Someone disagreeing with your dress choice is not a personal attack so don't make it one. And yes, I'd likely disagree with any dresses of Diana's, as like I stated they were good for the 80's but are out dated in the 21st century. Again not a personal attack, stating my opinion, as you stated your opinion. This is a discussion forumn is it not?
And I never suggested you thought she should wear another color. The only mention of color was my opinion on it, again not all about you. I thought there was a chance, in under skirts or such, there may be color. Numerous other posters mentioned other colors being common even in royal dresses.
I hope the dress is totally Kate. Yes she could do a fairy princess look but it isn't her. She is not a princess from fairy tales, she is a modern princess. I hope she picks something beautiful and modern, but still with enough tradition to fit the beautiful cathedral she is getting married in.
(Okay, this will be the last I say on this. It
is attacking when you pick apart several posts from someone with nothing to achieve but to bash every thing they say while not actually reading everything they wrote (for example the lilac dress: I wrote more than once not a copy, not the 80's style, but updated, modernized, but having inspiration from the ethereal, beautiful image it gave). Why call me negative then be far worse yourself? You don't know Kate, I don't know Kate, it is all speculation. When I said no matter which dress I posted you would hate it I meant
any dress in the world, not dresses of Diana (I only really like the dreamy lilac and the racy black dress from early in their relationship). You have made up your mind that anything I write you are not going to find any merit in which is too bad. Why aim so much venom at a fellow poster (me and others on many threads) who you don't agree with? It's only a wedding. Disagree with me as much as you want but please do it respectfully.

Yes, Kate does not instantly say from what she's worn so far that she's a "fairytale" type girl, yet she is marrying a prince in an amazing cathedral. So I believe that she will have to somehow have a splashier dress than we've seen her wear before (for the sheer magnitude of the venue and the distance of the tv cameras, etc.) I know a woman who never wore dresses even in regular life always casual pants, etc., but when she married she wore a very pretty full length gown, looked good in it, and astounded everyone. A modern women is lucky to have such a wide variety of styles so I think even a more staid woman can choose to look the fairytale part for the day.
I really like more exotic touches to more traditional dresses as well. For example William proposed to Kate in Africa, so she may work something subtly into her dress with that, or even something small like the garter (if the royal family does the garter thing?). I recall that Alicia Keys wore a pretty usual white dress (I've only seen from the waist up) but had this rather pretty East Indian style jewel bands in her hair which gave her a unique look while not being outrageous.
The actual wedding dress I imagine is going to be quite big (as in skirts), or with a long train because it's said she will change right after the photos to another dress for the reception the Queen is hosting (which leads me to believe it may be a difficult to maneuver in dress). Perhaps there will be yet another outfit for the reception dinner Charles is throwing? I wonder if there will be any photos of those for us to see?
