Meghan's dress was lovely but lumpy looking,/ill fitting bra look

[Bahhhhhumbug]

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?

And I challenge you to find a post where I commented either positively or negatively on Meghan's dress.

No i'm not picking holes in your posts, i was replying to your response to one of my posts. You said that people who criticise things about the royal wedding are generally unhappy. I was disputing this.

Incidentally I too have not criticised THE DRESS, but i defend people's right to do so, the reasons being in my post above.

I work in a couture house and oversee the whole process and am head fitter. When we have a rich or high profile client order a wedding dress, it is common to loose weight just before the day and so we do a final fitting a week or 2 before the wedding. In my opinion the bodice on that dress needed to be taken in a little and it would have given a cleaner and more flattering silhouette. The fashion house would definitely have been able to alter the dress if she had lost weight, so that's not the reason. Maybe Meghan preferred a looser more comfortable fit and to have more arm movement. Slightly too loose is better than slightly too tight in this fabric.
FWIW I thought Kate's wedding dress was a little too tight and it had been taken in too much on the bust darts. The bust darts had been sewn too high and deep and created a pointy look.
There's nothing bitchy about my comments, just saying facts.

I am very happy for everyone to have an opinion and to express it. It's very interesting.

I was so convinced I'd look shit in a wedding dress that I wore an ivory trouser suit.

Peachy that's really interesting.

How wondeful working at fashion House! I'm thinking of the film woodcock

Sorry phantom thread

FWIW I thought Kate's wedding dress was a little too tight and it had been taken in too much on the bust darts.

I agree. When I compared the two dresses the other day, Kate's looked weird at the bust.

I remember Sophie's dress, all those years ago, being considered two loose as well. I was told mine was also too loose, but I was very comfortable in it (not so much now ).

Ohsuchaperfectday I have just Googled Phantom Thread film and it looks great, I'm definitely going to watch it, thanks!

Good points Peachy - I'm no expert but thought the same about Kate's dress. The bodice was skin tight and the cups looked odd and not at all flattering. Cups rarely look good in a dress! The rest of the dress was divine, gorgeous skirt and the lace was lovely. To me, Meghan's is an elegant and a chic choice.

I agree Peachy. I thought Kate's dress gave her conical breasts. Preferred Meghans.

I totally agree with you Peachy. I thought Kate's dress looked far too tight over the bust and made her look like Madonna in that famous bra.

Peachy you are so right. Kate's pointy Madonna boobs were pretty much all I noticed about her dress. Meghan looked much more natural and dare I say beautiful as the focus was on her face not her bust.

Ooh Peachy I want your job! You should post more stuff, that was really interesting.

Haha! I just can't stop going on and on about it! Even if she lost some weight ... surely if I was Givenchy I'd have sent my man to be there and fit the dress to be good for a princess and those millions of eyes watching.

seems to be a Yanny/Laurel situation. Meghan looked fine to me, Kate looked like her bra was showing thanks to huge lumps of really badly placed lace, on what was overall a serious toilet roll doll dress.

but no-one else on MN could see it.

let's face it, very difficult for an adult woman to look good in dead white, however pretty she is.

I thought she might have gone for Ivory myself, but maybe there would have been criticism as Diana's dress was ivory.

I thought Catherine was trying to channel a bit of Grace Kelly's wedding dress (sleeves, shoulders, bodice) but I don't know really about these things.

Yes, I read that Kate loved Princess Grace's dress and had a similar design.

It must be lovely to be a man and not face the intense scrutiny, observations and criticisms (and compliments) women are supposed to put up with. Personally I hate anybody commenting on my dress or appearance in any way. I'm sure I am not unique in that, and I wish women were not judged on their appearance in that manner. And it's getting worse not better.
