This one. I am not a major royalist but saw Kate middleton wearing it and thought it looked really good, I don't want everyone thinking I'm copying her but I love the dress!!!

I would ask DH but he's not about this week so thought I'd take my chances on mumsnet!

YANBU, it's lovely.

I was half expecting cgi.ebay.co.uk/Custom-Hot-Similar-Princess-Kate-Royal-Wedding-Dress-/150598913528?pt=UK_Wedding_Clothing&hash=item2310650df8 this to be what you were asking about!

Don't know what happened to my link thee!

PicaK · 05/05/2011 19:25

I thought the skirt rode up a bit at the back....

If you are size ten or under, go for it, otherwise i'd worry that comparisons might not be that flattering!

If youve got the figure for it then yes, its a nice summer dress.

SocialButterfly · 05/05/2011 19:27

Its lovely but no way would I pay £130 for it, it was only £60 in Zara, they have massively bumped up the price because Kate wore it.

thelittlefriend · 05/05/2011 19:28

it is a lovely dress. My first thought was that there might be others attending the wedding with the same idea though?

MrsPresley · 05/05/2011 19:29

Nice dress but I noticed in one of the newspaper photographs that it was shorter at the back than at the front.

Not sure if this is a fault or because she was wearing a belt and hadnt pulled the dress down properly at the back

I hope you didn't pay £130 for it. Opportunist bastard. (The seller, obv, not you.) Grin

It's a nice colour and 'ok' but that's all I can say about it. Kate has a fantastic figure and yet it doesn't really flatter it that much.

pollypopsocks · 05/05/2011 19:34

Yes I thought a few people might have the same idea and wear it too.... I guess I could always hang on to it and sell it for a million pounds in 30 years time!!!

It's lovely but IIRC was only £50 from Zara? Although I doubt you could pick one up now!

Not worth £130 IMO, if you're going to spend that much, go to Karen Millen and get something amazing.

Depends on whether you have more money than sense, and won't mind if you're sniggered at outed for copying Mrs Wales.

I'd rather not wear something worn by a sleb because of the inevitable comparisons especially those made behind my back which may not be flattering.

There are so many wonderful summer dresses available at the moment, and I suggest you choose a garment that owes nothing to anyone else.

I think that the material looks cheap & the belt is horrible tbh.

it's ££££ for what it is
