Kate's - COCKTAIL (shorter) dresses

[Lady Liebe]

🫣 I love that dress.

I feel like it somehow works on her. I'd never wear it myself but she looks good in a lot of the funky 80s styles she's been wearing lately.

I have to admit she does look well in it, and it is far far better than the yellow outfit in the same style she wore at the end of the Caribbean tour.

🫣 I love that dress.

I do, too!
It really suits her and I like the retro style of it. Peplums work on her because she has such thin hips. It's good it's in dark navy, it might not work as well in another color.

Me too. I love 80's style.

Me not.... I was there....

I still have a few peblum dresses and they are good for covering a tummy pooch as long as your bum isn’t too big.

This is a dress Diana would have worn in 1986, right down to the two tone shoes.

Reminds me of my young professional woman days when I spent more on clothes than I did food

Kate's at the Wimbledon Mens Final in yet another Alessandra Rich dress

Oh dear. What in the fresh hell is this little house on the prairie monstrosity. 

I can’t see any LHOP elements - can you elaborate? I’m seeing 1980s!!! 😹

This navy one is better than the yellow one, but it's still a bit much.  Regardless, her sheer excess in these awful dresses, especially debuting so freaking many of them in the last 3-4 months, is just ridiculous.  She has a new $2000 dress so often that it's like it no longer shocks as it used to that she's wearing a dress that, for the average person, is presumably 1/2 to 1/3 of their monthly salary!

If it were a beautiful handmade/finished bespoke evening gown, go for it.  But yet another polka dot mass produced ill-fitting dress is too much.

And she may rewear a few dresses occasionally, but she only seems to wear them 3-4 times max. 

I'll be very interested to see the end of year tally for her new clothes this year.  I think it will be

  I... actually liked it. 

I was at lunch with the familia and saw her on TV at Wimbledon. It does photograph well.

OT. I hate the pink things the model has on her feet and the way she is presenting the dress. Why that posture for such a dress? Sorry. I will just crawl under a rock now

I feel you Rainbow, mules should be banned forever.

Congrats, leatherface!     I always enjoy reading your posts and your perspective!   

Regarding the styling of the model, I never understand why designers present their clothing in such unattractive ways.  Have a look at the Allessandra Rich website for more examples...yikes!! 

I do like that Kate generally wears modest and feminine dresses even if they're not always my style; I think I'd be lest opposed to them if they were a more reasonable price.  If these dresses were the equivalent of $3-400, I'd be a lot more amenable to them!

Thank you Cordelia.

For how much Kate paid for this dress, I could replace my entire wardrobe with brand new items.
