You know when you are really excited about something and when if finally comes it is a let down. That was tonight's evening reception for the GB Team with the Royals. While we waited for pictures, we were told she was wearing Temperley and I was so excited, because I am usually a big fan. Alice Temperley is whimsical and feminine, interesting while remaining classic. When I saw the dress, though, I was disappointed. It has so many great features and lots of Temperley trade marks, but all together is just is not right. The hem along the bottom, the straps showing through in the back. What is that, her tank top showing through? Come on, too sloppy.
I liked the sleeves a lot, I think if the flowers had been a little more delicate it would have helped. It should be more sophisticated, it is looking too much like that ghastly peasant skirt craze that briefly revived in the US five years ago or so. Major no.
As I say, lots of elements I could have loved if there weren't so many clashing parts. The crepe-like reminded me of a grandma at a funeral. I know a lot of people loved it, but honestly, but I just can't. It is too bad, because with just a few alterations it could have been great. I was definitely disappointed. Oh well, the good news is Kate is rarely off her game, so we are sure to have success next time!
Kate was looking fabulous in her make-up and hair department, though, so there are always silver linings.
