All about the dress again, oh no!

Seeing as it was a Spencer family wedding, I wonder why William and Kate weren't there?

Maybe there was a "sorry no children" policy and they couldn't get a babysitter.

I like the dress. The fabric looks lovely and floaty although (just glancing at the photo link) I think maybe it could have done with being a size smaller. Very pretty and feminine.

I agree with everyone on here who didn’t like the dress. In my opinion it was awful, far too big, the sleeves were too long, the hat didn’t compliment the dress, the whole outfit was dreadful. Such a shame as she normally looks fabulous. Whoever has advised her with this outfit should be told.

I am fond of a long floaty dress but I think the groom’s suit could have been a better fit. It looked a bit tight to me.

I don't think the fashion industry would be very impressed if the public didn't comment on dresses worn by high profile young women. If cover all, floaty dresses becomes the trend that follows shorter, more sculpted garments then there will be plenty to discuss - and why not if you enjoy looking at fashion?

DD will be at Ascot on Ladies Day. Her outfit is lovely and I will be glued to the telly on Thursday hoping to catch a glimpse and compare her 'get up' to all the others.

PECS, you called posters on this thread - a bunch of old women, not older women.

That dress with the willow pattern on was absolutely horrible on her. It did her no favours at all.

On her wedding day Meghan looked absolutely breathtaking in both dresses she chose.

And it is not bitchy to say so. Are we not allowed opinions ?

Gosh did I? I thought I talked about older / younger but you annie mentioned the number 36! Really not an important enough subject to get picky about! Life and death ..but a dress no!

I don't really care what she wears. It’s of no importance. The dress looked OK, and I think it’s probably beautiful floaty silk, which doesn’t really show in photos.

PECS, you brought age into the discussion,

Sorry, I just realised this thread refers to some wedding other than her own.

I liked the severity of Meghan's wedding dress. It was appropriate to a religious service. It was unsentimental as befits a modern woman . The neckline is medieval circling the head and shoulders and is concealingly modest while acknowledging an unusual historical precedent.

I was thinking of bitchy! annie What has age got to do with it? Older women being hypercritical of other younger women's dress choice, even a public target like Dof S , when it is about style I find unkind. Not that D of S will give a toss! for our opinions!

I loved all my Laura Ashley dresses and in fact love to wear dresses so now its White Stuff, Boden and Hobbs for best for me.

Thought Megan looked fabulous. Bit of a risky choice, but thought she pulled it off well.

I am not a B, my parents were married a year before I was born ?

i didn’t wear hot pants when I was 36.

Was that the b word PECS - then why? Why?

PECS not so much of the old? threads about clothes out and about are often on here, Megan, I think always looks amazing, and often applauded on this site, just not this time, and have to say, not been called a bitch for many a year?

We are being critical because it is a horrible dress. And what do you mean by the b word?

Why are a bunch of old women being so critical of a beautiful young woman's choice of dress. Hate to say the B word..but you do sound it! You also all sound like my gran when I went out in my hot pants!

Horrible is the only way i would describe the dress. Bon Marche had a summer top in stock in a similar material and exactly the same same colour. I thought when i saw it in the store it looked a bit old fashioned and this dress looks like someones curtains made into an outfit.I didnt like the dress she wore for the Queen's offical birthday either, off the shoulder number i felt was inappropriate for the occasion.

And I'm not apologising to anyone on this thread who knows her/is a friend/ is related to her.
That's OK, I realise I shouldn't have invited them to stay last weekend

Oh! I've just had a look at The Dress and I have a bedspread in a very similar pattern on the spare bed - in fact, I'd better check when I go upstairs that it's still there

and that looks like the tie that DH had for DD's wedding.
