I have never liked Catherine's penchant for short waists and this is the shortest and most delineated waist she has sported yet, it is also too short, but that is not what bothers me and Leopoldine nailed it . . . it's juvenile and the entire dress looks like a child's size. She got the hair right, bless her heart, it looks like she's hiding a small cat up there in that bumpit and, horror of horror if this is Catherine's fashion choice we are going to see more of the same with even larger bumpits.Not a good look. The dress, with its high waist and short skirt just looks like it's too small for her. And the poofy hair looks weird, high on top and flat in the back. Not a good look.I don't like this ensemble. I like the idea of the dress, but it looks sort of juvenile in this instance. I also would have liked different hair .... I think. It's just that something's off. The whole outfit is a miss.

All in all, it doesn't scream Spring or Summer but rather Winter and where are your plastic earrings and vinyl, knee-high, zip up boots?

Love the style of the dress but would have preferred it to be just 1-2cm longer. Not sure if the shoes are the best match but I am jealous of how great her legs are looking in this outfit.
I suspect that she has some of her outfits altered to disguise her relatively long waist & short legs. To my eyes, it can throw off the lines and fit of the garment.
I just have one point: why does she need so many new clothes? Why can't the existing clothes be used a lot more than they are?
I understand the need to dress appropriately, or in certain cases to dress symbolically, but yesterday's engagement did not fall into that category.
I kind of agree. She has two of the same Preen dresses but in different colors and that is just beyond unnecessary.I've been wondering that too.
It seems like she used to repeat wearings much more often than she does lately.
And really, many of her new clothes are very similar to what she already owns.
Kate has short legs??
Amazing how everything Kate wears that is the slightest above the knee is girlish and too short and everything the slightest below the knee is matronly and frumpy.

I dont have an issue with her having the same dress in different colours, that is her choice. For me the sheer volume of new clothing that she seems to acquire in a year seems quite unnecessary and wasteful.
I highly doubt that is the case with Kate. And sure, some stuff is only seen once. So far that is. She pulls out stuff that has not been seen for 5-10 years at times. I would not write off stuff as "one offs" just yetMany of the dresses/outfits are seen but once, then never again. I've often wondered if shops and designers lend Catherine clothing? The Yorks possibly have the same situation, since many of their clothes are seen but once.
Or possibly, different people?It's called criticism for the sake of criticism

Really it's none of anyone's business how many outfits she has ...she's hardly the first woman to have lots of clothes in her closet or buy/wear new clothes often. I know folks in my circle who do this ..have closets full of clothing, more than they can wear, until I have to pay for it it's nothing for me to comment on.

You are right, it is not anybody's business. However, we are all entitled to comment on what appears to be quite wasteful behavior.
Entitled? I think not.
Do you comment on your friends/family when they have what you consider to be wasteful behavior?
