What did we all think of Kates dress?

OMG! I've always thought you were a he! No idea why. Sorry!

I did at one point think there was something wrong with the little one actually. Her eyes have got big black circles under them and at one point I saw a shot of her and it looked like she had a fallen face similar to someone who has a palsy.

Probably from being inbred I expect

Meanwhile, back on the topic (vaguely), I thought Mum Middleton looked superb. Elegant, classy and understated. Ought to give lessons to Bea and Eug.

For the last few weeks I've heard nothing but people talking about what she should be wearing compared to what she does. It never ceases to surprise me how many people are desperate to change Kate's natural style. Kate like classic styles, and simple hair and make-up. Too many people are trying to turn her into a clothes horse like Diana.

I hope they never do.

And at the risk of upsetting a few people what exactly does she do?;)

I thought Kate looked stunning. I loved the dress, sleek, elegant and simple that served to emphasize her natural beauty.

I loved Kate's dress esp. the tiara and veil, classic and timeless. In years to come when people look back at the photo's, you won't be able to 'guess the era' by the dress.

The more I see these two the more I think that someone needs to take them in hand. They've had no-one but Fergie to learn from and that is a mistake...

I didn't think the dress looked ageing or too old for her. The bride is 29 not barely a month past her teens like Diana was. I did expect something 'more' to it though, though I'm not sure what, a longer train perhaps. To me it just looked like a dress that I'd spot on a bride in my local church on a summer Saturday. I didn't hate it but I'm not overly enthralled with it either. I guess the long sleeves were in case April's weather was a lot colder but the lace just in case it wasn't.
Her sister's bridesmaid dress was lovely, though I'm not a fan of adult bridesmaids in white/cream as I think they look too much like a wedding gown.

I said: "The dress you choose should reflect you because you have to wear for the day and look back at pictures of yourself for years to come."

I never said what Kate should wear. I also said I hope they never change her.

Not the same thing.

The bride's mother looked very elegant.

But did you see her face when they were singing the National Anthem in the Abbey? I wondered how long she was prepared to wait for her DD to become queen ... :rotfl:

Could anyone decipher what Harry said to William after he took a look at Kate walking down the aisle?

I was only saying to DH that I wished my lipreading was better than it is!

I think it was perfect. Loved the dress. I think it suprised a lot of people though because it was pretty simple, but again, it shows a lot of respect for the fact that a lot of real people are struggling financially.
