Kate's dress - Stockholm visit

[eloisesparkle]

Your thought please.
I think she normally dresses very well but this looks like her suitcase was lost in transit and somebody in the Palace in Stockholm very kindly offered to run her up a dress from curtains ( a la The Sound of Music ) that they were donating to a charity shop.

I’m not a fan of the dress per se but I do quite like that it’s very different and not some boring body con shift dress. It looks beautiful material and I bet it feels really nice to wear.

[donners312]

Gee whizz thats awful!

[Charismam]

it's a change!

[BuzzKillington]

It's hideous!

The colour, the style, the pattern - I can't think of a redeeming feature.

[MistyMinge]

Ooh good god no. That dress is going to come back to haunt her for many years to come. The material might have been ok if were less of it.

[JaneEyre70]

It is very different for Kate - she's the Queen of the black dress for evening do's. I can't decide if it's glorious or vile tbh!

[BroccoliOnTheFloor]

I thought it was in Gone with the wind that Scarlett O'Hara makes a dress out of curtains? Is there another one in The sound of music?

[ScarfAndGlassesgirl]

It's a horrendous dress but kudos to her for wandering off her tried and tested route

[Thebluedog]

Oh dear that’s the worst thing I think I’ve ever seen her wear. She’s normally so timeless and classy

[halfwitpicker]

Bloody awful.

[Mulberrysilk]

I think it could look well on the right person but it doesn't suit her.

[MinervaMermaid]

BrocolliOnTheFloor Maria makes the Von Trapp children play clothes out of her old bedroom curtains that are being replaced even though lots of "wear" left in them

[PeasAndHarmony]

Erdem design some stunning dresses

but this wasn't one of them.

Absolutely vile, what was she thinking!

[Tiddlywinks63]

Looks like a cross between a dressing gown and one of M&S' latest efforts ☹️
Definitely an unfortunate choice.

[NapQueen]

Its awful but I get the impression shes just not that into clothes so just goes "yep" when things are suggested.

[Mulberrysilk]

Now that I've found my reading glasses I take back my previous comment. It's hideous.

[mumsiedarlingrevolta]

Broccoli both make dress out of curtains.
In SOM Maria makes for Von Trapp children
In GWTW Scarlett Mammy makes them for scarlett to try and seduce rhett
HTH
And I think Kate's dressing while pregnant for all these photographed events inevitably will have her appearing as an extra from Little House on the Prairie...

[MinervaMermaid]

I am just happy to see her in something new and different- it's a bit mad though!! Agree with pp that it is probably very nice to wear - lots of soft silk

[PerspicaciaTick]

I like it, except for the frilly flounce at the bottom.

[LadyWithLapdog]

Sweden you say? Maybe she's channelling Abba in Waterloo.

[ourkidmolly]

I think she looks stunning and the dress is gorgeous.

[rubybleu]

It would look great on someone who suited the colour, which she doesn’t. The dress is wearing her & not the other way around.

[ourkidmolly]

And 7 months pregnant!

[Bostin]

Other than the gold colour I like it. She doesn’t look comfortable in it though. Perhaps it was Plan B

[babyturtles]

What? I think it looks great.
