I’m sure it was the limitation of the material. But couldn’t it have been cut in more towards the waist? Perhaps it wouldn’t have laid properly over the hop area, I don’t know.
What’s the hop area?
And, maybe we wanted it that way. I thought it was very tasteful.
While I’m sitting here eating my popcorn, I’m mulitasking by making a list of all the fashion mavens who will not be invited to my wedding. >:)
Just speculating, but I doubt seriously that the royal baby news was shared widely at the wedding events. I’m sure H&M wanted to share the news in person with the Queen and Prince Philip, as well as Charles (assuming he didn’t already know). I’m guessing that William & Kate already knew and were part of the “conspiracy” for those four to arrive at the church by car instead of walking. At the time, the tv commentors said this was likely due to their respect for Eugenie’s day since more exposure if they walked would have created more media frenzy around them. Now, I’ve seen comments that by having both couples arrive by car, no one thought twice about it and the speculation of a baby was minimized, as there wasn’t much opportunity to dissect Meghan’s loose fitting coat ensemble during the few seconds shown of their arrival. If this news was shared widely at the wedding events, do we really have the expectation that it would have stayed off the front pages for another 72 hours?
I don’t expect they chat much at either the wedding or reception events. It seems more formal than when we go and lean over our plates to update friends.
I thought that Meghan’s nondescript outfit was chosen because it would not draw attention on Eugenie’s day, just as Kate wore an old dress to Meghan’s wedding.
Wore “an old dress”? as in they actually wore it previously ? Shocker!
I’m wearing a dress today that is at least 15 years old, a work dress that has been worn several hundred times. Now that’s an old dress! At the time I read that Kate’s outfit had been worn at previous events, and was thetefore not of interest to fashion reporters.
I thought that was very classy and thoughtful of her.
@skieurope, I promise you, I am ANYTHING but a fashion maven!!!
