This is the 1st evening gala gown worn by Camilla since she married the Prince of Wales and became HRH the Duchess of Cornwall. It was worn to a gala on May 16, 2005.

Others (judging from GRMB) seem to love this dress, but I think it's a desaster... the top's fabric looks like some old couch's upholstery while the skirt resembles polyester curtains, falling in awkward pleats - no good craftmanship here - and the color is less than flattering for Camilla. I'm aware that for some reason people suddenly seem to love just about everything about her these days, and I think her daywear looks great for the most part, but this is a terrible choice for her first evening gown as Duchess. I guess her very busy stylist took a day off.

ok...i hate that "hat" here....well...maybe u'll say the "hat" fits her cuz it's almost as big as her hair...but....looks weird...

[HMQueenElizabethII]

I'm not a fan of that hat,i've just woken up at 4 o'clock in the morning and when is saw the hat,i did not feel sleepy anymore!LOL.I do not think that hat suitable to be at Garter.But i think the Duchess seems so busy with the new hat at Trooping the Colour on Saturday,a new hat today,and what will she wear at Royal Ascot?It's the time of "Duchess of Cornwall's Style" coming.

I think Camilla might make this one of her signature hat styles like the Countess of Wessex has done with her a-symetrical, tall, feathered hats she wears all the time.
