Ulquiorra May 20, 2018 Share May 20, 2018 Toronto Star' Without a shadow of doubt, Princess Diana would have adored Meghan’s dress. It is every inch befitting of the Duchess of Sussex – pure, simple and elegant, with a mix of traditional and contemporary features. She kept covered with three-quarter length sleeves for a modern modesty. The boatneck is also very classic. But it is the lack of embellishments that give it that high-fashion impact and really make a statement. At any royal wedding , the surroundings are going to be ornate. So you do not want too much fuss in the dress. But what many people don’t realise is that a dress that’s simple is often harder to make than something with lots of tulle – because it has to fit so perfectly. The simple shape of it works well, it drapes beautifully. That magnificent five metre veil is what adds the drama. © Provided by Trinity Mirror Shared Services Limited Credits: PA PA The work that would have gone into that would have been extraordinary. I thought the hand-embroidered flowers in her headpiece, from the 53 countries of the Commonwealth, were a lovely touch. © Provided by Trinity Mirror Shared Services Limited Credits: PA PA British designer Clare Waight Keller – Givenchy’s creative director – did a stunning job. Givenchy was the go-to designer for the late Hollywood actress Audrey Hepburn. And you can see it is slightly reminiscent of Hepburn’s style. © Provided by Trinity Mirror Shared Services Limited Credits: PA PA When I made Diana’s dress it was very much of her time. When you see it, you know immediately it’s the Eighties – that era of romance, drama and theatrics. © Provided by Trinity Mirror Shared Services Limited Credits: PA PA In contrast, Kate Middleton’s and now Meghan’s dresses have been very different. They are timeless – you wouldn’t be able to date them. Meghan’s is a dress that will be remembered for decades to come and perfectly reflects the future monarchy.
