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 ;)
