And I liked it a lot. I liked the small scale of the print. As to design, well, it's a patch off a lot of other Camilla dresses. She loves a good pin tuck.
But is was great at :
Remind me to wear a small, neutral print to my next garden show, please!
- Matching Charles: I completely loved how they looked next to one another. Adorbs.
- Matching that elephant - and how serendipitous was it that she found such an excellent tusker to remind her of her Brother! Not to mention that I bet this gets gifted to some worthy child...
- Serving as a backdrop for flowers. Those roses absolutely leapt off the print of her dress which was small and receded enough that the blooms were the focus.
- Keeping her cool on a warm day. I do love the flutter of a light fabric in any small breeze when it is warm.
I think the colour and pattern are fine for summer. I don't subscribe to the view that you should/should not wear a certain colour during a certain season. I say wear what you want, when you want. We all have different tastes and shouldn't be limited by what someone else thinks. The fabric was light and summery and that's what's important, I think.
Camilla has some good wardrobe advisors, methinks. A dress like this photographs extrememly well, as well as flattering her. She reminds me of the Queen. Both women have found what works for them in front of the camera.
I think she must because I don't think she's very into clothes, but she usually looks nice if not always fancy.
Camilla as current Lady of the Isles wore MacDonald Lord of Isles tartan
Thank you for this; I also believe the duchess is an inspiration for all of us of a certain age
