Always when I watch pictures of the past royal ladies court-trains/coats, I wonder for what depend their colours? Sometimes they are f.ex. red or blue. Did queens/empresses choosing them themself or maybe courts choosed them?
Thanks:) |

The Red Dress-Coat that Queen Margrethe wore to CP Frederik's wedding was amazing and had a slight train to it. It was very very regal - I haven't seen a similar style but Queen Beatrix seems to like dresses with bustles at the back which I suppose could be similar.

Would you be able to post that pic please Layla? I can't remember seeing Beatrix in a 'train'. I think trains look wonderful - I'm not sure about colours. Margrethe's was more pinky than red I think but red would make sense.

Ah! It's sort of like a small cape. It looks as if it should carry on down into a train - a nice outfit all in all though.

What about the gold cape that Margrethe wore, it is on the Danish official site. Im not sure if its a cape or train or whatever, but it was very regal.

Thats right Australian. QMII wore it on her State Visit to Japan - it's one of her busier frocks!
I like it but it's a bit over the top. I think that was a cape rather than a train. |

I seen one of Queen Beatrix on the website of a press agency, but I couldn't download it.
It was a grey or green looking dress (there were two pictures, in different lighting, so I can't be sure of the color), and she wore it to a pre-wedding dinner, or party at the wedding of the Prince of Asturias last year. Maybe you've heard of it?

Thats the one! I thought it made her look a little tubby because it cut her in two - but it was still nice.
Thanks for the link! :) |

I can't seem to find the thread, but in a thread called 'official photographs' there's a great one of Princess Alexandra. I think the dress is green on the bottom part.
