Social media reaction to Kate's dress

A closely guarded secret right up until her appearance at the wedding, here's what readers had to say about Kate Middleton's wedding dress choice.

  1. Sarah Burton of Alexander McQueen designs Kate Middleton’s wedding dress - thestar.com
    The lacy white gown, with its low neckline, dramatic veil and medium length train, immediately provoked swoons of admiration on Friday.

    Oh, Pippa TOTALLY upstaged Kate. Pippa's dress was cool and modern. Kate's dress looked like it was made for an old lady. #RoyalWedding

    GASP! Oh my goodness so lovely. She is the prettiest bride. The blowing wind adding to the gothic feel of this dress.

    1) I choked up a bit watching a replay of the vows. 2) Her dress was uninspired and dare I say, ugly. 3) May they live happily ever after.

    @Nina_Frydenberg I think it was very beautiful and classy - elegance typically means classy. Dress suited her style, not someone else's.

    Saw pictures of Kate's balyhooed dress. For McQueen it was a "safe" design. I don't think Alexander would have approved. @fabmagazine

    I didn't like Kate's dress, it's too traditional. No style to it like at all...
