    Pretty in pink.
    I like this dress better when I thought it was a skirt and blouse. Finally some espadrilles, and they look lovely with this look.

  2. Quelle merveilleuse allure dans cette couleur rose ; ravie qu'elle porte des espadrilles compensées ; je remarque que ses boucles d'oreilles lui conviennent beaucoup mieux que la première fois de son séjour ; élégantes ses lunettes de soleil écaille !

  3. I also like this dress. I think they deserve a rest .... they surely did a good job.

    Beautiful. Second best dress.

  6. Lovely! Catherine's gotten a bit of sun on this trip and this shade of pink is perfect for her. Its probably perfect on her no matter what. I like that she chosen to wear espadrilles--they a great combo for this style dress. I would like to see her wear this again and try a belt--the picture of the model with a belt looks wonderful (not a black belt though--that's a color combo with this dress that I don't like).

  8. I don´t like this at all. In fact, I find it quite awful.
    The colour is all Barbie and looks kitschy; the material looks like a cheap polyester tablecloth, the style is an unpleasant 80s flashback. I don´t get the shoe choice either. They look clunky and clash with the dress in every way.

    1. As usual I don't mind an 80s flashback when fitting, that time wasn't so bad and it is trendy.

  9. Dress is okay, it's a bit too long and a something of an anti climax after the superb outfits we've seen until now.

    Cute and spring like but maybe short sleeves for the climate would be better.
    She's got to have been roasting in all the long sleeve dresses she's worn all week.

    In any event, the color is great on her.

    1. Perfect dress for a tropical climate. Light and loose fitting. The sleeves are a three quarter length and look as though they could be rolled up.
      For me the only negative is the colour. Not a great fan of candy pink.
      I agree with @Marie, she must have been roasting in those dresses that came out of her London wardrobe.

    Ugh. The dropwaist on this dress is atrocious. Not a flattering dress and the fabric looks cheap. Michelle

  12. I don't like drop waist dresses and this is no different. I do like this dress much better on the model with a belt, looks quite lovely.

    Kate has been looking great in all her outfits - gorgeous in some - under the Caribbean tour, IMO .... and we have seen what a natural beauty she really is with less make up. /MaLou 🌻

    I feel the dress is lovely, the waist is just something different than she's worn before, the shoes look nice with the climate and the dress. Both William and Catherine have done a great job, as have their support staff in making this tour a success in representing each country and bringing in more tourism dollars to help combat the loss of income each country faced with horrible weather events, and lack of tourism. I have been in many of these countries, they are like every country in the world, there are portions where people are better off financially, and portions where there is poverty and need. Each country did a wonderful job giving and overall portrait of each country.

  15. The shoes are for heavy for this light dress. I do not like the dress color either. If it were knee lenght it woul'd look much better. I don't understand why she is wearing those long dresses all the time. She doesn't look more professional, just older.
    I hope they can rest now, they both look very tired. Their schedule has been too tight.

    I quite like this dress on the DoC; this time I don't mind about its length, because of the espadrilles and the wide, pleated skirt which doesn't emphasize her height and slender figure too much The pink colour is just soft enough to avoid a Barbie vibe.

  18. Non mi sembra vita bassa anzi, ha un gioco di stoffa che in realtà sembra sia una gonna con dentro la camicia. A me non dispiace, ma i miei preferiti sono quelli svasati in fondo tipo quello giallo.

  19. The length of her dresses are made to prevent them from her being exposed; she does a lot of stooping so she doesn’t have to worry about embarrassment.

    The dress is not bad. However in another color khaki or beige and in cotton it would be so much better with the wedges and the sunglasses.
    Now the wedges clash with the color and style of the dress. The clutch clash with the wedges too. Why can't she wear a normal handbag during the day and leave the clutches for receptions and dinners in the evening.
    About the length of the sleeves : it occur to me that the people on the different islands wear long sleeves too on several occasions. In this case she visited an Evangelical church, perhaps she just respected the customs of the church.
    About the dress itself : the dropwaist is vintage and it is coming back more and more since the summer of 2021. When I was young it was recommended to women with a high natural waist. Believe it or not it worked. But not for Catherine since she has a rather low natural waist.
    I cannot like her pink dress the way she wears it.
    During this visit I saw it on several occasions that Catherine does not always find the right combination between her shoes, handbags(clutches), jewelry and her outfits.

  21. I find nothing wrong with this dress, or her shoes. The color is very complimentary to her complexion. Although she doesn't require a style that will give the effect of lowering her waist line, the dropped waist accentuates her slender frame. Perhaps, as some of your have mentioned, a slender belt might improve the overall look. The shoes seem perfect to me for an island event in which she will be trudging across sand and/or pavement. The thick sole and wedged heels will protect her from the heat. I think the tour was wonderful. We were able to see and comment on each day's event, and offer our opinions. I have no doubts that the Queen is very proud of the Duke and Duchess's performance.

    Catherine looks very pretty in pink. This dress has more loose fit but I think this style and color looks very flattering on her and gives her lovely hour-glass figure. I definitely hope to see this dress again at some summer event.
    Her hair are simply gorgeous, so thick and shiny. Not sign of frizz in sight. I wish my hair were as well behaving in humid and hot temperatures :D
