I love the proportion of white to black and love the belt, but the top and bottom of the dress don't match. The high collar and close cut lead one to expect a classic sheath dress that Letizia does so well but, as we have seen from her recent day and eveningwear, Letizia is in love with skirts.
The skirt of the dress looked amazing with the black and white perfectly balanced and beautifully accessorised with black patent court shoes. However, the ghastly, nasty, silver zipper looks like fingernails on a chalkboard sounds!
Then there was the obvious mismatch in the length of the skirt and the petticoats with the two-inch dropoff looking a bit silly when she moved. Great heavens, it isn't hard to get it together. But the designer went the cheap and easy way and instead of providing a petticoat a la 1950's, she wore a crinoline type 1850's thing,
I had two beautiful underskirts when I was young. One was white silk over an abundance of fine, white net and the other was just yards and yards and yards of multi-coloured, edged fine net. Now if I could get my skirt lengths to fit to the ends of the petticoats, so too could that very expensive couturier.
Surprisingly I felt Letizia's earrings were too large and bulky for the dress and the updo need to be higher and smoother to reflect the smooth surfaces of the dress and of course to showcase the statement neckline.
