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

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?

If it had been “spectacular” she would have been criticised for it being too showy for her second wedding. I think simple and elegant was perfect.

categed · 19/05/2018 17:03

We all like different styles so noone will agree ob everything.
I thought the veil was lovely,the dress was, well nothing to me it looked plain and badly fitted. However, like any bride she looked beautiful and its only her and Harry who's opinions matter and judging by their faces they are very happy.
Here is to a long and happy marriage to them both, after all that's what today was about. Everything else is secondary.

I agree the dress looked ill fitting almost baggy. Far to plain for my liking but the tiara was amazing.
I did notice a smirk from them both when the vicar mentioned kids so I'm assuming she was pregnant and was trying to hide her bump. Just my theory though.

TerfsUp · 19/05/2018 17:04

Good points, nocoolnamesleft.

LemonysSnicket · 19/05/2018 17:05

I agree. Didn’t look tailored to the arms/waist/chest. The material was too thick and lumped.

LemonysSnicket · 19/05/2018 17:06

She’s also more slender than Kate was but it adds several inches!!

ikeepaforkinmypurse · 19/05/2018 17:08

Hopefully this means classic and beautifully cut wedding dress will be back in fashion, and we won't see so many lacy Wag-y glittery tackish TOWIE style dresses any more.

I really didn't like Kate's dress at all, but I thought Pippa's dress was lovely. Meghan's was much more of show-stopper, more appropriate for the royal wedding. She chose so well!

LemonysSnicket · 19/05/2018 17:08

Was about 5 inches from her waist!!

flapjackfairy · 19/05/2018 17:14

Am i the only one who thought it a bit reminiscent of sophie rhys jones dress that was also a bit medieval in style. That was also ruined for me by being ill fitted.
I thought meghan looked beautiful but i was a tad underwhelmed by the dress. But the veil was stunning and it was a lovely service and a brilliant spectacle .

It was classic European bridal couture as opposed to Hollywood glitz.

Heavy, quality fabric, demure and not skin tight.

ThenCameTheFools · 19/05/2018 17:25

You liked the manicure even on the "bulimic's knuckles"?

Changed your tune.

StarbucksSmarterSister · 19/05/2018 17:26

It's one of the best royal wedding dresses I've ever seen, just plain and very elegant. I think some people need to go to Specsavers.

Mind you I loathe meringue.

traciebanbanjo · 19/05/2018 17:28

Looks like she just bought one and there wasn't time to get it fitted

Flomper · 19/05/2018 17:30

What absolute nonsense about 36 being the start of the perimenopause. I had 2 more children after 36. I know 100s of women that have had children in their late 30s, probably 1000s actually and many in their 40s, including 3 over 45 and 1 at 48. The eggs might start declining on average around then but there are no hard and fast rules. Especially when you are rich and have access to the top fertility specialists.

LetsGoBitches · 19/05/2018 17:32

Ha! They’re two different things @thencamethefools.
The advantage of having a scientific education is that I can hold two or many seemingly different and contradictory thoughts in my head at once.
No need to change any tune at all.

Looking at her knuckles, they remind me of bulimic’s knuckles I have observed before.
Looking at her nails, it was a nice manicure.
Do you see how it works?

TatianaLarina · 19/05/2018 17:34

You seem to be confusing egg decline with perimenopause Bitches

Science would tell you women generally start the menopause from 44-55. (Altho can occur earlier or later too). Perimenopause generally starts 4-8 years before.

I’m 47 and only just started to get slight perimenopausal symptoms.

GPs are not specialists - the clue is in the name.

SoupDragon · 19/05/2018 17:34

FWIW she’s 36, that’s old for starting a family. According to my GP we start our perimenopause then

I wonder why all the articles suggest that 44 is average age then. How odd.

FreeMantle · 19/05/2018 17:41

I can't see it.

Why are so many people complaining about the comments then being really rode about the posters themselves. You can have an opinon on Meghan, the dress and the service. You don't only get to post if it's nice comments ( we aren't Americans yet)..

Amanduh · 19/05/2018 17:42

Hated the dress and it didnt fit. She looked so happy and Harry was in awe though so it was lovelya

WickedLazy · 19/05/2018 17:43

Does the Queen decide who wears which tiara when she lends them out for special occassions? If so, she always gets it spot on. She has excellent taste in jewellery and accessories. I loved the purple flowers on her hat to match her dress.

LetsGoBitches · 19/05/2018 17:44

@Flomper, a few women’s anecdotal experience does not constitute a scientific population.

Your anecdotal story isn’t science, just what happened to you. You cannot prove or disprove a theory on your own personal story... it has nothing to do with personal stories in isolation.

Scientific evidence points to changes in menstrual cycles changes, and hormone levels decline, and aging of eggs after age 36. That’s the perimenopause.

I’m delighted you had healthy full term pregnancies after the age of 36 with healthy outcomes. The rate of birth defects rises sharply in late thirties, so I guess you were one of the lucky ones.

Science is factual, whether you had that exact experience or not is immaterial and doesn’t indicate anything.

Large populations are assessed in trials in order for the results to be statistically significant - the last paper I read on gynecology had a population of 19,500 women, which may or may not have included the 100 you claim to personally know.

Anyhoos, enough about scientific facts, and back to our opinions about the ill fitting dress!

cleofatra · 19/05/2018 17:44

So we are not allowed to slag off the preacher who made it all about himself and went on for far too long....um, ok then. Why is he above criticism?

I agree. Just my opinion but I thought it was embarrassing, tacky, undignified, somewhat unstructured and self-indulgent. I understand I am in the minority.

WinnersClub · 19/05/2018 17:45

She looked exquisite in her dress, but please keep looking for bones in bananas.

NinonDeLenclos · 19/05/2018 17:45

It fitted beautifully actually, it just wasn't skin tight.
