No surprises here. Days before the wedding the dresses didn’t fit. Couture gowns, made by Givenchy from measurements sent in. This tailor worked day and night but they had all six dresses to fix. It’s obvious they couldn’t get it all done. They really needed remade.

I think we can see why Kate was upset and why Charlottes dress and some of the other younger flower girls dresses looked awful.

No but its still someone pushing at my boundaries im allowed to not like it without being abused for it

I dislike big bows on bridesmaid dresses. Maybe Meghan felt the same.

I think Camilla has had the nicest wedding dress.

@BradfordGirl

its a joke. If you know, you know

I'm pretty sure that everyone knows who they are (not saying they're liked, but they are known). Some posters on here are so delusional 🤦🏼‍♀️

Everyone?

They are incredibly popular. Don’t believe what the DM tells you. Spare is going to be the best selling memoir ever in the world.

It's all bonkers

Lies...Eugenie had the best wedding dress ever...😜

I won't hear a word said against that wedding day, it was glorious and the best Royal wedding I have ever witnessed.

Everyone? ….ok…..that’s not …..em …delusional?

but the lack of Givenchy seamstresses to come over and fit- can’t figure that out

Some probably assume she pissed them off, bullied them or made them cry. but the designer seemed happy enough on the netflix doc.

Maybe the measurements were given in centimetres to be helpful to the French, and they made the dresses having converted to inches, to be helpful to the English!

Spot on - I'm not the worlds greatest seamstress but I reckon I could have run one of those dresses up in a dupion silk (so not as slippery as the silk radzimir that was used) in 4 hours perhaps 5 if the hems were hand rolled. So it would have been much quicker for Ajay's team of 3 to have remade them which was what Kate was suggesting.

Because there's no malice intended. If someone hugs you, because they're a hugger, all that's happened is two people with mismatched social expectations have met. It's something in life everyone is aware of - everyone feels the anxiety of 'are we handshaking? Are we kissing? Oh god, we're kissing, are we doing both sides?'.

If I met my sibling's new partner and we had an awkward hug-shake-kiss moment, I would never think of it again. Because I'm a normal person. Unlike, it seems, William and Kate.

Everyone? ….ok…..that’s not …..em …delusional?

No more delusional than saying outside the UK people hardly know who they are.

Realistic it's somewhere in the middle of those two extremes! 🤣

I agree when meeting new people there is always that awkward moment of are we hugging, kissing, nothing?

My daughter was a little under three when we attended my half-sister's wedding. I don't remember her being fussy about the fit of her dress - but it did fit well, and had been made for her.
My half-sister had said no small ones for bridesmaids (she lied), so I had matching dresses for me and my little one, in a muted lilac patterned taffeta and the styles were similar in a sort of fifties full skirt fitted bodice shape that worked for a mother and daughter. We also sort of toned with the wedding colours, for what it was worth.
(and we looked better - shhh)
The dressmaking didn't take too long and the cost was reasonable but not cheap.
Maybe the royal family should come to my village for better seamstresses than a haute couture house.
Seriously though, I imagine Givenchy are not happy about their reputation being maligned by this attention-seeker who is insisted on airing these over-dramatic grievances.

Uh huh

Fair call, I'm getting caught up too. No, not everyone. But many, many millions. I wouldn't say they were unknown outside the UK.

@MoscowMules I agree, Eugenie looked perfect. Her hair, makeup, tiara, the stunning dress (which fit perfectly). The bridesmaids dresses fit properly too 😁

Maybe @Orangefir is Scottish?

Perfectly normal dialect.

I find it very weird that none of Megan's clothes seem to fit her properly including her wedding dress. And on her wedding day none of her flower girl dresses fitted properly either.

I don't understand how this happens with all the people she has access to.

It's all very odd.

The children looked fine but the dresses looked more BHS children’s bridesmaids range (in lovely fabric) than couture. It sounds like the tailor and his team are the only reason the children had anything to wear at all.

I think you have a very western centric view of the world. That’s not a criticism but the world doesn’t really pay attention to who the second son of the King is and who his wife is

In the Uk, yes. I’m America, some. In Europe, some. The rest of the world, nope

I'm fairly sure the poster is paraphrasing rather than quoting.

And 'needing remade' is dialect.

Your original point was 'outside the UK, people hardly know who they are' which was obviously ridiculous.
