Yeah, she made a point with that dress: here I am and I am going to stay whether you like it or not

It all depends on the individual.
My mom wore them when I was younger and she never hid her stomach.
Very true, Humera. My cousin recently got married in Lahore and alot of her friends/family wore saris and short skimpy blouses are very much the fashion, they have been for years. As for sleeveless blouses they've been going since the 60's.

My mother's saris all reveal a bit of stomach, as do the few I own. I've always found it odd that people are so willing to accept the "flesh-flashing" that goes along with a sri but not otherwise.

And of course Letizia's red gown at the Danish wedding which has already been posted previously.

I agree with everyone that Letizia's red dress at the Danish Royal Wedding is magnificent. It will stand the test of time and will be a classic in 20 years time.

No, Irene was born in June 2005, so Cristina got pregnant in September/October 2004.

Victoria's dress taste and overall style has certainly improved over the years. The red dress that englandprincess posted looks amazing on Victoria. The lilac halter dress Victoria wore in Australia also looked fabulous on her. The color and cut made her seem younger and very happy. I will try to hunt for a couple of pictures when I have the time.

For me P Letizi'a red dress is without competition. Everything came together for that special day. Her official entry to her first major royal event, just a week away from her own wedding to the heir to a throne, glowing like only a bride to be can do, a "drop dead" dress, fabulous figure, wonderful hair and make-up, and the best looking escort around. The total of it all came out absolutely perfect.

For me this is Camilla`s best robe. She wore it in Egypt last month.
