And to think that there was not so much as a piece of lace or any other sort of embelishment on it !! Last edited by Elsa M.; 07-25-2006 at 11:11 AM.

I absolutely loved Letizia's dress! I personally wouldn't choose it but I just can't figure out why I like it!
I also liked the dresses of Princess Anne and Princess Claire. Finally, the then Princess Elizabeth of Great Britain. There was something about her dress... I didn't like Princess Mary's though:o. I think, as aready mentioned, it was the material used.

I agree. Princess Elizabeth's (HM The Queen) dress was in a class of its own - as befits the heir to the British throne. The rich elaborate embroidery on the entire dress and the delicate ones on her veil and train is truly magnificient. But the style itself was so simple. A true classic that does not look dated even now.

I liked the wedding dresses of all the British Royal Brides with the exception of Diana. I liked the bottom of it but I did not like the bodice wth that huge collar and sleeves.
At first glance I did not like the dress of Sophie, Countess of Wessex, but the more I studied it the more I liked it. The beading on that dress was magnificent. Perhaps this heavy beading is the reason it did not appear to fit her too well.

I always loved CP Mary's dress. It's very elegant and simple; something I would wear on my wedding day. I've never been one for lace, ruffles and all that frou-frou, so something that sleek is right up my alley.

Favorite/Best
A tie for first place 1.Lady Sarah Armstrong Chatto-well fit,pretty style,simple ,elegant 1.CP Mette-Marit-simple,elegant,nice flow Princess Margaret-just stunning Brigitte Van Dures The Duchess of Glouster-regal,elegant,simple Sophie of Wessex -the fit could have neen better but I loved the simplicity to it.Modern and tradional at the same time. Least Favorite/Worst Mabel-what can I say it's all been said. Diana of Wales-too puffy and over done but they were all like that back then.My cousin married two weeks later and she had the puffy sleeves on her gown. Marie Chantal of Greece-it was a mess Alexandra of Denmark-too much dress,too little bride too puffed out. Last edited by Penny Lane; 10-23-2006 at 02:43 AM.

Okay, I step up and do the brave thing: I confess I liked Mabel's dress. I know it wasn't something most people would wear, and I'm not sure if even Mabel was the right person to wear it, but i liked it. It was done by Viktor & Rolfe, and anyone who knows the designers and their style will see it was perfectly done by them, it expressed everything they stand for - individuality, out-of-the-box kind of thinking, humour. Mabel knew they are known for their unique style when she picked them to design her dress, and I salute her for that. For once, it was a dress that wasn't just one more version of the same tired pattern but something entirely different. Quite possibly, of all the royal dresses that would be the one I would wear did I have the money for it.

My favourite wedding dresses are:
Crown Princess Mary of Denmark - total elegance personified Princess Mary of Teck when she married the future King George V - stylish and she looked beautiful Sarah Ferguson to Andrew Duke of York....... One other mention is our current queen......she looked fantastic after all the years of war! Hugs Mrsmerlin

Letizia's wedding dress embroidery was beautiful also the veil but i thought she couldve obtained for a better dress cut.
MM's dress was very simple and i guess thats her personality, she isnt all about the embroidery and id have to respect her opinion. It was a great dress. simple. elegent and the cut was superb. she looked great or more like a true princess in a fairytale. Maximas dresses cut was again great, liked the lace inserting on the sides. I thought if the front part was open and if she had worn a necklace she wouldve looked like a dream come true princess. also, liked the lace on the veil on the sides, that was a great idea.

Here's an update after looking them over again
Best in no special order Maria Teresa of Luxumberg -simple an unadorned unusal for the 80's stll a little puffed out but a beautiflu gown all the same. Princess Aimee of the Netherlands -so simple and one of the few veils I reall like the same can be said for Tatjana of Lechtestein. Princess Badiya of Jordan -love the cut of her dress and the simple elegance of it. Victoria of de Burbon Dos sillias-simply stunning Lady Davina Windsor-I like the off white color and the sheerness around the neck.Understated but lovely Prncess Anita of The Netherlands-not big on lace but this one works for me same can be sid for Margarita Vargas Santaella Alexia of Greece-Simple sophistication -love it. Worst Kalina of Bulgeria-scary dress  Annette of the Netherlands-and she has such a pretty face  Princess Noor of Jordan-too much lace

BEST:
Lady Sarah Chatto Mette Marit of Norway Maxima of the Netherlands Grace of Monaco Letizia and Cristina of Spain NOT MY FAVOURITE(I think all brides look lovely on their wedding day) Mary of Denmark-the sleeves made her look like a milkmaid Marie Chantal of Greece-far too heavy for such a petitie frame Diana-way too much of everything, but she pulled it off Princess Caroline to Phillipe Junot- very country, much too sedate. But she looked beautiful.
