I will admit that I couldn't wait to see The Dress and I was expecting something a little over-the-top. This is a royal wedding, right? The Dress should be something that us mere mortals wouldn't be able to wear. Look at Princess Di's giant meringue of a dress with it's 25-foot train 30 years ago. (Unfortunately, that dress made poofs, ruffles, and bows trendy all through my middle school years.)
The Dress was the first thing I looked for as soon as I logged onto the computer this morning. My reaction? Instantly, I thought of both Grace Kelly and Queen Elizabeth. I couldn't decide who's dress it favored more. So I headed to Google and it turns out that The Dress looks more like Grace Kelly's dress but there are some influences from the Queen's wedding dress as well.
Honestly, I think it's very tasteful. Retro with a modern flair. I also think (hope) that the design of the dress and the modest bouquet display a practicality and maturity for the future royals.

I love the dress and it remided me so much of Princess Grace. Very regal and stunning. As much as I loved Lady Di her wedding dress was the worest thing she ever put on. The train was awesome but the bows and ruffles. Good lord edit already.
As for watching the wedding. No. I'm just glad its over and hope the world will leave those poor children alone.
I thought the dress was perfect, and she was a poised and confident bride. I'm glad no terrorists attacked on their special day, and I certainly hope this union turns out better than Diana's did.
If you are into the royal a cool iPhone app called note to the royal couple allows you send messages of support to Kate and Will.
It's a free app.
