I think part of the problem with this dress is the colour. It's a rather cheap shade of green, just slightly off. It looks more autumnal than height of summer. Pippa's dress was perfect.

LenoVentura · 13/07/2019 18:07

I think the word I'm looking for is drab.

@Abra1de Lizzie is the Queen.

Is Kate wearing a bra?

BusterGonad · 13/07/2019 18:16

@steppemum I understand your point but the preppy granny chic thing is fashionable. I think she looks a million times more fashion forward than she has in ages. She takes far more risks now and I admire her for that. Id much rather see her in dresses that are a bit edgy and questionable than boring pretty dresses that would suit everyone.

EdWinchester · 13/07/2019 18:25

She has the ability to make any outfit staid and sensible.

I much prefer the way Meghan dresses - she is much more stylish.

OneShotFinch · 13/07/2019 18:26

I hate this dress! It looks like something one of Santa's helpers would wear! Grin

Sagradafamiliar · 13/07/2019 18:41

I think she looks incredible. I assumed the darts were just her nips, don't see how they are 'unfortunately placed'.

AbbiMarigoldWalton · 13/07/2019 18:59

I can help but feel santa is short an elf...

Elfish green. Envy Definitely more suited to the darker seasons

Housewife2010 · 13/07/2019 19:41

Would that be an outie tummy button showing? She's been photographed in a bikini before and I can't remember her having an outie then ( oh the cerebral things that clutter up my mind!)

SparklyMagpie · 13/07/2019 19:48

@Housewife2010 I also noticed that and thought outie lol, I'm glad I'm not the only one now πŸ˜‚

They weren't nipples. That's why they were "unfortunately placed".

SoupDragon · 13/07/2019 19:50

TBH the only thing that matters is that she likes the dress and is happy in it though.

whatwouldbigfatfannydo · 13/07/2019 20:07

She looks like she has two nipple piercings Grin

The amount of 'staff' they have following them around, you'd think someone would pull her aside and have a word Confused

Clearly having (taxpayer's) money can't give you it all. Shame Hmm

LizzieSiddal · 13/07/2019 20:20

I agree with others, unfortunately Kate seems to choose items which don’t suit her body shape.
My own Dd has the same body shape as KM and looks amazing in so many things, but she’d look awful in that green dress!

fancynancyclancy · 13/07/2019 21:17

I saw this dress & thought eek! It’s really not flattering, it emphasises how narrow her torso & hips are & her long body. It would have looked better if it flared higher up. I also think it looks odd because it’s appears tight but completely unsexy at the same time.
I don’t really like criticising other women but KM has an uncanny knack for looking frumpy which is weird for a slim, well groomed, attractive woman. I’d love to see her with a more relaxed hairstyle & in a pair of relaxed jeans not those bloody skin tight ones.

AgnesNutterWitch · 13/07/2019 21:32

@housewife2010 I don't think it's an outie, it's probably just the front seam of her tights.

(And I've just realised it's a Saturday night and I'm sat at home speculating about Kate Middleton's belly button on mumsnet what even is my life?)

Housewife2010 · 13/07/2019 21:38

AgnesNutterWitch I'll have to check now if she's wearing tights. (We both know how to party on a Saturday night!)

She is really thin, obviously not that thin naturally given her uni pics. People usually get heavier with age.

The fact she was a little heavier at uni doesn't mean she's not 'thin naturally' Hmm I've always been slim, but was at my heaviest during my time at uni mainly because I'd discovered booze. The fact she's always been slim since then, gains little weight in pregnancy and is back to her pre-pregnancy figure very quickly suggests that that is, indeed, her 'natural' size.

megletthesecond · 13/07/2019 21:57

I don't have hips either. I do have thighs though. Nightmare to dress.
She dresses well for her shape.

Or that she is extremely disciplined with what she eats which is far more likely as she's been getting smaller and smaller every year.

fancynancyclancy · 13/07/2019 22:13

She looked great in this dress shape

Anois · 13/07/2019 22:18

She reminds me of Victoria Beckham - both used to be heavier, but not overweight. Now they look painfully thin. I think it has aged Kate too, her skin looks quite slack for her age

Ohyesiam · 13/07/2019 22:25

To me she looks oddly naked in it? I don’t knowing why.

Poor woman, I’d hate to be the object of so much scrutiny.
