I don't have children so I don't understand this either. Is it to save money? Avoid fighting by the kids over clothes? I'm glad there was some individuality in the girls' dresses for the Inaugeration even if you couldn't tell at first glance.

I found that cute, too. Especially as the new Princess of Orange had one with a decollete fashioned a bit like that like a grown-up, while the others had more childlike designs.

I used to dress my boys a lot in matching clothing, or in same shirts but different colors. To me, they looked equally well dressed, and it seemed like a neater presentation. And it was fun. Now that they are older I don't do it - different personalities and they'd never want to look the same.
I thought the girls' dresses beautiful, esp. the blue today. The different styles reflected the different levels of maturity, which was nice. I esp. liked Alexia's with the bow in front.

Very nice indeed the three As in their blue dresses. Amalia has grown up a lot. She´s a young lady now.A nice way to mark differences in the dressses but matching the colour.

Normally I don't like to see children dressed alike but today I thought it very appropriate for the occasion plus, no one stood out, to me, they all looked equal and like their parents. I wonder, although Amalia is now Princess of Orange, if it wasn't done so that all three A's felt the same part of the ceremony? Just an opinion.....

I loved the girls' dresses for the Inauguration. All in the same shade but enough difference with the styles to make them their own. Even the color similarities with their mother and grandmother was a unifying theme.

I loved the girls' yellow dresses - they were beautiful and adorable, particularly with the hairband.
I wasn't a fan of the blue dresses, mainly because of their long length. Was the length a requirement? Would knee length have been inappropriate?

I think knee length would looked weird considering everyone else was in court dress. But tea length seems to have been comfortable for them to wear, and the girls didn't looked stressed by their dresses.

These dresses are adorable! . . . I loved the fact that each one had a slightly different design at the neckline, perhaphs to accomodate their age differences. And the royal blue looked beautiful on all of them. I also liked their length since it made it easier for them to walk, rather than having floor length dresses. Beautiful princesses! they raised the bar today.

But today Amalia, Alexia and Ariane looked like three sunrays on the balcony in Amsterdam. |
I agree with you, the Three Princesses did look like sunrays/sunflowers on the balcony. They're very cute, and I really like the colour of their dresses and their little headbands. Thank you for posting.

The Dutch Princesses looked quite lovely. The yellow dresses were a nice choice, and the headbands with bows were quite stylish. The blue gowns were nice as well. The only complaint I had was in regards to the bow on the front of Alexia's dress. It just didn't mesh in my eyes. The outfits for today looked nice and casual, but elegant too. All three are such attractive little girls, and their parents dress them pretty well.

I loved the Dutch princesses outfits and hairstyles and shoes.
I thought the matching yellow dresses with rolled collars and headbands was perfect.
The blue dresses with different necklines was just the right touch. Also, the way the dresses were the same length when they stood up, for the photos was a masterful touch. For that to work, Amalia would necessarily have to have a longer gown, than the next sister, etc. The length and fullness of the blue dresses was perfect for girls too, it allowed them freedom to move under their dresses and no room for errors when sitting as a short dress can. Brilliant, thoughtful touches.
The capes were a finishing touch although I wouldnt have chosen camel.
