Details about the dress, and its' construction, from the designer:

I prefer the sophistication of Meghan's dress, by far.
As the wife of the heir, Catherine's dress was expected to meet certain "conventions"/be more conservative, which were met.
Thanks for the article - it was a good read. One thing I did roll my eyes at was when Meghan - like Kate before her - showed the Queen the dress. 'Not for approval' says a Meghan friends - just to include her and have a special moment with the Queen.!! Bull I say - of course it was for approval as I'm sure if HM thought the dress inappropriate it would have been changed somehow. Still I'm sure Meghan had certain criteria given to her to follow in her dress design and as long as she met the criteria then she was good to go.
I liked the dress but didn't love it as I though it too plain and a little unfitted - though that seemed to be the plan from what I gather. The veil was exquisite though and I loved the story behind it as well.
Kate's on the other hand - an absolute masterpiece, regal and sophisticated and just timeless. I loved it and still do - a dress in a million.
And the less said about Diana's the better as I hated it then and still do. It was just ghastly in its hugeness and the material creased so badly and they never fell out - awful.
