She looks nice. There is nothing wrong with the dress. The length complaints are because her legs are not comely and she looks dumpy. Longer would have been better. The shawl is a waste.
Are these new shoes?

The coat looks like it is made of burlap.
I think she looks marvelous and really suits both the colour and the style of her ensemble. I love the scarf and especially like her hat with it's natty (not so little) feather! How utterly serendipidous it is that the Nova Scotia tartan looks so well on her and is a nice touch when visiting Nova Scotia.
Her entire outfit is lovely, from the textured gloves to the hat (minus the feather).
The color suits her and I especially like the way she wears the scarf different ways.
Does anyone else think the tartan embellishments are removable?

The ensembles with tartan are the best pieces in Camilla's,Duchess of Cornwall, wardrobe. She looks absolutely splendid. I like richness of the blue shade and do not mind an odd looking feather on the hat and unflattering bronzed (tanned?) makeup.
The Duchess of Cornwall looked very regal, stately and charming. I was very impressed seeing her on BBC today.
Agreed, though the DM chose a pip of a picture to open their story. http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2014/06/04/article-2648369-1E75E15E00000578-827_964x669.jpg
Cue music from 1001 Dalmations, Cruella DeVille.
Camilla looked great but I wish her Royal Victorian Order sash fitted better. I think it hangs too much. Have to take a page out of Princess Margaret's book and make sure those sashes fit well. Catherine is rather slim so her future Order sash will need to be fitted or it will hang down her leg.
To defend the Duchess of Cornwall: Princess Margaret usually wore no sash at all at the State Opening of Parliament...

I'm talking about when Princess Margaret wore her Victorian Order sash on other occasions. It just looks better when the Orders fit better.
Now that was funny, lol. It's not going to look right if it's not fitted though. The Queen was known to wear her sashes well fitted too. I'm surprised she hasn't advised Camilla on wearing the sash. Then again, Here Majesty's ladies-n-waiting seem to be wearing theirs the same way, very loose and hanging.
