I think it's awful πŸ˜‚ It has unfortunately placed bust darts.

MrsJakeLovell · 13/07/2019 14:36

is this similar enough?

Bust darts make it look awful! Nice colour though!

fedup21 · 13/07/2019 14:38

She nearly always looks lovely but that dress is terrible! Sorry, OP.

Satsuma1234 · 13/07/2019 14:41

I am not normally one to comment on posts like this but it looks really badly made. Like something from Primark. Not Β£2.5K worth.

MrsBertBibby · 13/07/2019 14:41

That's an exceptionally dull dress.

feesh · 13/07/2019 14:42

It’s incredibly unforgiving, too. She is getting away with it because she’s so slim and obviously has great underwear, but on a normal person......not good.

MeanMrMustardSeed · 13/07/2019 14:43

I never usually notice details on clothes but even I noticed the bust darts. Not great.

MeanMrMustardSeed · 13/07/2019 14:43

Agree she must have great (or no?) underwear on.

Baxdream · 13/07/2019 15:35

I like it but I think it'd suit someone curvier.
I think she's too skinny now

cheezy · 13/07/2019 15:41

I absolutely love it!!!

TremblingFanjo · 13/07/2019 15:43

A real green dress? That's cruel.

TrainWWYD · 13/07/2019 15:48

Are you all blind Shock

It’s beautiful

The darts look like they need pressing down a bit

It's bizarrely revealing while also being frumpy - it's awful! Nice colour but that's it.

FenellaMaxwell · 13/07/2019 16:02

God no. There’s a weird shoulder pads thing going on, and the terrible darts, and it looks oddly strained around the middle. It’s a hideous dress. Surprising when she so rarely gets it wrong.

championquartz · 13/07/2019 16:05

I don’t like it either. It was the first thing I noticed Wimbledon today.Blush

SparklyMagpie · 13/07/2019 16:06

Bloody hell, nearly poked my eyes out

championquartz · 13/07/2019 16:06

Missing the word at Wimbledon

Ihopeyourcakeisshit · 13/07/2019 16:06

No I don't like it.
I don't get that whole buttoned up thing she does, how anyone with a figure like that manages to look so frumpy I don't know.
Mind you it is better than that hideous dress she wore for Archie's christening.

SinglePringle · 13/07/2019 16:08

It’s very dull and looks like LK Bennett in a very blah way.

She is very good at making Alexander McQueen look like Phase 8.

LoafofSellotape · 13/07/2019 16:11

I agree! She looks so great in casual clothes but anything formal looks awful imo.

steppemum · 13/07/2019 16:15

horrible dress, I don't even liek the colour much.

neck too high for a summer dress, she looks victorian (and I hate loads of cleavage, just a softer neck is more flattering)
looks strained round her middle, which is ridiculous seeing how slim she is
style is frumpy
that little bow at the neck is awful
the bust darts are awful.

I am not criticising her, I hate royal bashing threads, I am criticising the dress as you want to look the same.
WHY?

Camilla behind looks elegant in her own way, and kate just doesn't. It looks like cheap high street and it is an offense to all struggling people out there that she spent thousands on it.

Morgan12 · 13/07/2019 16:17

@TremblingFanjo GrinGrinGrin

I quite like it but don't think your average person could pull it off at all.

Alsohuman · 13/07/2019 16:17

Sorry, it’s hideous.
