Kate’s dress was nice but safe and dull. The reception dress had more pizazz.

“All the girls go by dressed up for each other, and the boys do the boogie-woogie on the corner of the street.” – Van Morrison (Wild Night)

Fashion is definitely a XX thing. No matter what your age ladies, the boys are interested in what’s between the sheets. My sweetie is 60 and between the sheets she still looks fine to me even if the ‘wild nights’ are a bit more infrequent than 20 years ago. 😉

You will not see that dress at a Lane Bryant, for sure.

(I am not slim-figured, and I do shop at Lane Bryant.)

Having said that, it will be (just as her sister’s wedding dress) HEAVILY imitated. Just watch for the next few months at bridal salons across this nation…

Interesting. I never noticed the buttons before now.

Clearly men and women have different definitions for “rail thin” and “no hips”. I say she’s very pretty, the dress showed her off well, and millions of eyes saw here and a whole bunch of men took notice.

She’s 5â€²9â€³ and weighs about 120lbs.

That’s pretty thin for 5’9″. But it is her arms that give it away. Not huge, but shapely. I suspect that if she was in a bikini I would not be able to visually count her ribs, unless she contorted one way another.

Is Pippa seeing anyone? sadly, I don’t think I could put up with her inlaws…

Yes, Pippa’s dress was wowza, most definitely. And you’d have to have a Pippa figure to pull it off. Kate’s dress didn’t do it for me. I think Grace Kelly’s dress was a lot better. Grace Kelly had that wonderful high neckline, and beautiful wide satin sash at the waist, those two details made a big difference, kind of made it made it look demure and kind of sexy at the same time. Something Grace Kelly excelled at without peer it is true. So a comparison may be harsh. Still, it was a lovely wedding, and I wish all the young people well.

Tom: who's catty? I think Pippa looked great, and said so in my original post back at the time of the wedding:

I predict that Kate Middleton’s clonelike sister Pippa will be snapped up rather quickly on the marriage market–slender good looks seem to run in the family...

My point in the present post is about Pippa's dress itself and the article I linked to, which indicates that the dress is being widely copied. And I'm saying it would not be flattering for most women, but only slender ones. Such as Pippa.

Expat- Oops, never took you for XX!
But my point remains valid, I think. Do you?
