I repeated Roskilde's post from the previous thread.
I am not a fan of the print but both Fred (with matching tie) and Mary look good.

I think the print is blah, but her hair additions are working well!

Thats not a pretty dress at all. I don't think she looked good, its way too busy print wise though the colors are nice.

Love the dress and think that Mary looks great, it is a very Mary look.

I think those prints are certainly too busy for my personal taste, buth Mary looks good. Those pale colours look good on her, and it is a good idea keeping the rest of the look simple since the dress has so much going on by itself.

I think the dress would be beautiful if it was kept in the pattern it has on the top section. The hem section in particular messes it up, I find.

Yes the print on dress is one of those new popular runway styles that I still haven't gotten my eyes around yet. A tad busy for me but still, both Mary and Fred look charming and well turned out. As always, her make-up clean and lovely.

I think the design - and especially the colors - are great - and would likely buy it myself even though I don't like the center strip. Very attractive overall. (Color coordinated tie very cute - they must use the same dressing room  ).

Agree about the colour coordination and the dress design, both very remarkable and quite interesting! Muhler will no doubt comment on the male/tie selection question with regard to protocol but I myself am struck by the Crown Princess' decision to wear a fabric printed with what look like pictures of fruit trees in bloom. This look makes me think of the new Queen of Spain's beauteous rose dress

The wide pattern in the middle of the dress spoils it for me. If it wasn't there, then I would've given this dress the thumbs up since I love blossom and water scenes. It looks good on Mary though.
