The Dress

My first impression was slightly surprised!  I expected something a tad more extravagant.  A longer train perhaps, I'm not sure, just ... more!!  But after watching for a few minutes "the dress" began to grow on me.  It could be summed up in two words - Simple Elegance.  From head to toe, Kate was absolutely stunning - from the beautiful long lace sleeves on her gown (a requirement when getting married in the Abbey), the 9 ft train, her earrings (which were a gift from her Mom and Dad and inspired by the Middleton family coat of arms), the sold silk bodice and skirt (which apparently had padding on the hips - imagine needing padding on your hips?!) and the simple bouquet.  Just gorgeous!  Apparently she did not have any extensions and I thought her hair style was perfect with a few loose curls and 1/2 up!  Were you enthralled with the Royal Wedding and all the events and coverage leading up to it?  I obviously was and I have hours of PVR'd coverage and specials to still watch ;)
