REPOST: Pippa Middleton on her famous royal wedding bridesmaid dress: ‘It fitted a little too well’

NY Daily News got the deets on Pippa Middleton’s famous Alexander McQueen dress that showed off her enviable posterior at the royal wedding of Prince William to her sister Kate Middleton at Westminster Abbey in 2011. 

Pippa Middleton has a sense of humor about the bridesmaid dress that made her a star.
She discussed the famous gown she wore as her sister Kate's maid of honor at the 2011 royal wedding while speaking at a London dinner for the group Women in Advertising and Communications Tuesday night, according to E! Online.

"As I have found out, recognition has its upside, its downside, and — you may say — its backside," Middleton said, referring to wearing the ivory Alexander McQueen dress at Kate and William's April 2011 nuptials.

The younger Middleton sister, 30, became an instant celebrity after donning the curve-hugging gown, which showed off her posterior to very flattering effect.

Middleton said that while she was "glad it fitted" her at the time of the wedding, she jokingly added that "in retrospect, it fitted a little too well."

According to The Mirror, Middleton was also candid about feeling hurt by the poor sales for her 2012 party planning book "Celebrate," which only sold 18,000 copies.

"She talked about the royal wedding and her career since," a source told The Mirror. "She came across as really grateful for the opportunities but also talked about the pitfalls of her position."
