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."
The fitting of the gown is just as vital as finding the perfect wedding dress.

REPOST: Styling woes to avoid on your wedding day
This article dishes out the common style blunders – from ill-fitting shoes to messy hair – which brides-to-be need to avoid on their big day.
A wedding day comes just once in a lifetime, meaning you have a lot of wedding planning to do to ensure they momentous occasion goes off without a hitch. While you might be worried about seeing your creative wedding ideas shine through, it's just as important to consider your look on the big day. You might think you have your hairstyle, beautiful wedding dresses and makeup all picked out, but there's no way to tell if all of these things will stand up on the wedding day. Luckily, a few been there, done that brides recently discussed what they would have changed on their day in terms of style, so you won't have to face the same challenges.
Cute (uncomfortable) shoes
Sure, that pair of sky high stilettos might look fabulous with your gown, but if your feet start aching and throbbing within five minutes of wearing them - you need to put them back, one bride shared with Huffington Post. Even though you will likely slip into flats or flip flops at the reception, it's just as important to feel comfortable as you make your way down the aisle at the ceremony. Let's face it - you won't want your biggest memory of the event to be your sore feet.
According to It's a Bride's Life, there are a few styles you might want to look into as they tend to offer the most support. Sling backs are a great option as they leave little change of heel rubbing, while the strap could help keep you balanced throughout the long day. Picking up items like heel liners can also make wearing higher-than-normal heels more comfortable.

You might be crazy about that custom ball gown you tried on, but before saying yes to the dress, you might want to consider your wedding date and how well you tolerate being hot. For example, if you've been looking at garden wedding venues for spring or summer, it may not be the best idea to opt for a heavy gown as you'll likely start sweating in a flash. Instead, you could consider a lighter option, or look into getting two dresses - the one you're crazy about and a shorter reception gown - to have your cake and eat it too.

Gorgeous soft curls are a common trend for bridal looks, but if you're the type of girl who likes to throw her hair up as soon as it gets hot, a fully down look might not be the way to go. Instead, you could decide to go for a half-up style that will keep your locks out of your face, or even a more dramatic updo to ring in your new life.

Wedding gown trends for Spring 2013
Spring paints the picture of blooming flowers, and signals the start of the wedding season. Couples planning their wedding this spring can get some wedding gown ideas from The Knot:
1. Sheer overlays
Sheer fabrics are light and airy, making them the perfect reflection of the spring season. This season's bridal runways featured gowns with sheer overlays, giving the dress some shape and silhouette.
2. Soft peplum skirts
Wedding gowns that feature peplum skirts accentuate the waist, and give the illusion of an hourglass figure. Brides magazine says that the secret to nailing this trend is in “finding the right proportion, be it oversize and asymmetrical, sleek and simple, or cropped and airy.”
3. Lace tattoos
Designers are making a new trend in lace wedding gowns by crafting lace tattoos, strategically placed on the sleeves, back, or torso to look like the brides’ second skin.
4. Convertible dresses
Convertible wedding gowns are fun and functional. They can be worn as a two-in-one dress for the wedding ceremony and reception. "This dress is perfect for a bride who doesn't plan on leaving the dance floor but also doesn't want to bother with a time-consuming costume change," notes this Huff Post Weddings article.
5. Sleeves
Taking inspiration from the wedding dress of Kate Middleton, wedding gowns with sleeves look sophisticated and royal. This type of style is making a comeback because it looks delicate, playful, ethereal, glamorous, and romantic.

Bold and beautiful: Colorful wedding gowns
The wedding gown is perhaps one of the best representations of a woman’s personal style. That is why many brides-to-be take a lot of time searching for the dress. They want a gown that will make them look and feel stunning as they exchange vows with the man of their dreams—a perfect dress for a perfect day.
In their search for the ultimate dress, most brides end up with the traditional long, all-white gown. Styles would vary of course, depending on the bride’s taste but as most style experts note, most would keep the gown very traditional.
But there are some brides who would defy tradition and opt for a dress that is unconventional for many; for example, choosing a colored gown over the traditional white. When Jessica Biel married Justin Timberlake last October, she joined a handful of celebrities who went for the blushing bridal look. Mrs. Timberlake’s cotton candy-colored Giambattista Valli dress featured light pink floral motifs and ruffles with a long veil decorated with pearls.
If a pink gown is not modern enough for some brides, then perhaps a splash of lavender would do, like some of the dresses featured during the New York International Bridal Fashion Week. This includes the purple ombre dress with feathers by Kelly Faetanini.
But if a bride really wants to make a statement, then the gown for her would be the highlighter-yellow tulle ball gown by Max Chaoul Coutoure or the red masterpiece by Yumi Katsura. Both gowns are truly showstoppers.
