I liked the clutch but the dress was a bit inapropriate for this kind of reception IMO. The perfect occasion ti wear it was indeed A&C' wedding back in July 2011

inappropriate? In what way? Because, let me tell you, far worse than a one shoulder gown has been worn to the Representatives Dinner in the past.

yes, the top part looks lose and frumpy, as does the skirt part. The monaco appearance was superpolished, I don't know what happened to the dress, the fabric looks worn out.

I guess it's her chest that has changed. It does that after having a kid, you know :P

It gives me a summery vibe and I think it was better for a summer wedding dinner as it was in july 2011... It just didn't fit the setting IMO. The fact that it was one shoulder doesn't matter to me

It is the dry cleaning's fault and bad material !
For Mathilde and Maxima , Natan's materials are often frumpy...

JMO.
I like the gown in both instances, though in terms of a prize-worthy photo, the Monaco photo wins hands-down. Photo-shop touch-ups are also possible.  Victoria looks far more vibrant in the Monaco photo - tan helps - which impacts the 'sell' of the clothes. This is a perfect example of the 'sell' factor. To me the gown sits the same on her in both photos.

Or, it stretched; she wore it for Prince Andreas' birthday celebration in June 2013, where we see that it's baggy round the bust, the pleats in the chiffon all over had lost it's tension.

Wow, if her best friend didn't tell her, surely her mother would!

I think she lost weight + her chest area has "relocated" a little since having Estelle. Totally normal, but maybe not pretty in this dress.

I love the colours and they're very 'Victoria', but I'm not a fan of the belt. It looks awkward and clunky with the dress, which is quite flowy and elegant. I think her tiara is alright, but I like it with her hairstyle.

 This is the same dress that Victoria wore on October 22, 2014. But the colour looks so different! It must be the lighting.
