WHERE THE MEG WENT WRONG PLUS MORE ROYAL WEDDING GOWNS

Meghan Markle's wedding dress was a huge disappointment. Let's compare it to some other famous or Royal wedding gowns that also took a simplistic, more modern approach to their dresses and see if the Meg's dress could have been saved. Today we are taking a look at more Royal (& others) Wedding Gowns, and how we could have fixed the Meg's wedding dress, saving it from the halls of disappointing wedding gown history.
Including Crown Princess Victoria of Sweden, Crown Princess Mary of Denmark, Princess Angela of Liechtenstein, Princess Margriet of the Netherlands*, and even the UK's Princess Margaret as well as Nicola Peltz-Beckham. These dresses all have a bit in common with the Meg's but the differences in execution arguably made them much more successful.
What could have fixed the Meg's big disappointment of a dress? Well, let's see what you all think! I've tallied up the polls on Meghan Markle's wedding dress to see by vote which options really could have helped her look be more successful that day.

As an American, I was embarrassed by MM. She was smug and unwilling to accept her role in the RF and I was fearful she would bring Harry down…and I was right. I feel he’s been led astray since his marriage and I don’t see him smile as he used to. She is like Donald Trump; an isolationist who will cause chaos and misery to all. I do hope that Harry will mend fences with the RF because he will need them when his life with MM falls apart.

The worst things about the Mdress was its blazing whiteness and absurdly long train. That she was married in a church at all (divorcee) was cherry on top wrong. Then we get into messy hair, lack of family, guests she didn't know etcetcetc. She may as well have worn red flags.

As obsessed as she was with Harry's mother, she probably wanted an extra long veil to emulate Diana's train. While the embroidery on the veil was beautiful, it did nothing to tie it to her dress. Again, her messy hair drives me nuts every time I see it. She was given a multi-million dollar wedding, and made such a stink about needing the tiara for a hair style try out, and still looked like she needed the use of a comb. Geez, lady, comb your hair!

[@kate2create738]

The thing with the lass isn’t just that it was emulating Catherine’s dress, but Catherine’s dress helped end the strapless basic bridal gowns that everyone was stuck with for 5+ years with that lace. I think that what people had seen in Markle and had hoped for was that she’d be her own trend setter and make her own impressions with the fashion industry. Markle’s issue is that she doesn’t have the knowledge required to be fashion savvy to understand that not everything she puts on will automatically look like gold. In fact, she seems to deny that her body is unique in that a lot of attire she is limited to, and it would have been more impactful if she considered what looked best on her versus chasing fashion and thinking it’s a one fits all situation. She could have had that role in embracing that her body isn’t the common body shape of most ladies and ventured into finding what works with her body shape. It would have been more ideal to see a different silhouette, while she was delicate with her frame, her bone structure though is not what the trumpet/mermaid skirt is made for. She need either a sheath or an A line at least. Understand how off the shoulders work, it tends to work best with those who do have not wide shoulders. And she should not have shown up wearing white and bringing the veil, period. The Church of England already made arrangements to allow her as a divorce to marry in the church despite its long history of tensions to those who have divorced, she should have at least understood it was not helpful to act like she could break more rules. She could have gone for the off white cream or even better a blush (not that dingy dress that South Park even used to reference her as a character.)

If anyone remembers Harry's mom Dianas dress was also wrinkled, but that was a mistake according to the designers, they have said they did not realize how much that type of fabric would wrinkle, which I find to be sloppy on their part since they are fashion designers, I would have thought they would have checked considering they are creating a wedding gown that the whole world was going to see. The Megs dress being wrinkly was on purpose.

[@robinaddis-vaughn7271]

I believe that they said that they didn't take into account the size of her father, the size of the coach, and the size of the dress along with the fabric. It all contributed to how wrinkled it was when she arrived at the church. But, I agree, they should have known better; however, they were young designers at the time and had to go to great lengths to keep the dress a secret. They learned.

That dress of Megsie's was horrible. Who TF wears a wedding dress that doesn't fit and is incredibly wrinkled?

[@irairod5160]

Although not professionally, I'm a bit of a sewist and would like to add my 2 cents: Markle's dress needed the 2 vertical curved seams seen on Princess Mary's gown. That would've taken care of all the bunching, gapping, and wrinkling under the bust, near the armpits, and above the waist. I am sure, SURE! that it was suggested to her, because they are basic dressmaking techniques. Think of a corset, and how it has several angled panels pieced together to conform to the body. If you don't use seams correctly, you end up with something that looks like the wrapper on a chocolate bar, which is exactly what happened with her dress. I also wonder if the design was supposed to have been rendered in a DIFFERENT fabric, and Markle refused to take advice, because if the original idea was to make a gown that was not pieced at the waist, the fabric needed to be one with more weight, a softer hand, and perhaps even some stretch. I look and look at it and imagine a client who does not trust the expertise of her designer and gown maker. (Ha! I continued watching and you mentioned the stiffness of the fabric.)

[@smcarney]

Yes, she needed those princess seams. And they could have been continued fully down the gown and not been interrupted at the waist. It would have made her dress elevated and elegant. I am a tailor and I do this for a living

A reason, other than MM's character, the late QEII may have been displeased at the wedding is b/c in the absence of 'buffer' provided by a dress train the veil simply dragged on the ground. It was embroidered with the symbolic flowers of each Commonwealth country so in effect MM dragged the Commonwealth in the dirt behind her. MM is so vulgar. As for the power of good fabric the Duchess of Gloucester shows us how it's done! Also, Lady Sarah Chatto, Margaret's daughter - She doesn't stand out yet her outfits are quietly 'perfect'. Loved Margaret's veil. Any attempt at elegance re MM's wedding was ruined by her hair. Trashy!

[@diannes3804]

Knowing the Meg as we now do, it’s obvious there was no way she was going to go off white, cream, or rose-colored dress. Not only was she in all white, but she chose a harsh, bright white.

And can we talk about the fit? Looks like she pulled it off a rack at a bridal boutique an hour before her wedding. It did NOT fit her. And finishing off the look, her hair.

She had a cathedral length veil in a much smaller church (St George’s chapel in Windsor is impressive but it’s not Westminster of St Paul’s). She also had the floral emblems of the commonwealth nations embroidered into it as if she was representing the commonwealth which is rich from someone who (indirectly) called the commonwealth ‘Empire 2.0’.

For Meghan’s wedding dress: I have always thought that a v-neckline would be a great improvement, as well as better fitting/tailoring through the bodice. Tailored seams and/or darts would have been slimming and flattered her figure. The boatneck and non-fitting bodice emphasized her naturally broad shoulders and lack of a waistline. Better tailoring would highlight the good aspects of her figure, and would reduce wrinkles as well. A softer white color, rather than the stark white she chose, would have actually photographed better, and the wrinkles would have showed up less. Meghan spent years working in front of the camera, so I would have thought she would know that, but apparently not… I have always been surprised that Meghan did not choose a British designer for her wedding dress. I thought choosing Givenchy was a bad PR move. She could have found a hip, little-known, up-and-coming British designer, to underscore that she was a new, cool royal or whatever. It would have brought fantastic attention to the British fashion industry and could have become a darling of British design. But she passed over that opportunity.

[@meredithingram9384]

Megsy’s dress was a new style: business matrimonial. No lace or delicacy because she’s a woman of power! But throw on a veil and the longest train ever to beat out other brides in those categories. Sarcasm here😝

[@cyclopse0011]

The mannequin wearing Meghan's wedding dress looks amazing. Perfect fit.

[@eileencollins2536]

Did she choose the stark white to draw attention to her colouring maybe? I personally think she would have looked so much better with an off-white dress. Even the dress she wore would have looked better in off-white.

[@soniavadnjal7553]

All the wedding dresses featured were better than Markle's. The comparisons made the faults in her dress really stand out. It was too white, too stiff, the train disproportionately long and had nothing in common with the gown, while the sleeves would have looked better if they were lace, or shorter. The effect as a whole was one of stiffness, as if she wore cardboard, and was kind of "closed-up".

[@suzybabyyeah]

The bright white and the stiffness looked like neoprene to me.

[@chloehall4270]

A creamy ultra pale pink would have been lovely, different and flattering. She needed an entirely different style but any style should have been tailored to perfection.

The Queen's wedding dress, designed by Norman Hartnell, 1947. The dress is made from ivory silk and decorated with crystals and 10,000 seed pearls. In 1947 Britain was still subject to rationing, so The Queen, then Princess Elizabeth, collected clothing coupons to pay for the dress. some of the soon-to-be Queen's young admirers heard about the rationing, they tried to send their own coupons to Elizabeth. However, transferring coupons was illegal, they were all returned with a thank you note and the princess paid for her gown herself. Queen Elizabeth II was the greatest monarch ever seen.

[@Katrina-mi2gm]

Princess Mary entire bridal ensemble incorporated personal, deeply meaningful elements. Not only it shows the importance of family, but also how much though went into creating something so special. In comparison, Meghan's feels like generic, grab off the rack because I am in a hurry, devoid of any personality and cohesion collection.

[@karenward267]

Thd biggest problem I saw with Meghan’s dress was that it was poorly fitting. I know Meghan was very demanding of the designer a c kept changing her mind, but given how much the dress cost KC3, I expected so much more. And don’t get me started on a twice divorcée wearing a veil for a church wedding.

[@MolonLabe-gt7yb]

And I’m betting you were just stunning! And, part of that would have been bc you felt comfortable in that dress, bc of that decision, and you didn’t spend any time wondering if people were talking about you wearing a bright white dress. Good for you!!

Hey Beebs! I loved this video, I love wedding dresses although I cringe at pictures of my own. It was very 80s plus it was what my Mama wanted, not me. Southern brides often try to please everyone else and I was no exception. Mama realized it later and apologized profusely. And, I was in a marriage for far too many years. I have no children and I have no idea what to do with my dress. Any suggestions or thoughts? Meghan, dear Lord, where to begin? What fabric was that dress made from? It honestly looked like something my cousins and I would put together playing dress up when we had two pieces of fabric and pinned them together at the shoulders. In fact, our "dresses" would have looked better because we used sheets or tablecloths, they flowed better than that dress. I remember thinking when she arrived and that veil kept coming and coming, surely she's not going to copy Princess Diana's train via the veil. I think that's exactly what she was looking to do, she wanted it to be compared to Princess Diana and there's no comparison (for a host of reasons). I wanted Harry and Meghan to work, I thought that the 4 of them could have a great impact on bringing issues to the forefront. But, looking back on it, she never wanted anyone to share her spotlight. I think that's why she was perfectly happy throwing her father under the bus. She entered the church ALONE. Spotlight on HER. She wasn't walked down the aisle by a man. Spotlight on HER. I doubt she wanted then Prince Charles to walk her down the aisle at all but only acquiesced because she knew that would push Queen Elizabeth II too far. Meghan was just playing a role, SHE was the star, and Harry was her co-star. If we can learn anything from her ridiculously rigid dress is that it mirrors her personality. Rigid, plain, and shallow. Thanks for your great video! Robin

[@llamasugar5478]

I didn’t like my dress at all, but it was the best I could do. If I had it to do again, I’d have spent the money on a beautiful dress that I could wear more often. I donated mine to a charity that would resell it.

@@robinaddis-vaughn7271there is a company,not sure of the name but something like Angel babies,if you google you should be able to find it. It’s for stillborn babies or babies that pass after a few days and out of wedding dresses they make little gowns like christening gowns for the baby to be buried in. So,that might be something that you may want to donate your dress to.

[@smcarney]

Donate it to charity, or take apart the fabric and use it for something else. I have seen them used for baptism gowns for nieces and nephews, burial dresses or such for stillborn babies, just about anything you can imagine

[@laurabailey1054]

My mum was married in 1960 and her dress was custom made by my father’s mother. My grandmother switched what was supposed to be satin to lace and she got the lace sent to her from England.

[@ZapgermsNow]

Catherine’s wedding dress was ivory, and it was her first marriage. Meghan should have gone with a darker cream/ sand-colored dress with a different neckline and a much less elaborate veil.

[@MsGuppie2010]

Princess Margaret's daughter, Lady Sarah Chatto, wedding dress was fantastic and beautiful. As was her her daughter in laws dress. Stunning

[@charmaccents6278]

[@user-nz7db1nl6g]

Royal brides have wore a non white wedding dress. According to Vogue in "The Royal Bride Who Wore PINK" by Hamish Bowles Princess Alice Duchess of Gloucester in 1935 wore a blush-hued dress for her wedding.

[@annmariewalker3879]

Princess Alice was going to wear a white gown but her father died shortly before the wedding and it was decided that blush was acceptable as a “mourning” color.

[@katarsett9384]

IMO, Meghan's dress wasn't fitted because she must have smuggled it into Britain. The late Queen must have told her not to marry in white. She simply must have. The late Queen knew how Christian Northern Europeans would react. They married in a Christian church. So Megsy must have been told not to wear white, so she hid the dress, and that made it very difficult for her to make fittings. I guess Meghan went to Paris to take her measurements and that the dress was fully sewn at Givenchy in Paris and arrived at London just before the wedding! She did this to piss the late Queen off. She smugged at HMTLQ when she walked by her and she didn't curtsey. She did all of this on purpose! She was out to cause trouble! So I don't want to discuss what she should have done with the dress! Meghan knew exactly what reaction she wanted! And she stirred up trouble! We were gaslighted! To see all the other dresses was fantastic! Thank you, Beebs! ❤!

[@azillliasmith2734]

Teared up a bit when you said crown princess Mary had her mams wedding ring sewn into the lining of the dress near her heart ❤

[@susanhoneycutt5610]

I’ve always wondered if she wore stark white to match Harry’s military belt? I still think her dress choice was a fail. Why she seems to think those man width shoulders are her best boxy feature to highlight instead of blend and balance is beyond me.

[@battmom56crl]

I've got to admit I found something off with MM on the engagement video,but I was still excited to watch the wedding,I waited excited to see the wedding gown,my jaw dropped when she stepped out of the car,I was gobsmacked,I actually spoke out loud saying are you kidding,it was a huge disappointment,in fact the whole wedding for me just got more and more ridiculous,it was awful. Also I must be the only person in the world that thought Diana's dress was a monstrosity,it was so over the top,ugh just awful,sorry just my opinion we all have different tastes

I was too little to remember Princess Margaret's wedding but it's been one of my favorites of all the royal ladies' dresses. It is so sad that the Poltimore tiara was sold at auction but the family couldn't pay the taxes on it after her death. I think MM should have worn a cream or blush dress to indicate her prior marriage. That veil was ludicrous. She was probably trying to imitate Princess Diana's veil and train.

[@rnapproved]

OMG, thank you for mentioning the hideous shoes on Nicola. Truly awful choice. I think they ruin the whole look.

great video Beebs - Meghan never planned to follow any rules as evident in how awful the wedding dress came out. It shows how alas she had no respect for the Queen and the veil was absolutely wrong on all levels. If she had listened to anyone it could have looked very different. I know when I first saw the wedding I just was not impressed with the dress and how unpolished she looked for being a royal bride.

Hi Beeb’s; I agree with you Meghan’s dress was very boring I honestly don’t know why she would wear white and the veil was ridiculous considering she had been married before. I think the whole wedding was way too extravagant all Meghan knows how to is spend money and waist it

MM's veil always reminds me of the dance in An American in Paris where they use a really long scarf that Leslie Caron sort of weaves through in the wind and i find myself waiting for a big gust like that to wrap that veil around her like a mummy.
