboy boots. And when Tammie Faye Baker was wearing the caked on makeup we made fun of she was endearing herself to those women, and men and those churches. It’s pathetic the way they try to act like they are sophisticated.

30 years ago when I took my wife to the boonies to meet them, my wife, who is actually sophisticated and thin and who dresses and uses make-up in an appropriately understated way to meet them, they saw her as “plain”. If only they knew.

The fact that she had a way better job than them, or me at the time, did not help either.

But trust me. Trump looking like he showed up at the palace straight from the trailer park makes them giddy.

[HDSam]

114. Fucking idiot

Jesus fucking Christ he’s a fucking idiot.

[Mersky]

117. I'd bet money that he's wearing a girdle...

Or perhaps it's a spanx-type underpinning recommended by Chris Christie.

Cinched his, eh, vest down over his sucked-in belly/brain. Can see his waistband budging thru. He looked in the mirror, and saw perfection despite the drooping pants. And then, no one in his entourage dared say he looked like a buffoon.

(Tooo, Pence would have gone into fits if 'Mother' had a man's silhoulette cast upon her ivory, buzzsaw dress.)

[Ilsa]

119. Trump reminds me of a patient I tended to. She was schizophrenic and

Would put her house dress on backwards, apply lipstick to her face not just her lips, etc.

But she was really sweet and simply needed someone to help her. Trump may dress like this because he's demented, but I think it's because he doesn't care. He expects everyone else to follow his lead and start wearing poorly fitting clothes.

[Mersky]

121. This is sad, because I've known schizophrenic people who were not narcissistic assholes like trump

My great uncle developed schizophrenia shortly after a terrible fever. He's lived a rather balanced life since (esp. compared with those without any such diagnosis). Thinks that Trump is awful. I wouldn't lump individuals with schizophrenia in with malignant narcissism. I think tRump could be unable to see himself accurately, but that does not make him necessarily like the one schizophrenic that you know.

I think it is important to try to assimilate how he is like...that guy...that gal, but honestly the money/time it takes to fluff a man like trump is not worth it. He is exactly like the guy who bulldozed my in-laws tree farm....

I'm feeling you, just don't lump those in with 'him' unless they mean harm.

The bulldozer guy means harm. Backwards dresses, not so much. My Uncle? He's a good man.

[Ilsa]

135. I didn't mean to lump her in. Sorry you took it that way.

There were just behaviors reminding me of someone.

[Olafjoy]

120. Absurd

I posted before that I could not believe the idiocy
of this formalwear. This was a clown suit! Where do these people get their clothes? The Worst Bad Taste Store? They all looked as awful as they are.

[Bluepinky]

122. The problem isn't the suit, it's the man in the suit.

Trump is too short and fat to look good in anything. With his large gut, thick neck and stunted arms and legs, no suit will fit him properly.

[Mersky]

123. You said what I left out. Thank you.

I'm in Texas. I'll bet dollars to donuts you're exhausted?

[Bluepinky]

127. Yes, but now I've got to get up to go to work.

Tomorrow I can sleep in.

[pandr32]

136. Body Dysmorphic Disorder

He obsessives over his perceived flaws and compulsively covers them up in ways that only fool himself:

-He always has the shoulders too wide in his suits--he thinks it makes him look like a strongman with broad shoulders.
-His pants are too loose to hide his pudgy knock-kneed legs and his thighs that rub together.
-His pants and sleeves are too long because he insists he is taller than he actually is to whoever makes his clothes. Whoever that is likely must sign an NDA.
-He likes others to believe he still has a 36" waist so no wonder his cumberbund for his formal attire does not fit and he leaves his oversized business suit jackets open to cover his real waistline.
-He appears to wear high lifts in his shoes. He can be seen at different heights at different times, but when he is wearing a suit for a serious function he is taller, leans forward when standing, and walks awkwardly.
-He appears to have weaves in his hair to make it seem thicker and mane-like. There are times the seams cause a weird bulge/pleat where his part is and who can forget pictures of him from the back when the wind lifted his hair like a wing--exposing very thin fine stuff at the back of his head that looked almost bald.
-He has his skin spray-tanned to pretend the look of a healthy outdoorsy guy, but the goggles he wears to protect his eyes leave rings of purplish-white doughy skin he doesn't seem to notice when he looks in a mirror. He also wears a shower cap when getting sprayed because you can see a demarcation line.


His aides cover his desk with only flattering stories and pictures for him to pour through every day. He needs to believe he looks great and is respected. No wonder he gravitated to Fox news and claims everything else is fake.

[smb]

137. Separated At Birth?

[DesertRat]

139. Who wore it better?

[Hulk]

140. The old "lipstick on a pig" problem.

Yup...sloppy job, but face it, he would look like a sleezy pile of shit in a suit no matter how the covered his gluttonous ass.

[Nitram]

141. I was wondering how he ended up so poorly dressed. Still don't know, but at at least now we know

the WH tailor wasn't consulted. I kind of figured that.
