A ROYAL style expert claims Kate Middleton used a “butt pad” to “make her waist look smaller” in dresses.
Miranda Holder has uploaded a video she shared of the Princess of Wales’ smart style, which is said to have been incorporated into her stunning wedding dress.

In the clip, which has garnered more than 1,900 likes, the fashion expert said: “Hidden lining in Kate’s wedding dress to make her waist look even smaller.
“Sarah Burton at Alexander McQueen is no stranger to making women’s figures look even more amazing than they already are.
“Let’s face it, Kate doesn’t really need any help.
“However, Sarah really understands the importance of proportion and balance in any outfit to make the most of the beautiful figure that wears it.
“With this in mind, Sarah added extra padding around the hips and bottom which only made Kate’s tiny waist look even slimmer in that stunning dress.”
Miranda, who posts under @themirandaholder, added of Kate’s trick: “It’s all about adding volume to certain areas to make other areas of the body look smaller.”
We’ve seen Kate wear a number of stunning ball gowns on red carpets since her wedding to Prince William in 2011.
Kate’s wedding tailor and design were kept under wraps until the big day, and it wasn’t until the royal bride stepped out of her car that the designer was revealed.
The Daily Mail later reported that Sarah explained the effort that went into designing the dress, saying: “We wanted to look to the past but also the future.
“There were a lot of references to the Victorian bodice, the padded hips, the tiny cinched waist, as well as the arts and crafts movement with all the handwork on the lace of the dress, as well as the bustle inside to create the shape of the back of the dress.”
The back of the dress had 58 gazar buttons, and in total the skirt, petticoat and bridal train were a whopping 8 feet 8 inches long.
Workers from the Royal School of Needlework worked on the dress and it was reported that they were initially told it was for a TV costume drama.
The dress cost an estimated £250,000, making it one of the most expensive dresses ever made.
