I applaud Catherine that she somehow managed to maintain her own style amid all the media attention and tradition of the royals. Hers was a simple, elegant, and timeless gown, and she wore it with the very best of style.Wandahttp://tidbitsandtreasures2011.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4525608390804164273.post-71586290681800471752011-05-01T21:15:24.245+01:002011-05-01T21:15:24.245+01:00How lucky to see Diana's dress close up like t...How lucky to see Diana's dress close up like that.

And did I tell you how envious I am? I would LOVE to see those dresses.

Maybe the V&A museum might get them in for an exhibition some time. <br /><br />Catherine Middleton's dress was really lovely and very much in keeping with the tradition of dresses created for British royal brides. The hand-made, hand-attached lace details, the way the dress was shaped, fitted and styled, the train (albeit a small one by previous standards!), the fact that it was quite a modest dress - especially by modern standards, yet it was still beautiful, stylish and fashionable. It was a fabulous frock and I'm sure Kate was as delighted with it as the rest of the world seems to have been! I hope she keeps it for always (even if she lends it out to be shown to people). <br />I'd like to go to the Royal Exhibition - something to plan for next winter perhaps. <br /><br />Thanks for sharing your story of the lovely dresses - it's great!Lizziehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11918211625453430621noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4525608390804164273.post-86303621283536910892011-04-30T20:48:30.018+01:002011-04-30T20:48:30.018+01:00as a former sewer, I know I would really appreciat...as a former sewer, I know I would really appreciate the detail and would love to see them up close!Cherihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15398170245040387614noreply@blogger.com
