    I thought Kate's dress was ok but nothing special. If it had the wow factor I think there would have been lots of brides in the next couple of years wanting look-a-like dresses but I can't imagine anyone wanting a long sleeved lacy number that shows your nips!

    On the other hand I thought Pippas bridesmaid dress was lovely. Eugenie and Beatrice did look awful with their headgear, I don't know which one is was but one of them looked like she had reindeer horns coming out her head!

    Talking of OTT - did anyone see Big Fat Gypsy Wedding last night - at least none of the Royal guests looked like some of the guests there:eek::eek:

    Yes, you know what I was thinking, where on earth do the guests get their clothes? I've never seen stuff like that in the shops:eek:

    they go to special shops - I saw a couple of girls shopping in the series, and was like wow that shop must really only sell to traveller girls and drag queens!

    I thought she looked stunning and radiant and seemed to cope with the whole thing really well. She is a "commoner!" after all and wasn't brought up in that world.

    I don't know many commoners that can afford to send their children to £28k per annul schools!! She was bred to marry into the royal family. Don't be fooled about that!!!

    She looked lovely but the dress wasn't my cup of tea - thought her sisters dress was absolutely stunning.

    Kate's and Pippa's dresses were absolutely stunning. So pretty, worked with their bodies sooo well!

    It'll be my inspiration if I EVER get married lol

    I was watching the ITV coverage. Phillip Schofield (I think) mentioned about her being a called a commoner & said he hated the term. Then a woman (with a very plummy voice) said something along the lines of, hasn't she done well for herself by their (meaning commoners) standards:eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek:
    The snobbery was dripping from her.

    Her dress was fine but her stage make up was hideous.

    I haven't seen any of the coverage and only one picture so far - on the cover of the Evening Standard souvenir issue and she looked a good 10 years older than usual :(

    But she looked happy so that's all that counts :D
  • I loved the dress, thought it was perfect for her. Classy and fitted like a glove.

    Living and loving it :)

    The dress suited Kate, but much preferred Pippa's dress.

    Agree that Beatrice and Eugiene and looked terrible.
