Guide dog Piper, approaching his tenth birthday, will retire later this month. Piper and owner Mary were invited to Bagshot Park, the home of the Duchess of Edinburgh, together with outgoing Guide Dogs CEO Tom Wright and new CEO Andrew Lennox.
On the occasion of Piper’s retirement after so many years of loyal service, the Duchess presented a special ‘putting my paws up’ dog tag to Piper. The Duchess of Edinburgh is patron of the Guide Dogs UK Charity.
ETRO printed cotton poplin midi dress
Jolie robe imprimée mais le volant raccourci d'une bonne dizaine de centimètres serait plus flatteur pour la silhouette de Sophie surtout pour l'équilibrer avec ses chaussures que je vois compensées !
ReplyDeleteNice to see the Duchess of Edinburgh. The dress is lovely, fits perfectly and the longer length is good in this case.
ReplyDeleteI really like this outfit. It fits the duchess very well.
ReplyDeleteEtro can sometimes be really lovely, this dress has a beautiful pattern and is definitely lovely on Sophie, except the dust catcher in the nether portions of it. Shoes are nice too. (GM)
ReplyDeleteI' m pretty sure we have seen this lovely dress on Sophie before.
ReplyDeletePerhaps in the Caribbean.
I love Etro dresses because the pattern is nearly always a bit different.
Very nice dress that fits well and has a sleek hipline. I usually don't like flounces but this one is ok. The v-neck fits well with the pattern.

The brand ETRO seems to be successful among the aristocrats.
ReplyDeleteThere was a time Princess Laurentien of the Netherlands wore regularly a dress by that brand and nobody liked her in it.
Duchess Sophie's dress is not bad but is missing a bit of color. It is also too long, but that's usual the case with Sophie.
For a 10 year old dog he is still beautiful and it looks like the owner took always good care of him. Rose
The Italian fashion brand ETRO has been established for over 50 years.
DeleteIt became well known for its quality products and refined prints.
Thirty odd years ago, Gerolamo Etro introduced the Paisley pattern, enhanced in all its forms and colour variations. Over the years its name has grown to become synonymous with fashion. Its clients come from all around the world.
J apprécie beaucoup Sophie elle est charmante

The V-neck has had a piece of material inserted to make the neckline slightly higher.
ReplyDeleteHappy retirement to Piper. Time to put your feet up (sorry paws) and have a good rest. Job well done - bravo.
ReplyDeleteNice dress. css
ReplyDeleteSophie looks wonderful--pretty dress for her and very nice for the occasion. Congratulations to Piper on a job well done!

I may be in the minority, but this dress paired with white sandals reads elderly to me. Cute dog!
ReplyDeleteI am not a fan of the tiers at the hemline, but the dress looks nice, the Duchess looks lovely. Well done to Piper
