Said about Victoria's dress:
Camilla Thulin, fashion designer and expert
- "It's a good one that you have dared to choose one of the Queen's old festive dresses! This is a real couture dress and I'm incredibly pleased with that choice, it's incredibly nice. And it feels so right today to reuse. This is also a vintage dress that is also quite fashionable.
Cia Jansson, editor-in-chief at Elle
- But looking closer to the pictures, it looks like it's lifting a bit from the floor when the crown princess wears it, there is a little 50's feeling.

"I get both goose pumps and tears in my eyes when I see Crown Princess Victoria come in an indescribably beautiful dress by designer Nina Ricci. Yes, you think, that's fine and so, but Vickan is always nice? Well, remember, Mama Queen Silvia was wearing the same dress on Nobel in 1995. Now that Victoria is wearing it again, it will create waves across the world's royal house - recycling in this way has not been trendy if you say so. But now - in 2018 - sustainability and recycling are more trendy than ever, and with role models like Victoria, I suddenly feel that it may be possible to stop the climate crisis in time. Hello Victoria - Your choice of dress is more important than maybe both you and we can understand!"
On 6th December the president of Finland hosted Independence Day reception where the theme was environment and sustainability.
It's great to see that Victoria and minister Alice Bah Kuhnke continued the theme today.
). Victoria's gown is rather clumsy and I agree that the colours are rather wishy washy. The massive bows and general vibe of the dress makes it look like a cheesy children's dressing up princess dress to me as well.
We are such a diverse bunch here and I have to admit initially I didn't like it. However, seeing it in movement made me really love it. The great designers of the past really knew how to make a dress look feminine and Nina Ricci was one that knew how to make her look like a woman.
