Princess Of Wales Green Velvet Dress

[clockface78]

having just see the Princess Of Wales in that absolutely stunning green velvet dress, I would love to find something similar for a Christmas ball I’m going to in December. Anyone seen anything like it?

Monsoon I think have similar.

This is pretty similar and a good price thandth.com/collections/velvet-bridesmaid-dresses/products/celestevelvet-huntergreen?variant=55631374483839

I should say I’m looking for under £250. That HN is way out my price range but is stunning.

Not quite the same, but Cefinn have a gorgeous green velvet dress in their black Friday sale: https://www.cefinn.com/products/irina-bias-cut-velvet-maxi-dress-green

(I'm keeping my fingers crossed for a non-velvet version I've been lusting after to go in the sale!)

Ohhh thank you this could be perfect!

It’s goergepus, as is Kate, but £1600+ for polyester? What happened to proper velvet- you never see it any more?

this looks very close! Gorgeous dress!

@Pillytracksive gone down a velvet rabbit hole and I’ve just bought this long sleeve version. Praying it fits! https://thandth.com/collections/velvet-bridesmaid-dresses/products/camillavelvet-huntergreen?variant=55631377990015

I am neither a royalist nor a fashion commentator, bu5 I will say that it’s great to see Kate looking so fit & well following her illness.

God, I’m old.

I opened this thread expecting to see a vintage pic of Diana.

I get that she has teams of people helping her but she is a pillar of strength. I admire her poise and grace so much.

Me too!

Catherine is my DH’s absolute pinup . Last nights green velvet dress was stunning .

’ That colour would suit you’ he said with stars in his eyes.

Well maybe, but I am short, saggy and sixty , so never going to happen , sigh.

Aw, @Dearg, clearly you are a gorgeous princess to your husband! That’s so lovely ☺️

I see you’ve bought one but this one is beautiful and great value…

Crikey, that’s gorgeous!

I’m always sceptical of brands that I can’t tell who they are or where they are based. I’ve been stung before by buying something that looked amazing on the site but was such poor quality when it arrived

Fair enough! I didn’t think to check trustpilot but just have, and it looks like you are right to be sceptical.

She very clearly has an eating disorder. Her head is bigger than her waist. It’s very very concerning.

Well I was in the anorexic range after extensive cancer treatment

. It wasn’t that I had an eating disorder as such, I just could not use the calories. It took me about 18 months to be able to eat sensibly.

She is very slender but has been through a lot.

That doesn't mean the colour or fabric wouldn't suit you and look lovely. If you want a more covered look, the suggestions on this thread are good.

Agreed - that’s an obvious eating disorder - and I’m speaking as someone with direct experience of it. I’d also say it’s been going on for some years.

She's absurdly thin at the moment but is recovering from cancer.
