Favorite Wedding Dresses
They are:
Queen Fabiola - the fur was a wonderful touch Princess Margaret - the gown was made of simple, but luscious material highlighting her tiara and face. Princess Grace - perfection in lace More recently Archduchess Constanza in 1994 due to the line of the skirt. :)

Best:
1. Lady Sarah Chatto. Wow:) 2. Mette-Marit. Her dress seemed to float along the ground. I appreciate her understated style. 3. Sarah, Duchess of York. It was a great 80's dress and she looked gorgeous Worst: 1. Princess Diana. Even as a teen I knew that was bad and I mean really bad  2. Kalina of Bulgaria. She looked scary and for the record I think she is an attractive woman. 3. Letizia. I am sorry to say it but she was just swamped in that dress.

Best:
1) CP Mette-Marit. I loved the crepe fabric, so unusual, and the dress was simple, well fitting, classic, and elegant, things which suit MM perfectly 2) Princess Claire of Belgium. Well, really, this was a tie, because I loved her dress too, but I thought MM overall looked better. I loved the lace sleeves. 3) Queen Margrethe. Her dress was just utterly timeless. Her wedding was what, thirty-some years ago, and I would wear her dress now. 4) Queen Elizabeth II of England. Her dress just suited her, and she seemed to just radiate happiness in it. On the Fence: 1) Letizia, Princess of Asturias. Loved the train, liked the gown, but it swallowed her up- she didn't wear the dress, the dress wore her. 2) Mary of Denmark. She just didn't look as beautiful as she usually does in gala wear on her wedding day. Mary herself was lovely and very happy looking,but she almost looked like someone else, but a very pretty someone else. Considering the dress alone, I'm on the fence 3) Princess Diana. I thought the dress was very fairy tale, very soft, kind of like her (just meaning she seemed nice, sweet, things like that). But it was rather puffy, and the wrinkles were a definate negative. The Worst: 1) Marie-Chantal of Greece. Overdone, not well matched to her facial features and body, and leaning towards being downright flashy and pretentious, which, IMO, is a lot like the woman herself. 2) As much as I hate to do this... Maria-Theresa of Luxemburg. She was such a beauty then (she still is rather pretty), and so in love, but, well, the dress... the fur edging reminded me of a Santa suit. But it did fit well. 3) Sibilla of Luxembourg. This one doesn't pain me so much. The dress I thought looked lovely. And then I saw the full length view. The pillowy hem looks like a curtain or a mattress. Yuck. Please don't ruin what would normally be a lovely dress with a hem that belongs on a bed skirt or a petticoat. 4) Stephanie of Monaco. She just looked trashy in that mini-skirt dress. Kind of what I thought Britney Spears would wear when she married Kevin Federline. Actually, if you switch the mini-dress Stephanie wore with the lovely Monique Lhuillier gown Britney wore, we would get something a lot more suitable for each woman. A more elegant gown for the Princess of Monaco, and well..... I'm not going to go there. 5)Laura Ponte. Maybe she was trying a new theme: Top ten ways to make a very striking woman look unattractive. 6) (cause I just can't stop myself!!!!) (maybe I should go work with Joan Rivers...hmm... anybody know her number?) Astrid of Belgium. 'Cause the woman looks like she's wearing marshmellows for sleeves. Since I really should stop this, because I have my final exam this morning at 9:45, and I really should keep studying, I'll end with the All-time Worst Ever, Gag me, I'll go to my wedding in the others from the worst dressed list please: (this one can't be ranked) Mabel of the Netherlands. The bows! The bows! They've taken on a life of their own! They're starting to strangle me!!!! They just keep getting bigger!!!!! AHHHHHHHH!!!!!!! They just keep coming back!!! AAAHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!! no seriously, good night all. I'm off to study.

So many choices (on both sides of the issue
 ) but here are mine:Best: Princess Grace Duchess of Kent Mette-Marit Maxima Fabiola Worst: Mabel Diana (a heartbreaker because I loved her dearly but the dress was not the most flattering to her) Countess of Wessex Princess Margaret (similar to Diana, a case of too much dress and not enough bride)

I thought Princess Claire's dress was beautiful. The lace sleeves with a little bit of the shoulders revealed looked great on Claire. The only thing I didn't like was the headpiece (I refuse to call it a tiara
). But the dress itself was gorgeous. Is it weird that I liked Mary's wedding dress sketch better than the actual dress? In the sketch you could see the beautiful detail of the sleeves and stuff much better.

I never saw the sketch for Mary's dress but the skirt of the dress itself reminded me of a tablecloth. A really really nice tablecloth but still a tablecloth.
It was something about the way it draped in the front.Okay, I forgot one other favorite: Princess Anne's dress from 1973. It had sort of a medieval look and suited her so well. She looked so lovely!:)

A replica dress of CP Mary's was made by a bridal shop here in Perth and it was absolutely stunning close up.

Thank you so much for the links to the sketches of Mary's dress. The sketches are beautiful. Maybe the dress should have been made of a lighter weight material to give the skirt a less heavy appearance. The bodice of Mary's dress is just stunning though.:)
