Do over! Remember when you were little and something didn't go right and you yelled "do over"! And then you redid it? 
Or was that just me? Hey all. I was reading some threads where people were dissapointed in her style. I saw it and I was like 
. It was there. So....just for a different spin...what would you do differently? And I realize the economy...but before we cry modesty...daily mail.uk estimates her dress between $40,000 Euros and $200,000 so um....modesty is not her middle name at least not in price (they said the seamstresses had to wash their hands every ten minutes, etc and it was hand made)... just to make a regular looking dress.
With that in mind spare no expense what other options are out there? Sure it was hard for me to find some as I would custom make something really amazing (at least I think so in my head
)...but we have to work with what we see. What would you choose? Not trashing hers, just a do over (or for those thinking of long sleeves other options out there). I'm sure Lucia will chime in she's always so fashionable. Love to hear from others too. This is our chance to play dress up.
I thought about some of the things others mentioned such as:
1) you have to wear sleeves in church
2) there has to be royal attire "look"
3) She has to have some modesty.
So I spent thirty minutes (ah what nyquil and a fever will do to a person. Because of my cold I actually took off today, so that I actually have more time on my hands lol!) looking through some threads and I found some fun dresses. What say you?
What can you find? What do you think of my finds? Which are thumbs up and thumbs down. I was thinking princess/royal/ sleeves because I mean I kept reading everyone saying things like"what else could she do? She did the best she could with the requirements". Others were like put up or shut up and no one did. So I'm doing it and even though it's not my style here it goes...feel free to booo, thumbs up or thumbs down (I don't care I'm in a nyquil haze...perhaps I'll change my mind tomorrow when I come to my senses
)

Do Over option contenders!

2)
add illusion sleeves and she's good to go
Ellie Saab just change it to white
3)
For wow appeal. Look at that train that they're holding behind her....

Again just imagine this in a pure white or white with spun silver:

you could add long sleeves under this one and it would still turn out just as nice and illusion netting in the back so that it’s not so risqué but still shows the silhouette and the rest the same:

the cowl neck effect of this dress. So unusual, so pretty. 
(eeta: Kate would have had to have her hair up for this to work properly)
But I did like these that could be appropriate for her.
