The color is great! The design, meh, too busy with the dots and cutouts and piecrust ruffles and faux see thru panels. I don't mind the silhouette. And I would LOVE to get a good view of the earrings! Anyone got one?
How on earth can anyone tell what jewelry she is wearing with all that hair in her face? She looks like she is drowning in bad 1970s fashion with the hair, the dress and her slouchy posture! A pretty awful combination for her. I wish someone from the palace would take her aside, pull her hair off her face and tell her to stand up straight!!
I didn't realise fashion threads were so negative. I don't post in other threads or follow other royals' fashion but I think I will start. It must be quite the gauntlet to run
Depends on whether people like the outfit or not. Generally, people aren't overly taken with this outfit so comments are "negative". They are just people's opinions.
I don't know who is running the gauntlet - I very much doubt the Duchess of Cambridge checks in here to see what we all think.
Well flipping through other fashion threads I've already seen the pattern of people posting. It's an eye opener but not really surprising

I don't really understand what you're saying - sorry ? - I hadn't thought there were patterns as such. Some people like a certain royal's style and don't like another's eg. some find Maxima a bit OTT and prefer Letizia's more pared down look or vice versa. Equally, some posters post "positively" or "negatively" according to individual outfits. Personally, I quite often dislike Princess Charlene's clothes and other times I find them absolutely stunning, sometimes I find Queen Mathilde a bit "bank managerish" and other times I think wow.
For myself, I don't normally love Catherine's fashion (don't hate it either) but there have been some outfits I liked (particularly on the Australia/New Zealand tour). I just happen to really not like this particular dress. Others disagree and like/love it - fair enough.
You haven't actually said whether you like the dress or not - what do you think about it?
I said I like the dress. Maybe you missed it. My Twitter feed was/is full of positive reviews
As for the 'pattern' it's pretty much a rule of royal watching. If one likes royal 'A', one will put down other royals to boost royal 'A'
Not a hard and fast rule but it applies more often than not ( I'm just starting to flip through the fashion threads)
I thought posture improved once indoors. Perhaps chilly and so she hunched her shoulders? I know I do that. I also know some people would find that unforgivable in royal.Hair and posture spoil the look once again.

I personally love this dress - the colour, pattern, material and especially the late 70's/early 80's style collar - it's elegant! I do actually think having her hair up would have completed the look.
The only minus side for me is the earrings, which I think were gold and would have been nicer had they been diamonds.

(This site also has listed the other occations she has worn them on)
I am not sure whether the dress was a proper choice for the engagement. The dress per se did not flatter Catherine, The Duchess of Cambridge, at all. Inelegant posture further aggravated the look.

Kate looks fab as usual. I like the dress, it and Kate got great reviews on social media. I'm looking forward to India
I think you are in error here. Fashion is fashion and there is no way I can boost another royal woman's sartorial taste by posting a negative view of Catherine's.I said I like the dress. Maybe you missed it. My Twitter feed was/is full of positive reviews
