Duchess Kate has nothing on me! I was happy to be able to wear the dress Kate Middleton wore for her engagement announcement (different color, though). And I was thrilled the size 10 (UK 14) fit fine. I am a 10-12 and also got the UK 16 for backup. I wore a body shaper for smoothing underneath the fine silk, it worked great. (I worried the bodice would not provide enough coverage for my 38D chest, but it was great, just one piece of double-sided tape did the trick.) The dress was a bit long on me as I am short. And I wasn't 100% in love with the muted forest green color but overall it was very elegant and I got a lot of compliments.
