  2. This is a very pretty dress, I love the pattern and colors. The navy blue shawl is a nice touch.

      No! Why be mean? Be more creative, kinder or quieter. Seriously…

      I don't really like this colour combination, nor the allover pattern. And I also have a particular dislike for high necks like this. Why cut the neck in the middle without any conceivable attractiveness, I never understood it. Vilshenko was excellent on Mary when she wore this:

      I agree with anon 09:26. I dislike the pattern, the colour combination and the high neck. I never like this kind of neck. A soft polo neck is fine but not this. I am fine with the length on Queen Mary as it is shorter than on the model.

    I wish we had a full view of this dress - it's difficult to judge when it is mostly covered by an awkwardly-placed wrap, in a colour which seems somewhat too dark. Hopefully there will be another opportunity to see it.

    1. Agree. The dress is very pretty and I am sure the shawl is exquisite, but somehow together it does not work.

  7. This is a very beautiful dress. There are flowers, but because the colors are amazing, it doesn't look dull. I could wear it myself as a midi dress or shorter. The dark blue shawl has an amazing color too.

    These last couple of days she has been dressed as a 70 year old grandmother.

    All of Q.Mary's fashion pieces look appropriate for this voyage and related events.
    This dress is no exception.
    Simple, unfussy and still smart.
    I like this " new course" in Mary's clothing style.
    She's just experimenting new fashion options and dimensions, including the
    "maritime"- themed ensembles.
    Well done to her.

      Yes, HM Q Mary’s eyebrows have always been this dark. But that’s their natural color - look at pics of her from her 2004 wedding, for example. What would you like her to do - bleach them??? Some people just naturally have very dark eyebrows.

  11. Jolie robe rehaussée par la touche de couleurs des fleurs ; à mon avis, quelques centimètres en moins conviendraient mieux pour équilibrer le look de Mary !

    On photo N° 4 although it is a bit dark and difficult to see, one can look at a maxi dress which is no maxi dress anymore but a midi dress. Definitely shorter than on the model and a good length for Queen Mary. I like this dress, the blue color is matching QM's hair and there is a good contrast with the red flowers. The neckline is not too high but covers the neck. In the back one can see a bow that closes the dress. I wonder if she let the back of the dress open or had it closed by a seamstress.

    Glad additional photos were added so the length is seen. At first it was a no, but on relooking I do like the dress. Colours are nice, non granny. I find her makeup especially the brows to dark and heavy. She looks lovely and the kings suit fits him well.
