In America these used.to be called church dresses. Its awful. Ugly fabric. All she needs is combat boots and.its 1990!!!!!haha. Did I just date myself!!

I never heard that expression "church dress". Is that because of the high slit in skirt or open deep front?
 
The dress looks very "frumpy" - it is very shapeless. No lines to the main dress, and the sleeves - the shape doesn't suit the rest of the frock. The fabric is beautiful and so much more could have been done with it. I'm afraid Mary's hairstyle is very plain also. A terrible review I know (sorry Mary) but this isn't one of my favourites. Perhaps it could be altered into something more modern. :sad:

I've never heard that expression, either. Surely a slit up the front and a keyhole neckline would eliminate wearing to church. Smile. To me, it reminds me of the shapeless florals of the 60's.

F&M tonight participates in gala celebration at Hotel d'Angleterre on the occasion of the hotel's 260 year anniversary, Copenhagen.

Mary in long black Danish Ole Yde dress from 2013, long earrings and soft curly hair:

Nice dress even not my favourite. Mary herself looks absolutely beautiful.

The upper half of the dress is absolutely divine - and with the satin fabric of the dress underneath it being patterned, I think that should have been carried to the hem of the frock and the tiered tulle left off. Mary as usual looked radiant thou.

What a stunning dress. I love it. :)

Love this, especially the white/gold shawl. :flowers:
 
Although Mary could make a sack look great I really don't like this outfit.

It reminds me of bedclothes for some reason - a long white nightie with gold dressing robe over the top.

Shame, as the gold goes with her hair beautifully.
 
Beautiful , love the gold and white
as always stunning

I don't like it .. IMO it does nothing for her
 
I love this look, very soft and feminine. Also classy for someone in her early or mid forties.
 
A miss look.
The white dress looks lovely and if worn alone with a nice long necklace chain, it would've been a winner look. The cape/coat looks like it belongs to a nightgown set. There is nothing about it that makes it ideal to walk out into public in. Maybe if it had embellishments etc to make it look dressier.
 
That robe thing would be a great wrap. Thats all.
 
Such a different look for her, I'm not a fan at all. looks too sack like. Love her hair and makeup though.
 
Must be hard to find different clothes that look good 100% of the time. I would just love to go through her closet. She must have many that are at present being re-figured by seamstress to look different or more figure flattering. Otherwise the cost of all these outfit would be staggering.
 
This is not not one of Mary's best looks, but she still manages to pull it off with her usual grace. She is a wonder...

The shawl is incredibly exquisite but I dislike it with the dress. Maybe it wold have worked with a strapless dress.
 
I have a feeling the ensemble may not have photographed very well.
Perhaps it was ok for a mid-summer evening :flowers:
 
I actually thought when I first saw it that CP Mary might be in the early stages of pregnancy .... so .... I guess not a great look.

I think Mary looks wonderful and elegant - at first I didn't like the outfit that much, but I do now. The colours suit her well and I love her hair.

The shawl is indeed exquisite. :flowers: Amazing, in fact. Would love to see it from the back. In the right lighting.

I have a feeling the ensemble may not have photographed very well.

Exactly so. It got washed out. :flowers: This is one stunning ensemble (IMO only. I love it!).

Perhaps it was ok for a mid-summer evening. :flowers:

It was perfect for a mid-summer's evening. Light and fresh. Pitch perfect. :flowers:

I actually thought when I first saw it that CP Mary might be in the early stages of pregnancy .... so .... I guess not a great look.

Same here. Thought flashed through my mind. ;)
