Wow! Crown Princess Mary is incredible to not look pear-shaped while wearing a black blouse. Well done, Mary! In fact, I also think that she has the best wardrobe of all the young royal ladies; she doesn't have enough jewellery though.
I don't like it at all. Even though the dress is a proper evening dress, I am so over lace. The purple shoes, not sure I like the twist. Unflattering because ageing hairdo for Mary and those earrings are too much and overpowering for the lace dress.
