All about the dress again, oh no!

Nice fabric but I thought the dress just looked a couple of sizes too large for her and because of that more like a dressing gown.

I was wondering what it reminded me of and shower curtain is about right.

I also love her style so I'm surprised she wore something so unflattering. It swamps her.

Certaintly not a flattering outfit.

Blimey - perhaps designed to not upstage the bride? (Being charitable)

Perhaps she was trying to make up for the too much flesh style on the balcony

I suppose she's trying to fit in with the RF and searching for her new look. This isn't it! I remember Diana wore some awful outfits at times in the early days too.

I quite like the dress its very fashionable but it does look a bit too big on the top. I think the new Duchess has a way to go before she finds a style that suits her and the role she now occupies. I think it very unkind of the DM to put her very small slip (?new shoes on grass) on a loop so it looks like she is dancing- not funny.

I think it is very pretty, not everything has to be close fitting.

It looks as though it was bought for someone at least one size larger.

Too much print with too much dress

I love that dress!!

But the shoes - yuk!

How would those commenting if everything they wore were criticised by everybody around them.

Give the poor woman a chance. If she turns up for official engagements inappropriately dressed, that is one thing, but what she wears to a private engagement is nobody elses, business but hers.

Criticised by everybody around them?

Just commenting on the dress.

I don't think it will see the light of day again.

Maybe the real dress is underneath?

merlotgran of course that is the answer ???

Looked like a dressing gown/nightie to me. Of course we can criticise it - it's absolutely awful. And I'm not apologising to anyone on this thread who knows her/is a friend/ is related to her.

It's next year's High Street fashion trend, I've read! There are lots of flowery, voluminous dresses in the shops now and the trend is towards 'men-repelling' outfits, apparently. Who knew frocks were so political?

It's not so different from the Laura Ashley dresses that were so popular in the 70's & early 80's, really, although it does look too big on her.

But much less likely to get upskirted?

Having now seen this frock ( floral horror) I think there are several dresses under it Merlot
On the plus side ( and it certainly is) you could stash a good number of vol au vents in it without other guests being any the wiser.

Oh dear apologies - I know it’s not a joking matter but som3 men have been advising we should dress in such a way as to stop men being tempted

Has it got pockets?

Well, I like it

What's next for us then? Burkas?
