I still am a little unmoved by the bodice of this BUT! I am excited to see something from way back in the back of the archives, and it's definitely improved with age for me. I still sort of wish the entire thing was patterned, though. (I LOVE a patterned formal gown.) Also: thank you for going for your metallic shoe, Kate. I say this literally every time Wills wears a tux and it is that I wish he wore a cummerbund or something, because he too is long of torso and his shirt always looks like it's about to be sloppy. Like, it's NOT sloppy...but it's sloppy adjacent. (Chaz, on the other hand, almost always does the double-breasted tux, which looks very smart on him. He IS a double-breasted enthusiast. [Insert PG-13 pun here.])

The back of this dress is BEAUTIFUL; the sweep of the skirt is lovely.

Whoops, I downloaded more pics of Kate's updo than I thought I did. It has a very Elizabeth Taylor in the 60s feel -- this whole thing sort of does -- which is not an insult. GO FULL CAFTAN NEXT TIME, KATE!

"Look at my sparkly clutch, everyone! Aren't you proud?!"
