THAT dress.

I think it interesting how an estimate of probable cost of a dress in a national paper is believed to be the fact. No one knows what arrangements people make to acquire or wear designer dresses, designers need publicity to survive, what better free publicity than engagement photos. Same daily paper has listed Duchess of Cambridge spending over £100,000 on dresses in last year. But no one really knows what private arrangements are made.
Guess that is why the Queen who has everything made up twice in case of accidents has her own private designer, no one knows what it costs!

Am glad to see the spirit of Christmas is alive and well

Why not have engagement photographs, must everyone marry in secret, pretend they are not celebrating Christmas because there is poverty in the country?

?

Do you feel strongly about it maryeliza? ?

Doesn't ever matter What we think, the media have been given another lifeline at keeping in work. Hope they will be happy and long lasting as i do for anyone else as a happiness is a good thing for any country, nhs, overall well-being etc etc. As for the money spent, as has already been said she must have a lot more people asking her to wear their clothes, jewels etc, just as anyone with loadsamoney. It's those who pay the full price that are the daft ones, spending too much just to say it's a limited edition or whatever, still if they are happy and not doing anyone any harm then let's live and try our own best.

Breathtakingly stupid?

Vivienne Lee for me and Ingrid Bergman saying goodbye to Bogart in Casablanca looked so beautiful in those minutes.

Americans have very wide mouths , seem more teeth than eyes. Oh that sounds bitchy sorry.

BlueBelle beauty is obviously in the eye of the beholder. I think some Indian ladies are beautiful eg Shilpa Shetty. I recently saw an old photo of Sophia Loren when she was young and absolutely gorgeous.
I truly don't think Megan M is anything special to look at at all. But it really doesn't matter!

I like MM’s dress. A mix of refined and showy - like that take on style. Shows independence and individuality.
Don’t care if she paid for it, is merely showcasing it, or not to anyone’s taste.

Kate and co get given so many clothes they never need to buy any- when they photographed wearing them they are sold out so it’s a good marketing strategy. I like Meghan, she is gorgeous and obviously makes Harry happy. A bespoke couture gown can cost 6 figures if it is handsewn from fine fabrics.

Oh some of you sound so critical and unpleasant and sour grapes I couldn’t give a hoot about celebrities or Royals they re all just people but if you don’t like them why even look at their pictures why not just ignore them what, are they doing that is making you so annoyed and so worked up

Jane10 if you find her just ‘ordinary looking’ I d love to know who you find beautiful in the world?

She earned her money - if she wants to —waste— spend her money on that dress it’s no ones business but hers.

Is that snow on the ground?
Not a very practical choice for chilly Britain, more red carpet !

Brrr

BlueBell I did find the photographs so over the top, why not photographs of a happy, smiling couple not that eye gazing, cuddled up look. Lacked dignity . Great they are madly in love, but surely an engagement ring and a wedding date proves that.

Bluebelle I'm not looking or hoping for trouble - on the contrary I hope they'll be very happy.
But the DD always say I am fey

Showcasing it for the designer Baggs

You couldn't wear a dress like that more than once or twice could you!

Kittylester I can hear my DD saying 'Oh no, not one of your feelings Mum!

I don't think she's beautiful at all. Quite ordinary looking really. Not bothered about either of them. Won't be watching the wedding.

Why such bitter remarks Annie ‘nauseating’ really I thought they looked great together

Nothing’s worth that silly money blooming ridiculous but she looks really beautiful in the photo and the dress looks lovely too
Oh stop worrying about Harry he’s big enough and ugly enough to look,after himself he hardly looks like he’s been dragged into the relationship If he wasn’t a prince he’d be well out of her league she’s a very beautiful woman, but they look blissfully happy just let them get on with it and stop looking ( or hoping) for trouble

I liked the top half of That Dress. The skirt part... meh.

Do you suppose MM bought it, or was she just modelling it for the maker?

How can any dress be worth £56,000?

Lots of people voicing the same "feelings" on various pages on FB.

I'm on the fence but I certainly wouldn't want to see Harry hurt either kitty

I'm trying to ignore my 'feeling', jalima. I don't want Harry hurt!
