What do I think of the dress? Why, I thought you'd never ask
I
Heather Levine, senior fashion and beauty editor from the wedding Web site the Knot, was kind enough to take time to chat with me a moment ago, and she called Kate Middleton's dress "A trend-setting moment." And indeed it is. Although we'll always see strapless weddding dresses in houses of worship -- because nothing says "I do" like a racy display of decolletage -- Middleton's dress is sure to usher in a new era of bridal modesty.
It is a beautiful dress. The workmanship that went into the details, and the traditional fabrics are absolutely stunning. That said, I would have liked to have seen a bit more art in Burton's approach. This is a royal wedding, and I'm sure that Middleton's perspective was the deciding design factor, but just a few tiny, slightly more artistic details, could have changed bridal history.
