    Great dress and I am so glad she removed the black part below the waist with its button and also one of the others.

    I really like this dress, with the small polka dot and the gold buttons on the solid bands of fabric. Good choice to remove the two lower buttons seen on the model; Mary’s version looks better. The neutral shoes and clutch look nice.

  3. Élégante robe à pois déjà portée dont la jupe doit avoir un joli mouvement quand elle marche ; j’aurais bien vu des chaussures blanches comme sur le mannequin !

    I agree with the other comments about the modification of the dress. Accessorized with the bracelet with pearls and loose hair, she looks great. I really like this feminine style.

    I also think the lady in purple looks fantastic. Great dress that suits her very much, but also nice hairstyle and elegant shoes.

    I have always loved this dress. Again, Queen Mary looks gorgeous as always in this dress. Her choice of the neutral accessories do a great job of highlighting dress.

    Don't like the dress or that bracelet and ring, but the presentation to inspiring educators is good.

    QM has had this dress in her closet for sometime. This dress is the epitome of the term ‘timeless’. It looks as elegant on her today as it did the first time she wore it.
    Lowri.

    I may be alone in this opinion: I don’t like Prada and don’t understand how it commands the prices it does. This dress, to me, would be much more attractive without the strange black “belt” added vertically, horizontally and at the neck. The black binding on the edge of the sleeve, and the same on the neckline would be sufficient. Otherwise to me it’s looking like a military harness added over the lovely dress. Mary looks beautiful but the dress for me is most strange.

      I agree. The enormous buttons seem like an afterthought; next to the tiny dainty print, their bulk looks heavy and out of place. The black bands in stiff leather(?) also look too wide and heavy next to floaty chiffon. To me they both detract from the elegance of this otherwise lovely classic dress. Lyra

  12. Mary looks beautiful in this classic black and white polka dot dress. It's made more modern with the swirl design on the skirt. The length is perfect (pay attention Windsor ladies). I agree with others that removing that lower button below the waist is a great improvement.

    Great looking dress, it seems a small change was made on the front border of the dress. Nice to see her at this event.

  14. I love this dress, so glad to see the rewear. The style and design of the Queen's dress is better than the style of the model, the modification works so much better. The skirt of the dress is so feminine, it moves so beautifully, wonderful swish. I love the pearl jewellery choices, especially love her bracelet. The beige accessories were the perfect choice. Her hair looks soft and natural. I love this length, its not too long, and works well up style. Beautiful presentation.

  15. Très jolie robe que j'aurais portée avec des escarpins blancs. Et une pochette colorée mais pas nécessairement rose

    Zijn we net een beetje van de magere fotomodellen af beginnen de royals zichzelf te vermageren en op tieners te lijken meg allerlei kunstgrepen. Slecht signaal
