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?

Aw op, I am so sorry that Meghan ruined your special day.........

TheFairyCaravan · 19/05/2018 17:46

Whatever you feel about your own ovaries is incidental and anecdotal to the factual evidence published in peer reviewed papers in scientific and medical journals.

I’m going on what my gynaecologist told me. Oh, and he wrote a few of those papers!

SinglePringle · 19/05/2018 17:47

I thought it to be one of the most elegant wedding gowns I’ve ever seen. So beautiful to see a woman wearing her dress as opposed to it wearing her. Meghan’s face is so beautiful and her frame so slim that an ornate gown would have swamped her.

The simplicity of it all (and that equisite tiara and veil) made it work.

Knocked spots off Kate.

cleofatra · 19/05/2018 17:49

Id like to have seen it close-up. Most wedding dresses look pretty ordinary until you can see the detail.

BlancheM · 19/05/2018 17:50

No. She looked flawless.

mydogisthebest · 19/05/2018 17:56

SinglePringle, totally agree. So many wedding dresses are so over the top and do the bride no favours. Ok each to their own but all the brides I have seen in elegant, fairly simple wedding dresses have looked amazing. The ones in the meringues not so much.

elephantscanring · 19/05/2018 17:57

Didn’t anyone else notice that flyaway hair? Then more hair escaped during the service and she had to keep tucking it behind her ear. He hairdresser did a shocking job.

LetsGoBitches · 19/05/2018 17:57

Well, my GP is also a specialist in women’s health, that’s why I chose her to be my GP. She also has extra education and training in the menopause. I pay privately so I chose my GP carefully.
As I said I’ll take her straight from the hip specialist medical and scientific advice over a few posters with ‘the feels’ and some personal stories on MN.

Anyhoos, can we get back to the matter in hand now?

I also liked the low volume, streamlined, densly sparkling tiara. It suited her hair, though I’m a little disappointed she never seems to wear her hair naturally curly like her mum. Maybe she’ll embrace her curly girl style soon..

BalloonSlayer · 19/05/2018 17:58

I thought it was lovely.

There was one moment when i thought "ooh blimey you can see her nipples" like the photo linked above, but most of the time you really couldn't, so I think it must have been a trick of the light or something. Kate's wedding dress, however, seemed all nipples; it's all I can see whenever I look at it - such a shame!

NinonDeLenclos · 19/05/2018 17:58

Meghan's was much more chic than Kate's although Kate's did suit her.

Diana's wedding dress was a disaster bless her.

WickedLazy · 19/05/2018 18:03

The spencer tiara was a triumph though (on Diana's wedding day). Who has it now?

TatianaLarina · 19/05/2018 18:04

General Practitioners are the least qualified level of doctors. Bitches For a specialist you need a consultant (gynaecologist in this case).

Scientific info on the menopause is readily available.

BalloonSlayer · 19/05/2018 18:05

I was 16 in 1981 and everyone thought Diana's dress was beautiful and amazing and it was was THE fashionable style for many years afterwards.

It was a shame that it didn't fit her very well, she lost so much weight she looked like a different person in the wedding pictures compared to the engagement. And I think the Emmanuels let her down a bit by not taking it in enough . . . however it was designed for the big-boobed buxom Diana who got engaged not the small boobed bulimic Diana who got married. Sad

StarbucksSmarterSister · 19/05/2018 18:07

the brides I have seen in elegant, fairly simple wedding dresses have looked amazing. The ones in the meringues not so much.

Meringues always look dated really quickly. Meghan's dress is a classic style and in 30 years time women will still be wearing something like it. I doubt if anyone wore a dress like Diana's more than a couple of years later. I've always thought Diana would have looked great in a plainer dress; sadly the dress wore her.

EmilyAlice · 19/05/2018 18:09

BalloonSlayer I was 30 when Diana got married and everyone I knew thought it was awful. It swamped her and was too frilly and too creased.

TheOnlyLivingBoyInNewCross · 19/05/2018 18:09

I thought the dress was gorgeous. I think people are now so conditioned by the Kardashian “show every millimetre of your figure” trend that they forget what proper couture clothes used to look like. A number of commentators made the link between Givenchy and Hepburn, and Meghan’s dress certainly had that old-school elegance which is all but lost now. Simple, clean lines, beautifully unfussy, and such a delicate veil.

mydogisthebest · 19/05/2018 18:11

I was 26 when Diana got married and thought her dress was awful as did most people I know.

All I could see was how creased it was and how huge

vinobell · 19/05/2018 18:23

tatiana that is an incredibly ignorant statement. GPs are just as qualified as other consultants/ specialities of doctors. We are generalists - so no, i won't always know as much as a gynaecologist - but i make up for it in other areas. And i am just as qualified thank you very much!!

Flomper · 19/05/2018 18:24

@letsgobitches do you really think you're the only person on here that has medical or scientific training? Saying "perimenopause starts at 36" rather than for some women perimenopause starts in their late thirties or the average age for the sharp drop off in fertility happening is around 36 makes it look like you don't remember yours very well.

Totally agree.

SabineUndine · 19/05/2018 18:24

I agree with Theonlyboy People are so used to seeing dresses that cling like a second skin they’ve forgotten what a well cut frock looks like. I though Meghan looked fab.

IrmaFayLear · 19/05/2018 18:25

I thought she looked perfect (possibly because her dress looked very similar to mine!). Thank goodness the tight dresses with spilling boobs have gone out of fashion. Not a good look.

I was 16 in 1981 and agree that Diana’s dress did look creased and rather on the big side. However, meringues were very much the thing then so you have to think about the dress in the context of the time. I remember thinking Sarah ferguson’s was quite nice.

Regarding the ovaries and eggs argy-bargy, we are all different. This is why it is vital not to assume. Yes, there are many women who are fertile well into their 40s (particularly celebrities, for some strange reason...). But equally there are many for whom the game is up in their 30s. You only have to sit in a fertility clinic and meet women who can’t believe that a young-looking face and body doesn’t equal young eggs.

NinonDeLenclos · 19/05/2018 18:26

In fact Audrey Hepburn's own wedding dress would be regarded as frumpy now.

Yorkshirebetty · 19/05/2018 18:29

I thought she looked absolutely stunning. So elegant and classy. Like previous comments, I agree that the dress wasn't too loose, it's just not bodycon, thank god. Kate's was lovely, but I didn't like the cups. Meghan's tiara and veil were perfect.

TatianaLarina · 19/05/2018 18:30

that is an incredibly ignorant statement

It’s a statement commonly made by consultants themselves, you must know that.
