    Purple bobbin posted a link in her original post :confused:

    I think it sold out almost immediately after she was pictured wearing it though.

    True, I just thought Lilly rose had found it on the Irish Zara site. Wires crossed it seems.

    I will pop into Zara Dundrum tomorrow on the off chance they might have it.

    Alas, it's sold out and British site doesn't deliver to Ireland.:mad:

    Apparently the makeup was done by Bobbi Brown : http://beaut.ie/blog/2011/her-royal-hotness-pippa-middleton-the-glory-of-her-ass-oh-yeah-and-her-bobbi-brown-makeup-too/

    Pippa did look absolutely stunning at the wedding, it seems like the tabloids and beauty websites are really milking it though just to have something new to report on, the rest of the time she doesn't look anything special.

    Imo although Pippa looked better on the wedding day than the bride, in real life Kate is so much more striking than Pippa.

    William and Kate had their first Royal engagement today after arriving back from their honeymoon.

    Love Kate's dress, it's so classy and elegant yet so simple.

    Just a pity she's so thin, a bit of curves would have improved that dress no end. Look at her little arms!

    Her upper arms are quite thin. Some people just don't have curves though and can't do anything about it. I think she looks lovely.

    She used to be a bit bigger, so it's not her natural state to be that thin.

    She was never curvy though. I'm as skinny as she is (although she's more toned) and I'll never be curvy.

    What size are you? Last time I was in a Zara store they still had mediums and larges left, no small though :(

    She was healthier looking back in the day, she is a bit too skinny now. That Reiss dress is lovely but she has a lollipop head in it!


    She looks much better here on the right;

    I tried it on. Tbh, up-close, it looked nowhere near as nice as in the pictures. It was made from a very cheap polyester. I've nicer dresses from Penney's! :eek:
    It's a pity, as I loved the colour and would have bought it, had it been better made.

    I have the Reiss dress on hold, but I'm in two minds as to whether or not to get it. I'm not made about the material, but I love both the cut and colour :confused:

    I found the same. Even an XS was hanging off me, shapeless and not flattering.

    Perhaps Kate had it altered! Or maybe she's just taller and a different shape to me ;)

    I like the Reiss dress, I think she looks great in it. Not sure why people think she looks too thin. Plus the comparison pictures posted above are kind of pointless, as you can see her arms and thighs in one, but not the other?! You need to compare in similar clothing, not a loose-fitting dress and a tight t-shirt and mini-skirt :confused:

    I hadn't intended to reference the picture on the left, but it was the only pic I could find on google that had her in the outfit on the right, which shows off her old figure a lot more. So in that respect, if you compare the old picture from the right, and the new picture in the Reiss dress, you can see her significant weight loss and the difference it makes.

    Kate, William, Harry, The Queen and Kate's mother were at the Races today in England.

    Kate looked lovely, though her dress was a bit short, I thought.

    Oh she looks brilliant! I don't really think that the skirt is too short, she has great legs and she can carry it off. If I had legs like hers, I would wear skirts like that all the time.

    /leg envy:p

    I'd love legs like that. I mean, mine are ok, but not model-like. Never will be, not with years of competitive rowing and cycling. Damn you coach!!!

    She has looked great in everything I've seen her in since I realised who she was (approximately a few days before the royal wedding!).

    I dunno, I think people just trot out that line because of his colouring, he doesn't actually look much like him in the face. I think he resembles a young Prince Philip, he seems to have his personality too!
