Did you notice that the blue dress had a square neckline and shoulder rolls - mighthave made QEI proud. Yes it might have looked better in a smaller print or a solid color or even a stronger color; it seemed a bad copy of a Pizarro or Monet.
I really liked the pink dress's yoke, spagetti straps woven from collar to shoulder point, very 1940s. I didn't like her hat - for a hat - but I liked it as a piece of art to sit on a stand. Maybe if it hadn't been raked so severely it might have looked better. I think that the UK has been under the thumb of Phillip Treacy for far too long. It was he who designed the sisters' hats and Camilla's hat plus several of the others at the wedding.
