lol, that's one big shouldered dress, but I've seen her in biggest outfits in the *shudders* 80's, even if the early 90's still had some of that collateral damage

Don't worry I wouldn't wear that things even if someone put a gun in my head!
Thankfully, I've never been a fashion victim

I think that Infanta Elena has a striking ressemblance to one of her ancestors in the Borbon's side: the Queen Maria Luisa de Borbón -Parma, Carlos IV's wife and Godoy lover...Yes; the one who was portrayed by Goya so many times. She even has the same way of smiling...And Froilan and little Victoria are the spitting image of her too...In a nicer way, of course...

Vanesa.

in this pic, the expression on Elena's face certainly reminds me of Victoria Federica as a baby! :)

Elena has different nose (of course ) and different eye's color!
But she is so elegant as her sister and her mother...
