Have we had a thread to guess Kate's dress yet?

[FellatioNelson]

I'm so excited. I don't give a stuff about the pomp and ceremony and I won't be waving any flags or doing 'knees up Mother Brown' with my neighbours but I really want to talk about the dress. I think I know in my head what it will be like and I hope she doesn't let me down. It needs to be just the right amount of elegant/trad/plain, but with a cheeky soupcon of sexpot.

Let's play guess Katie's dress please.

I LOVE talking about wedding dresses.

fellatio we had a chat on a thread some time back about the ubiquity of strapless dresses, and how they don't suit many people.

I have never been married, and if I got married wouldn't wear a white frock, but love a good wedding discussion.

I don't think these are royal in style at all but bloody hell what lovely dresses here

I think I might change my name and decide to get married if I can wear something like this.

this is nice

It'll be ivory slim fitting with sleeves. Vera Wangy.

Mark my words.

And the headline writers will say "A Dress for a very Modern Princess".

I think it will be slim fitting and lace with long sleeves. With a ridiculously long train.

And yes I too can not wait to see the dress.

Definitely long sleeves. British designer. Train. Long veil. Same tiara the queen wore for her wedding.

Yes MrsCB! My thoughts exactly! I am hoping for a very slim fitting skirt at the front with a big fuck-off something or other (not pouffey though) going on behind. Long slim-fitting sleeves, preferably in lace, and perhaps a slash neck.

Hang on GOML will look at linky and report back.

GetOrf - they are lahvely. That shoot must have been a fucking nightmare though - white satin + loads of red dust = breakdown for the poor stylist

Ditto - quite conservative, won't rise an eyebrow, British, my MIL will love it. Would say Ben de Lisi but perhaps he is not British enough :D And I don't think she will be doing Vivienne Westwood

Yes there will be no cleavage or shoulders on display at all - she'll just let the very form-fitting dress do justice to her incredibly slender figure.

God - can you imagine how nervouse she'll be!

What about the hair? She has such fabulous flicky hair it seems a shame to have anything too severe, but we are aiming for classy so I suppose severe it must be. I hope we get the odd cheeky tendril though.

GOML - why have those brides run away to deepest India?

deffo sleeves - not too much flesh but slim fitting to show off figure. Won't be as floaty / lots of layers as sophies though. I liked Sophies

Maybe really high necked as she has a smallish chest (i love polo necks myself but they give me mono boob)

You never know

Hmmm... when you think about it, her dress could have a real influence on wedding dress fashions for years to come as she will definitely be adhering to what most would now think of as a very old-fashioned traditional notion of what's appropriate - won't show shoulders or cleavage or anything to frighten the horses - could the strapless dress's reign of terror be nearly over?

I know that sounds blindingly obvious, but most young girls have quite possibly never seen a bride without vast acres of cantilevered cleavage and a fake tan. Revolutionary!

Agreed very. Katie could be the very thing we need to finally crush the shoulderless movement. I'd put money on it.

I agree Pirt she'd do buttoned-up high-necked Edwardian very well indeed. I myself love a crum-catcher neckline/bodice but she's a bit titless to pull that off.

Port sorry. though I am sure you have you Pirt moments.

(yes I know it's pert. I was using artistic licence.)

Yes she might go very Mary of Teck....that would suit.

I really hope it has an enormously long train, I actually wanted to marry prince william when I was little, I thought it was a dead cert as we're the same age (clearly a logical reason to marry a prince to 5year old me!) And I really wanted to have a super long train when I married him, obvs too young to remember charles and Di's wedding but I remember being really excited for fergie's and pouring over pics of her dress thinking how amazing it would be to have a frock like that!!! So - if Kate doesn't let me down and has a huge train I might just forgive her for stealing Wills from me!!!!

There will definitely be trainage. It's a given.

Brides magazine view on the matter.

No's 2 and 3 not a hope - the rest all have elements of possibility.

I think it will be very simple - not lacy or anything, but very fitted heavy cream satin, long sleeved and relatively high necked. Her great assets are her height and her very slim hips so think it will be fitted all the way down, not voluminous, but with a long train at the back, relatively high necked. With a full veil.

I hope she wears her hair down, I hate it when brides wear their hair up when they normally wear it loose, it makes them look very unlike themselves.

I hope she wears a huge great tiara.

I'm hoping she doesn't go for too heavy a duchesse satin though - it can hang a bit too stiffly and can look a bit dowdy. I want some fluidity.

Am secretly hankering after a bit of lace.

That first dress on your link id gorgous GOML but you are right - not especailly regal.
