Local wedding expert weighs in
Does the veil on Kate Middleton -- sorry -- I mean the Duchess of Cambridge, make the 29-year-old bride look older? Local wedding dress designer Daniel Faucher thinks the bride should have gone with a longer, lighter weight veil, and perhaps a different tiara. Otherwise, he's a huge fan of the Sarah Burton-designed dress for Alexander McQueen, complimenting its fit on the new duchess.
Faucher, who has a boutique in the South End, said he would have opted for a longer veil, but said he thinks the length of the dress's train is ideal for Westminster Abbey and overal that the gown is beautiful. He also had a few issues with the hem of the gown, saying that other gowns in McQueen's runway collections have sported stiffer hems, and are better fitted with length. But overall, our local bridal experts had few complaints about the dress.
