Royal Wedding Extravaganza: Catherine Reveals Second Dress

Via celebuzz.com

In case you didn't know, Catherine and William actually had two weddings, one for the public and one for close family and friends (all 500 of them). I am assuming that this is the second wedding dress* and it is just lovely,  keeping with Catherine's demur style. Catherine is such a tiny woman that she could easily get swallowed up in fabric so it is a real tip to how great of a designer Sarah Burton is to understand that and create a dress that gathers into the bodice and softly flounces out creating fullness in the hips but not over powering her petite frame.  I'm not really sure how I feel about the cropped sweater. It definitely spices things up for a dress that would generally look very David's Bridal like without the sweater and jeweled belt but maybe I would have chosen a different fabric for the sweater, the fuzzy is cute but a bit misplaced with the rest of the dress.  Oh and don't you just love Camilla Parker Bowles' house coat? Or is it a dress? House coat definitely my grandma has a pink one just like it. Work!


*Correction
This dress is for a wedding dinner party at Buckingham palace.
