I did not see the dress in 2010, but I love the lace. It is my favorite part, apart from the color which is divine. That burgundy makes me think of apples.

Now having seen a photo of the 2010 version, the lace is a definite improvement. Much better.

Love the lace, love the color. Not so sure about the fabric itself, it seems to wrinkle a bit too much for my tastes. That being said, she looks fabulous. Great hair, makeup and jewels.

It looks like the same dress and lace was added. I think the dress was altered. I love it. The lace makes it look more elegant and appropriate.

Marie's dress looks very nice and the colour is lovely, although I want to like the lace, but can't.

i very much prefer the dress with the lace, which makes it a more formal kind of dress, however, i don't think this kind of red would be my choice as it can quickly look trashy in my opinion. maybe a deeper red would work best, like a bordeaux kind of red.

The fabric of the dress is cheap, even if adding the lace is an improvement. I'm never really sold on a red dress and this is no exception. We've seen her do much better.

I'm afraid that is the vibe I get too. But she really did look lovely and wonderful hairstyle.

LOVE the lace addition. It adds elegance to the dress, to me.
A different --- i.e., less inexpensive-looking --- fabric would've worked better in BOTH cases, IMHO.
And I agree that a not-so-hot-and-bright, darker red would've been even nicer, even though Marie DOES carry off THAT shade of red just fine.
But overall, as is, I'll take THIS look over 2010, any day.

Princess Marie looked better in hers though!!!!

Love the shawl! Against the black, it really pops!

I don't think the red lace dress is the same as the dress from 2010, but I like both. Brave of Marie to wear such a bold colour!
