carlota,carlota,carlota! What a wonderful collection! Thank you very much!

I think nobel prize gala 2008's gown is the best!

[Enigma]

many thanks for these wonderful pictures and choices carlota...the princess looked very glamorous in many of these wonderful gowns...I'd vote for the nobel prize gala 2008 gown followed by the two part, black dress embroidered in picture number 9.

Thank you for all wonderful photos. My favourite nobel prize gala 2008 gala gown.

I agree with the other posters. The Nobel Prize Gala gown worn in 2008 is the best of them all. She looked perfect in it.

My second and third choices are the Nobel bright purple and the embroidered red gown.

Great work, putting together this collection – thank you!
Unfortunately, most gowns of Princess Victoria lack both sophistication and a designer’s craftsmanship – many are simply not very well made. Others, especially older ones, are less than flattering, and some just don’t have the inner lining and construction needed for an evening dress to photograph well.
The ‘Edwardian’ style of embroidered corsage top and voluminous skirt with train suits her, but has been repeated eternally by her favorite designer in recent years, Lasse Wallin –with varying success.
For me, the choice is easy as well. The one dress that stands out, fashionable and regal at the same time, executed with expertise and very flattering, is indeed the last one she wore, the Nobel Prize Palace gala gown 2008.
It shows how great CP Victoria can really look.

My favourite is No10,the green dress.It reminds me of the ancient Greek style and the quality of its materials is so much better than the others,which makes it wonderful.I would love to see it in other colours as well

[Boris]

This muted green one is actually # 2 on my 'Best of' list!
With a very large gap following afterwards.

Boris,I respect everything you say.You seem really experienced in fashion.That's why I'm gonna ask you the following question:if you have a closer look at the Nobel prize gala 2008 dress,don't you think that it's not that well tailored?Because I have the impression that it isn't.

How come? I think it's very well tailored...
Underneath the banded layers, there's a perfectly fitted, very tight undergarment with bustier top - the actual dress, so to speak. The bands are sewn on that dress.
It's rather difficult to keep that kind of horizontal banded look fluid when it's cut so close to the body, because it tends to appear somewhat bulky.
But here the fabric is light, the bands are in different pastel shades, and they end up as loose flowing ends in the train at the back - all this helps to make it look light and soft. It's really well made and a good design, I just wish I knew who the designer is.

[iakynthi]

Thanks for the explanation,Boris
It's not that I'm not persuaded,but there's still something with that dress that doesn't let me consider it No1.Let's just say it could be my No2

Thanks for the pictures! She is stunning in the 2008 Nobel Prize gala gown. It also shows off her great figure!

I was so surprised today to see Demi Moor wearing the C.Dior "gala dress" Victoria wore.It wasn't strapless,though.It formed an "X" under the neck and she wore it at the Golden Globes

[emmalisa]

My favourite of this selection: Golden Nobel dress

Apart from these I also liked very much of the gown she wore at the wedding of Prince Joachim and Princess Marie.
