I'm laughing at the 'not so many pics of Mother Middleton and Catherine.' What you mean is we are not party to them! The family album may be full of them.
I thought the dress was okay. I'm not a huge fan of so much heavy lace, or high necklines. It was very elegant and she's got a good figure but I think the lace dominated it too much.
I did not like Catherine's outfit at all. It was ageing and frumpy, imo.
In fact it's the worst thing I've ever seen her in.
Carole looked good though I wondered if there was a dress under that coat-dress, or if she would change for the reception? It was too heavy to wear all day.
I'm a bit tired of the negative comments about James ' looks. he's not handsome at all, but he may be a very nice person. Pippa is no beauty but she's made the best of herself with the help of money for any tweaks / best products/ help, anyone can buy.
