Royal style: forget all your stresses as we talk royal dresses

Now. A request. Can we please keep this to critiquing the clothes rather than the wearer?

So if you want to talk about what Meghan's wearing then fine, go ahead. I'm not even saying you have to like everything she wears. This applies to all royal women - if you don't like an outfit then do feel free to say so.

But if you want to talk about "Megxit" then please go to one of the many many other MN threads about it and leave us to our clothes chatter!

I have the same problem as Meghan with boots! My knee length boots are all at least 10 years old as the ones available now are way too wide but my real problem is ankle boots. I need a new pair but my feet are size 8 so ones that size just end up massive around my ankles and look like clown shoes!

The boots with the red skirt make her feet look witchy/odd! These Stuart Weitzman boots are much better.

I love that picture of Leti MotherofPearl. The skirt is lovely and yes, I can imagine Kate in that outfit.

I like Max’s dress but it doesn’t fit her properly and Meghans boots are way too wide.

I think those boots would have looked hideous with the tartan skirt 😱 fine with the skinnies though.

@SenecaFalls off topic but where do you go for a good bra fitting in the US?

According to Google, Meghan has size 7 feet which might explain the boots. Shoe manufacturers seem to think that if you've got big feet then you must have calves to match! But I don't know how reliable Google is - it also claims Kate is a 5.5 which is quite small for someone as tall as her.

My guess is that size 7 is an american size seven- which is a size 5 in UK.

Kate does have small feet. There's a pic of her in one of her evening gowns that shows the size stamp on her LKB shoe

Just dropping this pic in. Love the skirt

My problem is actually getting boots over my calves. I have to go for extra wide. I’ve always coveted the dubarrys but even the extra wide doesn’t fit. it’s a shame as I’m quite petite but my calves obviously didn’t get the memo.

Kate wears size 5, 5.5 and 6.
The biggest size she wears is in summer, as feet swell.
The LK Bennett are size 6 and the Jimmy Choo shoes are 5.5 in these photos. I think she has worn Rupert Sanderson in the 5.

I loved that blue skirt, it was beautiful! So gutting that it looked see-through I don’t suppose it will be worn again because of that. The colours were lovely.

I did wonder about that @pallisers. But I assume Kate is a U.K. 5.5 as otherwise she might topple over!

Meghan has big feet for her height, they're definitely not UK size 5. I'd believe 6.5 or 7.

Yes that was lovely @Spudlet and the pearl clutching over whether it was or wasn't see through was hilarious

Not keen on the boots-like-wellies. If they fit that badly, just don't buy them. They look proper draughty! She is a beautiful woman but she was definitely at the back of the queue when giving out calves, bless.

Meghan was seen at a women's centre in Vancouver today. Seems to be different boots than yesterday?
I like the outfit, she does casual very well. I imagine boots are probably the most practical in Vancouver right now.

Wellies are definitely needed there! I think Vancouver isn't as cold as other parts of Canada but it's very wet.

The boots are enormous.
Maybe they are fancy wellies

Women’s shelter

She needs some big socks to come all the way up, for coziness! You can get some great ones. I have a raspberry pink pair, they are so warm I hardly wear them - but when I do I’m toasty.

Meghan looks beautiful in the blue outfit. Navy can look a bit flat, but the sheen gives it life.

It’s snowing in Vancouver (I have a friend who lives there). So Meghan’s boots might actually be wellies. It’s unlikely they are just regular boots (or at least I wouldn’t wear regular boots in the snow).

I’m another one who has trouble finding boots that are narrow enough to fit my calves, and I agree that it has become more difficult to find anything suitable.

I think you can get wellie socks that are made to fit over the top rim of the wellies.
