I'm not a fan of the black and white dress. It reminds me of a fancy dressing gown. Kind of disappointed.

Well it is a deconsecrated church and it was an entirely secular ceremony.

The neckline is what ruined the look, too revealing for church but even worse,
droopy.

The building may be called a church but it has long been deconsecrated, it is no longer a religious building and the service was a secular state event without participation of clergy.

Agree, hair, hat & dress too casual for the occasion. The sash clashes with the dress. The neckline is too low. She got it right at the dinner.

The sash to me matches the blue flowers in the dress.

Yes, it does, but even if it didn't, a sash can't match every single outfit...
It just has to be there.

I hope she wears the dress on a different occasion where she does not need a sash so that I can decide whether I like it more in a different setting.

Church event? Nieuwe Kerk no longer functions as a church and no priests were present.

It wasn't particularly revealing IMO; and anyway, it wasn't as if everyone dressed as if they were going to church (cf. the slit in Victoria's dress - http://royalhats.files.wordpress.com...victoria-1.jpg)

I'm sure I am in the minority, but I'm really loving this dress. The style is flattering and fits Mary beautifully. I don't feel it is cut too low in the front, but that's only my opinion. I like the print and am especially loving the balloon sleeves. Mary looks great in everything, and has wonderful style. This was definitely my favorite of all the gowns worn by the princesses.

I love it too. The dress is different and the aplique is beatiful.

As expected, Lalla Salma always goes 1st, I wonder if she will win this time again.

Mary some few days ago in Copenhagen.
Always love to see Mary in her spare time, I adore her private and non official style as much as her official style.

I quite like the dress, but don't think it was a good choice for the occasion. Like the combination of the dress with the pink of the shoes, gloves and clutch. The neckline is a little too low. Don't like the headpiece.

I like the casual outfit.
