She looked lovely but I did think the dress bodice seemed a bit ill-fitting, surprising given the enormous cost.

Fabulous. Utterly perfect, elegant couture gown. And I loved that tiara. She looked amazing.

TheCraicDealer · 19/05/2018 23:03

I watched it with a group of friends and we were pretty underwhelmed. The top looked so promising when she was in the rolls en route, then she got out at the church and the bottom just got looked "meh". It cried out for more (or less!) volume or a watteau back detail or something. It certainly didn't look like a 200k dress. The embroidered veil was gorgeous and a wonderful sentiment but just didn't go with the modern simplicity of the actual gown. I say all of that as someone who had a very plain wedding dress- in fact her reception gown is very similar to what I had.

Do we know how much it cost?

Jozxyqk · 19/05/2018 23:23

I think boat neck tops might be quite popular this summer. Amazing dress, she looked beautiful.

Exquisite. Meghan looked completely beautiful. Loved the whole ceremony and her mum was wonderful.

Some of the comments re. the Givenchy are so funny and more than a little clueless!

This comes across like you meant it to make you sound like you know about fashion, it really really doesn't Smile

This comes across like you meant it to make you sound like you know about fashion, it really really doesn't

And this comes across as patronising and mean.

HRTpatch · 20/05/2018 06:05

I love a boat neck.

pigeondujour · 20/05/2018 08:14

@sofato5miles as does 'so funny and more than a little clueless' so guess we're evens Smile

InkMade · 20/05/2018 08:18

Her evening dress was gorgeous!

MrsMozart · 20/05/2018 08:20

Beautiful.

And she was happy, so all good.

OakIsBetterTho · 20/05/2018 08:22

Absolutely stunning, the whole outfit and styling as a whole was incredibly classy. She looked beautiful, and her make up was just perfect!

KnownUnknowns · 20/05/2018 08:25

I thought her dress was perfect, I loved the fit - it was so modern and elegant and set off that stunning veil and the Queen Mary Band was an inspired choice. And the evening choice was equally stunning.

twinkledag · 20/05/2018 08:38

Loved the evening dress ❤️

applecatchers36 · 20/05/2018 08:42

Boring, shapeless, drowned in fabric, too conservative. Much preferred Kate's.

IWannaSeeHowItEnds · 20/05/2018 08:57

I have serious tiara envy! I think she looked beautiful. I also liked Kate's dress too and think she also looked beautiful, but it's like comparing apples and oranges.
I know Diana's has dated and the designers didn't give any thought to how it would crumple in that carriage, but I was a kid and to me she looked like a fairytale princess and so I still think it was a gorgeous dress. There's not really anything wrong with a dress looking 'of its time' - weddings mark our personal history, so who cares if that says 1981.

Milomonster · 20/05/2018 08:58

Loved the simplicity of it but it was ill fitting and underwhelming.

mtpicasso · 20/05/2018 09:20

I thought the dress was lovely and appropriate for the occasion. Simple and elegant, and she looked radiant.

The evening dress was gorgeous and her hair and make up perfect. She looked stunning.

Twounder1 · 20/05/2018 09:28

The veil was gorgeous but I think she could've paid less for the dress. I thought it was poorly fitted too.
I didn't like Katie's that much but I preferred it.
However, Megan's art deco tiara was so so beautiful

Dandeliontea123 · 20/05/2018 09:32

She looked beautiful. The dress reminded me of Audrey Hepburn.

Diana at her wedding looked like a fairytale princess to me as well, and I think that with Meghan, the veil was the fairytale element of the bridal look.

Delatron · 20/05/2018 09:34

I loved her make-up. Just been looking at the close ups and her skin is flawless. She isn't caked in make-up and just looks beautiful. I'm sure she is wearing foundation but you can see all her freckles and she just glows.

specialsubject · 20/05/2018 09:38

mn vision again. kate was the one drowned in toilet doll shapeless lace!

Floisme · 20/05/2018 09:43

I'm not a fan of wedding dresses but I thought it was nice. I'm bored with skin tight.

I feel sorry for brides - the guests always get to wear the best outfits. Carey Mulligan made me wish I could still wear flowery prints.

TheHoundsofLove · 20/05/2018 11:14

I thought she looked absolutely stunning and loved the simple elegance. I thought it suited her and the occasion perfectly!
