Why doesn't somebody just ask her already?!
EIIR said:I highly doubt that Catherine's dress was based on Grace Kelly's. I'm 3 years younger than Catherine and I'd never seen Grace's dress before. It's just not a frame of reference for women of our generation - in the UK at least. Ask the average 29 year old British female who Princess Grace was and I'd bet that not many would have any idea.

Grace's was incrediblly beautiful, Catherine's was love, but underwhelming.
I'm just grateful that it wasn't a snoozefest. I think she did good.
I adore the neckline and bust of Catherine's dress, absolutely perfect for her figure, represented a fabulous sense of style and occasion, and most importantly, I can safely assume she will be one bride who will not look back decades down the line and regret wearing something so timeless!
Of course, it screams '80's. It was the '80's. I disliked the top, too, but that's what you get when you put your faith in a designer and don't think about what looks best on your.Um, No!
Diana's gown does not look like a fairytale dress.It screams 1980s! Cinderella's wedding dress was much better looking that her ball gown, but both of them knew not to go over the top in some areas. Fairy tale gowns have big skirts (bigger than Diana's) but not over the top bodice's, shoulders, and lace in places it wasn't needed. I should really just stop debating this with people, some people love that dress, others don't.
Well let's think about this now. Have previous wedding gowns of Princess' scream the decade they were created in? For example, Kate's is a throwback to the past. Princess Margaret's gown seemed more 19th century and Victorian than 1960s. Mette-Marit and Mary also didn't seem to go with current fashions either.
I think Diana's dress had the misfortune of being designed by novice designers and a teenage bride who didn't realize less is more.
Did anyone on here watch the series The Tudors? In the 4th season Catherine Howard wore a blue and yellow costume to a church service, and its design style reminded me of Diana's wedding gown, with being too much of a good thing.
