    Jolis imprimés de ces chemises traditionnelles ; celui d'Aiko est particulièrement à mon goût !

    The fabrics of the blouses on the women suit them very well. You see that in the closeups. However putting a belt around the blouses - in my eyes - takes away from the loveliness of the blouse and cuts the look (in a fair attempt to make them a little more formal for the photos no doubt). For this reason I think the Emperor has it right, leaving his lovely shirt loose.
