Let's keep criticism to the clothes rather than the women please...

I tried to post Leti's tiara three times last night from my phone but the bloody mobile app keeper losing it. I thought she looked fabulous and fairytale like and that's my new favourite tiara!

As for Kate, I like the Missoni but couldn't work out why I didn't love it until I saw a picture of it on the model vs Kate. I think she doesn't have enough of an hourglass to really make it work. Her waist needed to be nipped in (not because her waist isn't small enough, but because the dress would have suited that silhouette better).

But then... my crazy self kicked in and I started to think, "please tell me she's not pregnant again!?". I've been convinced she's done with kids. But the all-hiding coat, followed b y the slightly odd cricket jumper that was NOT super fitted then this dress... now I'm worried (I think them having more children is a terrible idea by the way, not least because he's supposed to be concerned about the environment).

motheroftinydragons · 28/02/2019 11:23

Nah I don't think she's pregnant. She's so slim any hint of a bump would show plus she gets HG horribly doesn't she, especially early on. If she was suffering with that I doubt she'd be up for pulling pints behind a bar and looking so glam!

motheroftinydragons · 28/02/2019 11:25

And yes I suspect she has a lot more time dedicated in her schedule for diet and fitness than us mere mortals could ever wish for! I struggle to find a couple of hours a week to exercise with two under three and I don't work out of the home!

user1457017537 · 28/02/2019 12:02

I don’t think she has a great figure I think she looks way too thin. DoC looked amazing before and after the wedding but in my opinion she looks really stressed.

Disfordarkchocolate · 28/02/2019 12:08

I think Catherine looks great but it's not a look I aspire too, it would take a degree of self-discipline I don't have. She always looks toned and fit and it really shows when she does anything sporty, it always looks natural and fun for her. When she competes against William it shows a how close they are.

QueenOfTheAndals · 28/02/2019 12:08

Kate in a rewear of a blue Jenny Packham today. Nothing out of the ordinary but perfectly suitable as a day dress and for their engagements today.

Avert your eyes and clutch those pearls! Leti in leather.....with a thigh split too!

That's a Kate dress i actually like! Perfect. JP always suits her.

Leti just looks fab

beanaseireann · 28/02/2019 12:36

The leather in Leti's outfit looks as soft as butter.

Thedarklady · 28/02/2019 12:37

The Packham is a great colour and length on her. Alrhough it's a bit plain. I preferred when she wore more LK Bennett, Hobbs, etc.
The Missoni was nice but too glam to pull pints and the like? Also the material looked really cheap. It wouldn't have looked better on someone with a bigger chest and more hourglass figure. Kate has a long, straight up and down boyish torso - although she has a nice sporty look.

PineapplePower · 28/02/2019 12:40

The jacket Kate’s wearing over the Packham is hideous though.

And wow! Leti in leather is amazing!

Horsemad · 28/02/2019 12:41

I wonder if the Missoni is as scratchy as it looked? 🤔

hopeishere · 28/02/2019 12:41

I hate the coat. But the dress is fine.

That Leti tiara was beautiful!

user1457017537 · 28/02/2019 12:42

I love the black leather dress on Leti and think it looks amazing. I’m not normally a fan of leather either, especially black leather.

user1457017537 · 28/02/2019 12:43

I thought the Missoni dress looked cheap. Cheap fabric and I hate lurex.

Janecon · 28/02/2019 12:51

Kate's dress is lovely but I don't like the coat. I don't think the colour suits her and I'm not keen on the cape effect.

frugalkitty · 28/02/2019 12:59

Oh this is awful....I love the colour but not the style. At all. Neck, collar, wings (?) awful. Awful. It's a thumbs down from me.

The blue coat is just horrendous. The cape part is far far far too short. It is the opposite of stylish. Why does she so often choose such bad styles.

BeautifulComicalThings · 28/02/2019 13:16

I actually like the coat although it does remind me of an old fashioned nurse’s uniform Grin I love the light blue of the coat with the darker blue shoes, makes it less ‘matchy’.

Is Kate trying to tell us she's a secret Call the Midwife fan?

Love the Jenny Packham Dress, coat is a bit Call the Midwife

ElspethFlashman · 28/02/2019 13:23

Even the Queen would look at that coat and say its a bit old fashioned.

She has a hel of a lot of blue coats, this was a bad purchase.

DontCallMeCharlotte · 28/02/2019 13:24

I know, I know, I know and I'm really sorry but in Queen's link to the JP dress, in th third picture down (where she's holding her hands up together), Kate's face actually looks a bit skeletal... She's still a million times better looking than I ever was or will be though Grin

Rapidly changing the subject: Leti in leather, the minx!

queenofarles · 28/02/2019 13:25

looooove the coat!

ElspethFlashman · 28/02/2019 13:27

BTW a lovely woman on Instagram has the most charming video of her meeting Kate yesterday. She has it in her Favourites, she goes by @all.thats.pretty.

Big news, Charlotte is called Lottie!
