As we all know now, the dress was designed by Sarah Burton of Alexander McQueen. Miss Middleton worked closely with Burton in formulating the design of her dress. It's made from hand-cut English lace and French Chantilly lace. She wore matching shoes by Alexander McQueen. {I want to see a picture of the shoes!} The train is over six feet long. She wore a Cartier Halo tiara which was given to the Queen by her mother when she turned 18.
I'm not a lace kind of girl, but Catherine looks absolutely stunning. She wore a dress that looks both vintage and modern. Did anyone else immediately think of Grace Kelly? She definitely looks like a Princess marrying her Prince.
Were you a fan of the dress?

Turned on the tv as soon as I got up this morning to see the dress. I don't know if it is what I expected but I really like it!
Get ready to see thousands of replicas this summer!!!

I was waiting to see the dress. I knew it would have sleeves, as is the tradition for royal weddings, and it didn't disappoint. I LOVE lace. If I were to do it again, I would totally have lace on my dress.
My only complaint? Not enough sideboob. :)
I loved the dress! Beautiful! :)
I loved it! And I REALLY liked Pippa's dress!
I LOVED IT.....and cried nearly the whole morning!!!
The dress was perfect for her, LOVED the lace....I thought Grace Kelly too.
I just loved that Catherine looked SO radiant and happy all day long, she just smiled so naturally...that girl was meant to be a Princess :)
Great pics :)
I just posted about this too!
I was not crazy about the dress. I would have loved to see less lace + a more modern look. But she was still stunning!
Grace Kelly is the first thing I thought too - very royal!
ABC compared her to Grace Kelly as well. They put them both side by side & each were just stunning.
Personally, I like the lace. We knew she would have her shoulders covered & little cleavage. I think it looks beautiful & classic- which is just the look you want on your wedding day IMO.
It reminds me so much of my grandmother's wedding dress that it almost makes me wish I had gone that route when I picked mine.
I actually avoided that whole "getting up at 4am to watch the wedding" thing, but I did check out CNN this morning when I got to work just to see the dress. Honestly, I think it's super classy and looked fantastic on her. I imagine (given the cultural differences between Britian and US, not to mention she was marrying the crown prince in the biggest cathedral in England) that she had a few restrictions to work around, and the dress is really modern yet classy.
In one word --- STUNNING!
I gotta say - I adored the dress, can't stop thinking about it now! I, like Simone booed most of the way through - my kids were looking at me like I was insane. Not sure why it made me so emotional but must be something to do with her looking so happy and so...relaxed! Wonderful happy day. Lou x
I loved the dress and thought she looked beautiful!
I loved her dress!! She looks SO beautiful!
Loved it, so perfect for her! Sarah Burton rocked it!!!!
If it were me I would have gone for more poof and bling but this dress just screams Kate's style! Perfect!!!!
I love the dress! So classic. So elegant. So timeless. Stunning!
She is pure elegance! I immediately thought Grace Kelley when I saw the dress too. When I get home from work later, I will begin my full stalking of the entire wedding and watch the entire coverage of it!
I LOVED her dress. I thought it was perfect and yeah, I totally cried.
The dress surprised me because I was imagining more modern...however, she was respectful and traditional and beautiful, so I think it was a great pick. And she is so beautiful she could wear a potato sack and look brilliant. I hope they don't do to her what they did to Di.
I would never choose it for myself but over and over again LOVE IT LOVE IT LOVE IT! She looked amazing and I can't wait to get home and see the footage that I have on my DVR!!! Thank you for all these recaps girl! knew I could count on you!
P.S. Home girl is bringing sleeves back and as a girl w/ current bingo arms I am so happy! ;)
I loved this dress. The way it fit her, the fabric, the design. Perfect.
I love love love love love the dress! Beautiful!
YES YES YES!!!
Breathtaking and stunning!!! Such a gorgeous bride!!
I think she was BEAUTIFUL! The dress was gorgeous on her!
I loved, loved, loved the dress and immediately thought of Grace Kelly when I saw her. So I was thrilled later in the day when I was watching one of those style shows or something and they said that Kate used Grace Kelly's style as her inspiration. They did a phenomenal job. It's a perfect dress for the future Queen.
