Anyone else notice how lumpy it looked at front like when you wear a bra that's two small and you have two cleavages lt spoiled it for me tbh though l think she looked stunning. I thought it might just be the light as it is quite shimmery but have noticed it in several shots /light now. A wardrobe malfunction?

£525 😂😂

She probably didn't pay full price for it given the exposure the designer was getting, but £525 is a discount too far!

There's a difference between "increased risk" and "dangerous".

As the expectant mother, you have an increased risk of complications in pregnancy for a number of factors, and age at either end of the spectrum (young teen or older mother) is one of them.

Your baby is at increased risk for various factors too, depending on maternal age (Downs does increase over 35, for example).

Doesn't mean it's "dangerous" to be pregnant over 30 or under 20!

Meghans dress was so much better than Lady Charlotte Wellesley‘s!

Yorkshirebetty · 20/05/2018 10:33

I hope that the fashion for skin tight and strapless is now over.

Arriettyborrower · 20/05/2018 10:53

Her dress was utterly timeless, in 20/40/60 years it will still look classic and understated whereas I think Kate’s will date - her evening dress was again classic, elegant and timeless whereas Kate’s evening dress with fluffy shrug has definitely dated.

It did look like she had lost a little weight - hardly surprising, and I did wish that her veil had been fully laid out behind her at the altar so we could see all the detail but they are clearly so in love and so happy minor details packed into insignificance.

StarbucksSmarterSister · 20/05/2018 11:13

I don't like Charlotte Wellesley's either (had to Google it just). I don't like the top and there was way too much material in the skirt.

SilverPheasants · 20/05/2018 11:14

The dress was pure class and unfortunately not something that a certain contingent of MNetters would recognise. Even if it were to jump out of their 50" TV screens that hang above their faux fireplaces.

I blame PenisBeaker

And having kids past 30 is dangerous

Good gawd. You and your doctor need to get a grip or three.

AsdaPooShaker · 20/05/2018 11:29

I think she looked breathtakingly beautiful but in some pictures it’s clear that she’s wearing those nipple cover things.

IME all they do is make your nipples look huge.

mydogisthebest · 20/05/2018 11:37

I agree that her dress is timeless. I did quite like Kate's but thought the bust area was very strange.

I know each to their own but a lot of women don't seem to realise that often an elegant, fairly simple but well fitting wedding dress looks a million times better than a fussy over the top one.

Of all the weddings I have been to I think only 2 maybe 3 of the wedding dresses stood out for me - all very simple yet elegant and definitely not strapless. You have to be tall and slim to carry off strapless and preferably not too big a bust and probably fairly young. I saw some wedding photos of someone in their late 50's and she had a very fussy strapless dress on. I don't know if anyone helped her choose her dress but it really did her no favours whatsoever

bsbabas · 20/05/2018 11:40

Her hair looked a little straggly at the front and the train was creased up and I think the bra was abit small

SomethingOnce · 20/05/2018 11:50

And yet she still looked astonishingly beautiful.

Give it a rest.

mydogisthebest · 20/05/2018 11:51

I think she wanted her hair to look as natural as possible, which it did. She seemed to have very little make up on too so obviously likes the natural look. I am sure if I were half as beautiful as her I would too

scaryteacher · 20/05/2018 11:52

I think keeping the dress looking simple (even though it wasn't) was genius. From some angles it looked medieval, which given the setting was appropriate. Less was more in this case, given all the garter crests and detail in St Georges. She drew the eye.

She also probably had more leeway than the DoC, given it was her second marriage, and it wasn't a state occasion.

Miaow!

I liked the dress a lot - I liked the understated, simple style and the lack of a giant meringue or excess fussy lace overlays. It was very much my idea of a Givenchy/Hepburn style.

C8H10N4O2 · 20/05/2018 11:57

I also had to Google the Wellesley dress - maybe its just the pictures coming up but she seems to be enveloped in a shroud of shapeless fabric.

maxthemartian · 20/05/2018 12:25

@scaryteacher I thought that as well. It worked really well with the setting.

scaryteacher · 20/05/2018 12:55

Max As a pp has said, there were shades of Princess Mary of Denmark's dress there ( which I loved).

Morsecode · 20/05/2018 12:59

Lol at the comments that she lost weight between the fitting and the wedding, her bra was too small, etc. People need to come out of their boxes. There would have been a full Givenchy team to help her into that dress in the morning. This is how the bodice is meant to look like, people seem uncomfortable that they can't see her breasts outlined in full view.

Bluelady · 20/05/2018 13:04

Just checked out the Wellesley dress which seemed to be wearing the bride. Full blown meringue doesn't do it for me.

DownstairsMixUp · 20/05/2018 13:11

Dying at the poster saying the dress was 525 GrinGrinGrin

TatianaLarina · 20/05/2018 13:12

It was in the DM it must be true!

scaryteacher · 20/05/2018 13:19

She was also having to deal with a groom in full dress uniform; you have to find something that neither competes with or fades into insignificance besides the sartorial splendour of dress uniform. That is tricky in itself, especially if it's an Army uniform or RM dress blues, which was his other option.

JustDanceAddict · 20/05/2018 13:23

It looked a bit weird on the front of the bust - thought it might be a seam catching the light.

JustDanceAddict · 20/05/2018 13:25

Nipple covers as a poster said - OMG is that what it was as I was really wondering why her nipple area stood out.
