| Is this a wedding dress or party dress or both? |
After the marathon of special reports and new stories surrounding the Royal Wedding, there's much leftover chatter about the dresses. Not just Catherine Middleton's dress but also her sister Filippa (also known as Pippa). Even dress designers like Michelle and Henry Roth for Kleinfold designed a replica dress in 48 hours as featured on Good Morning America. See video below.
So much speculation had fashionistas and wedding designers tied up in knots. First, who was the designer of the much anticipated dress? Many bets were placed on Bruce Oldfield who also designed dresses for the late Princess Diana. Oldfield is renowned as a bastion of British couture and has created dresses for famous fans including Catherine Zeta-Jones, Diana Ross, Emmanuelle Seigner, Taylor Swift, Anjelica Huston, Faye Dunaway, Melanie Griffith, Charlotte Rampling, Jerry Hall, Sienna Miller and Rihanna.
Would you have picked the below dress for Kate? Not me! Too modern for a bride that clearly demonstrated a clever balance between contemporary and traditional British style. In other words, be herself and please the future mother-in-law the Queen!

So what did you think of Kate's dress by Sarah Burton of the McQueen label? Did you swoon over the Grace Kelly- touch- of -traditional lace with modern neckline plunge, cinched waist and ballooning lower half? [Click on "comment" at the end of this posting to share your opinion!]
I loved it. It was both traditional and modern. Would I have selected that dress? For me? Well that depends on other styles. It's about the sea of choices. However in doing a quick Krysha's search, other traditional-but-modern blends have caught my eye.

These dresses are all gorgeous. I thought Kate's dress was far prettier than Diana's. That one looked like... Well, I don't know what, but I thought it was ugly.
I love the third dress. It's both modern with a fairytale twist. Not that I could afford it, but a girl can dream right?!
I'm so happy for Catherine and Prince William. Wishing them all the happiness.
