Marchesa? I like their gowns and a lot of women wear them. IMO, Kate is not sophisticated enough to pull them off.

Hi KittyAtlanta, you know, sometimes I think that you say something (a) to see the reaction from the other members or (b) to pull their feet!!:ermm: I honestly believe that Kate is a really sophisticated lady and was brought up that way from her younger days!! She had her bad days but for most part she has what is takes and uses it well!! She is natural but sophisticated and throw in the bit that she is also classy. She is doing a good job!!!
 
Kate is a woman that in later pregnancy could appear out somewhere in a muumuu and there'd be a rush of women all over the world sporting muumuus pregnant or not.

I do think though that Kate is a very elegant and well dressed woman.
 
Pants.


P.S. That's a joke, don't flip out. ;)
 
Maybe it's silly, but remember how earlier in her marriage, Kate dressed in theme for her visits a bit? The military McQueen to her first military engagement, the sailor dress to Prince Edward Island to see the Anne of Green Gables stuff? Well I kind of hope she does that for her Harry Potter engagement. Nothing too overt- maybe wearing Gryffidor colors or a fun accessory. I'm a huge nerd for stuff like that.

Mmm... Wonder what house she would go for.. :D
 
Jenny Packham Fall 2013
Dress - Great color for the Duchess and a great flow to it. This also comes in a cream color which I would also suggest.
Top - Great top but with a nicer bottom skirt in chiffon.
Skirt suit - An evening skirt suit which is very dressy.
Red - I would love to see this look on her. Again hair pulled up this would be an eye catching look.

Matthew Williamson Fall 2013
Dress - A lovely shade of mustard which could be worn all seasons. Matched with a simple belt to add a final touch or accessorized really well this would be a nice look.

Matthew Williamson Pre Fall 2013
Evening dress - Lovely shades and a nice print. I would suggest hair is pulled all up.

Erdem Pre Fall 2013
Green coat - Great for all seasons. Would also be easy to match with a skirt and a top or even a dress. This could be matched with a hat.
 
Jane Taylor hats

Black hat - a very mall cute hat in black. I think this is a fun hat and wearable.
Cream hat - Great if Kate wants to go neutral. Easy to match with an outfit.
Hat with net - Pretty color and I do like the net and flowers on it.
Hat - Great hat with lovely detailing. It's also a color that she can always wear.

I could actually see quite a few of the taller princesses wearing these two gems.

They're both breathtaking. I would kill for the green dress.

The dresses and colour combinations are amazing. Both pieces would look lovely on Duchess of Cambridge. However, a lady must have a willow figure to emphasise etherealness of the dress.
Del Pozo is Spanish. I am sure there are some good choice for Crown Princess Letizia.

Any suggestions on what you might like to see Catherine wear on the christening? Personally, I would love if Catherine recycled the pink Emilia Wickstead dress she wore to the sovereigns lunch and then to a garden party last year.

Personally I would love to see a pastel-coloured dress,a soft blue or creamy pink would be lovely for a christening. I am sure Catherine will chose something beautiful, but I do not expect her to re-use a dress we have already seen at an official event. Princess Diana has chosen a pink dress with a floral print for William´s christening, maybe we will see a reference to that style just like the Duchess of Cambridge has chosen a lovely blue dress with some similarities to Diana´s dress when she got out of the hospital with her new-born son.

Whilst we will never know for sure, I am not at all convinced that Catherine's choice of blue polka-dotted dress whilst leaving hospital with Prince George was a nod to Diana in any way.

We could only know if we asked Catherine personally or if she had talked about her inspiration & ideas for that dress in an interview, but I had the impression the dress was a reference to Diana´s blue polka-dotted dress, just a more modern version of it! I do not want Catherine to become a copy of Diana, but I like the fact that she has some "connections" to her like the sapphire engagement ring. It is a way of keeping the memory alive and also a little bit of family tradition, just like some women like to wear their mother´s wedding dress for their own wedding. Also, many families have special baby clothes for christening that are handed down and used for a long time, to me it is a nice tradition because it creates a sense of continuity and connection to the family history.

I am all for tradition and referencing history, but if Catherine was actually signalling a tribute to Diana with her sartorial choices, she might have chosen a slightly different wedding gown!
 
Thanks god she did not do that ;-) Catherine has a very different sense of fashion & style, she lives in a different era than the late PoW and it is good that she does not try to imitate or change her style to please anyone.
The tradition to wear mother´s wedding dress is a little bit out of fashion recently because nowadays most women have their own ideas and like to chose their own personal style. The generation of my grandmother was not used to buying their own wedding dress, it was common practice to use a family piece.
While today the wedding dresses are usually not re-used anymore, I know a lot of families where the wedding veil and some jewels are still handed down from one generation to the next. Some traditions are good and worth keeping, some are not so good-everyone has to find out what works best for their own life :)

Jenny Packham Resort 2014

Green chiffon dress - Lovely style of dress and quite simple. I would suggest closing the front so its not too revealing. The Duchess would look nice in this with hair pulled up and with long pair of earrings. This is also available in a coral colour which would also looked amazing!
Knot dress - Elegant style and with her slender body she would pull this off nicely. The embellishments like a necklace add a lot to the dress.
Green beaded dress - Lovely colour, embroidery on lace or tulle and the cut is flattering. Hair all up and simple jewellery to complete the look.

Erdem Resort 2014

Jacket and dress - The jacket is wearable with a simple skirt or over a dress. The dress is wearable with a plain jacket or even a coat or even alone for a cocktail.

Collette Dinnigan Resort 2014

Yellow dress - Lovely shade of yellow and a great fit. Would be an ideal choice for her for her Australian tour next year.
Lace evening dress - Simple fit and the belt is lovely. I don't mind if hair is open but all pulled back.
