All about the dress again, oh no!

Yes, LA dresses were ditsy but they had loads of flounces and frills and gathers - a lot of fabric, like Meghan's dress.

Actually, her dress fabric reminds me of that French toile fabric that was fashionable for bedrooms at one time.

Did you click to the next picture of another Spencer cousin in a large floral number? Maybe it was a fancy dress wedding!

But Laura Ashley dresses were ditsy ? The one’s I wore did .

What's next for us then? Burkas?

Well, I like it

Has it got pockets?

Oh dear apologies - I know it’s not a joking matter but som3 men have been advising we should dress in such a way as to stop men being tempted

Having now seen this frock ( floral horror) I think there are several dresses under it Merlot
On the plus side ( and it certainly is) you could stash a good number of vol au vents in it without other guests being any the wiser.

But much less likely to get upskirted?

It's next year's High Street fashion trend, I've read! There are lots of flowery, voluminous dresses in the shops now and the trend is towards 'men-repelling' outfits, apparently. Who knew frocks were so political?

It's not so different from the Laura Ashley dresses that were so popular in the 70's & early 80's, really, although it does look too big on her.

Looked like a dressing gown/nightie to me. Of course we can criticise it - it's absolutely awful. And I'm not apologising to anyone on this thread who knows her/is a friend/ is related to her.

merlotgran of course that is the answer ???

Maybe the real dress is underneath?

I don't think it will see the light of day again.

Criticised by everybody around them?

Just commenting on the dress.

How would those commenting if everything they wore were criticised by everybody around them.

Give the poor woman a chance. If she turns up for official engagements inappropriately dressed, that is one thing, but what she wears to a private engagement is nobody elses, business but hers.

I love that dress!!

But the shoes - yuk!

Too much print with too much dress

It looks as though it was bought for someone at least one size larger.

I think it is very pretty, not everything has to be close fitting.

I quite like the dress its very fashionable but it does look a bit too big on the top. I think the new Duchess has a way to go before she finds a style that suits her and the role she now occupies. I think it very unkind of the DM to put her very small slip (?new shoes on grass) on a loop so it looks like she is dancing- not funny.

I suppose she's trying to fit in with the RF and searching for her new look. This isn't it! I remember Diana wore some awful outfits at times in the early days too.

Perhaps she was trying to make up for the too much flesh style on the balcony

Blimey - perhaps designed to not upstage the bride? (Being charitable)

Certaintly not a flattering outfit.
