What Did 'Grandma Middleton' Wear?

Americans are as excited about the birth of the Royal Baby, as the British are! What fun seeing all the media photos.

Kate was photographed with her new baby wearing a Jenny Packham original maternity frock, in cornflower blue, polka-dotted, crepe de chine, with pintucks at the neckline, cap sleeves, a self-belt, and a slight Empire waist.   She looks radiant, and motherhood suits her to a tea  tee!

But I couldn't help noticing what 'Grandma Middleton' wore to see her first-born grandchild... a tea dress by Irish designer, Orla Kiely.

A Spring/Summer 2012 Silk Crepe, "Dancing Girls" tea dress in pebble, with a price tag of $516 U.S. currency.  Isn't it lovely?  A UK fashion site defined a tea dress as "A dress that goes on easily for tea or dinner."

Carole Middleton leaving St. Mary's Hospital 'dancing' with joy - at least inwardly!  I wonder if she went home to celebrate over a cup of tea, since the British are said to commemorate any and every occasion over tea!  Blessings to all on the birth of the new Prince of Cambridge.

What name are you rooting for?  I'm rooting for Francis, the male form of 'Grandma Diana's' middle name [as well as the middle name of the Prince's paternal grandfather]; Spenser; or William, after his daddy.  Time will tell!
