Victoria looks great in this festive dress!
ردحذفI guess her hosts will love her!
I agree lovely dress fits her well!!!
حذفMalene Birger is a favorite fashion designer of Victoria. This looks fine, should see it in real ...
ردحذفAfter that beautiful beige dress ... well OK, as it is a reception, I could live with it without those puff sleeves. It is a ridiculous design feature for women over 8 years old, adding nothing than distortion.
ردحذفI guess there’s room in fashion for many different styles for many different tastes. Some might find the sleeves “ridiculous”, others like Marlene Birger might find them joyful and celebratory. I think Victoria looks fantastic.
حذفI agree, the dress would be ok without those puffy sleeves.

Hear, hear
حذفI agree about those sleeves. They look silly and exaggerated. The dress would have looked better with plainer sleeves. It already features two colours, a pattern, some shine, an overlay with decorative seams, and two necklines and hemlines. I´d actually be keen to see this very design with various sleeve alternatives. I think it has potential to be stunning. And while we´re at it, playing around with the neckline could also be fun. It´d like to open it up a bit.
حذفJe n aime pas du tout ses manches, à mon goût il manque un maquillage discret avec un peu de rouge à lèvres
ردحذفFroufrou
Ses yeux sont maquillés. Comme beaucoup de jeunes reines et princesses elle n'utilise pas de rouge à lèvres vif. Mais plutôt une couleur nude ou beige, brun....
حذفThe dress design looks like it’s for a little girl, but I think she wears it at well as it can be given the weird design.
ردحذفThe dress is lovely. I'd change de sleeves. It was fashion in the 80s too. I remember I had dresses and blouses with this kind of sleeves.
ردحذفI feel the same, great dress minus the pouffy sleeves. Then I saw the group picture of the lady with the balloon sleeves. These are tame by comparison.
حذفTrés féminîne Victoria autant que la princesse Takamado toujours vêtue avec goût !
ردحذفTakamado seems to be such a warm and joyful lady. I always love seeing pictures of her interacting with others.
حذفPlease, don't be too critical about the sleeves.. Yes an earlier fashion coming back. Yes, lipstick has moved towards more discreet colors.
ردحذفDoesn’t mean it is looks nice.
حذفnot looking nice for whom ? Who decides on that ? Rules established 20 or 30 or more years ago. I am quite pleased Victoria didn't have the dress altered.
حذفIt didn´t look good then and it doesn't now
حذفI think it’s a beautiful dress and the drama of the sleeves is part of it. It’s not meant as a day dress but a statement celebration or party dress and I think Victoria carries it off superbly. As MaryT says, in one of the most iconic comments seen here to date, “who decides” on what nice is or not. That IS fashion, it’s in the eye of the beholder.
حذفI really like the lady's brown outfit (next to Victoria). Nice fit and flows well.
ردحذفI don't, too dark, too strict... and more.
حذفThe thing about big puffy sleeves is, it depends on the dress as awhole and the figure of the person wearing them. Victoria has wide shoulders as you would expect with someone of her height (compare her to Princess Takamodo standing next to her in Photo 7) and these sleeves make her look unbalanced across her top half. Sleeves like this look great on a ballgown where a wide bouffant skirt balances out the width of the sleeves. Lyra
ردحذفAlways lovely to see two of my favorite princesses together. They both always look happy to engage with the public.
ردحذفThose sleeves are so big they need their own zip code!!!
ردحذفFirst, lovely and warm reunion between Victoria and Princess Takamado. Now for fashion. I love Victoria's dress--yes, the sleeves are a bit too poofy but this is a dress designed for an evening event, like a cocktail dress. Victoria looks beautiful--the dress fits like a glove and she's styled it beautifully with neutral shoes and simple jewelry to compete against the elaborate ornamentation of the dress.

Fully agree with your comment!
حذفI like her dress, not a fan of the sleeves.
ردحذفcss
She was doing so well and then this. It's so twee. I much prefer her in classics. This is just bad.
ردحذفCinci
This dress looks wonderful. The dress fits beautifully. I wonder what it would look like with simple sleeves? I love the color of her shoes.
