I hate to say it, but Dianaβs dress is my least favorite of all these. Itβs just awful. It really, really is. The sleeves.... And the wrinkles! My mom would be chasing me down the steps with a steamer.

I think Dianaβs dress was very 80s. Like if the 80s threw a royal wedding. Which they did.

CAMILLA, DUCHESS OF CORNWALL AND PRINCE CHARLES (2005) Iβve always loved this headpiece. Same. Itβs amazing.

It bothers me how many of these royal gowns have so many obvious wrinkles. I had a big ballgown too with heavy satin and did not have the wrinkles problem that these royals did with a herd of assistants available on their wedding days.

I think a lot of it is, they shove this gigantic skirt into a car or carriage and then make a very public entrance into the church. Itβs not like theyβre hanging out in a back room getting prepped and steamed right before the walk down the aisle.

I guess, but I donβt know...my dress was bunched into a garment bag until the morning of the wedding and I still didnβt have a wrinkle problem. π€·π»ββοΈ So I donβt know how bad a relatively short ride in a car/carriage would make it. Itβs just unfortunate looking.

PRINCESS HAJAH HAFIZAH SURURUL BOLKIAH AND PENGIRAN HAJI MUHAMMAD RUZAINI (2012) This is incredible. That beading must have weighed a ton! It's like a modest Gatsby/flapper dress and I love it.

It really, really is. The sleeves.... And the wrinkles! My mom would be chasing me down the steps with a steamer. There was an interview with the people who designed and made the dress and they said they didn't think about it wrinkling. They weren't stuffing it in a car in their sewing shoppe. Which, honestly, is incredibly short sighted. They should have thought of that. But it wasn't within Diana's control at that point.

I looked it up because yes, whoa. 18 inches! That's only four inches bigger than.... My calves. (Which I recently measured when buying boots.) Holy shit.
