Sorry not a fan of the flutter sleeves. Seems juvenile to me 
That said the skirt is beautiful. I love the style and the print on her. The accessories look fantastic as well.

The overall effect is of someone important but not pretentious, the ballerina length of the skirt is pure femininity and the blouse with its scooped neck allowed her to bend over and talk to the children without any unseemly gaping at the neck. The hairstyle also allowed her to bend over and look at the kids and their work without a whole heap of hair flopping down and obscuring her face and producing a nervous but ultimately futile habit of tucking of the hair behind her ears!
It was interesting to compare her ensemble with her previous engagement aimed at a totally different age group and purpose. Her blue dress was elegant but not fussy, discreet but not boring and allowed her to move around and crouch down, spending more one on one time with the guests. An altogether more serious and restrained 'look' for an altogether more serious occasion and a more princessy look for the school opening. |
very well stated. Agree completely

I love the floral skirt and white top. The flutter sleeves are perfect. They keep the top from being too boring without distracting from the skirt.

Mary looks very nice. I like that dress on her and I like how she accessorized it with navy pumps and a navy clutch.

mary's dress reminded me so much of this dress of princess charlene (by vilshenko) that i immediately checked on their website. it seems that mary took a leaf out of charlene's style book and got herself the same one. i loved it on charlene so i am glad to see another royal with it. it's such a beautiful, feminine dress.
the dress is the Jerry floral-print silk crepe de chine dress:
https://www.net-a-porter.com/us/en/p...de-chine-dress
mary isn't the first royal who uses another dress by vilshenko previously worn by another royal: mette marit and claire of luxembourg also shared one vilshenko dress:
http://www.seher.no/imgfly/941/529/s...?itok=XMvHNQOZ
-----
i wonder how mary acquired the dress - perhaps her or her stylist saw a picture of charlene rocking that dress and said 'i want one too!'? i don't blame her/her stylist - the dress is gorgeous!

Mary has had great success on this tour
I love the black dress, the detail in the skirt from the first day.
The red dress and the white with floral I am not a huge fan of either pattern. But the cut and style of both dresses are fantastic on Mary, and the colors as well. I especially love the red. The floral pattern on the white is growing on me.
I like today's look. I have liked it in the past and happy to see again
Her hair and accessories in all the looks have really added to it

I love that dress, but I really hate that coat. She's got a couple like that and I just don't care for the style.
