Royal style continues!
Thanks to Deftly for the thread title. Let's hope there's more Gucci and Chanel.....fewer coat dresses..,.

We certainly do, MoP!! Lots of style and plenty of bling, most definitely!

Surely, with the jubilee, there must be plenty of royal dressing-up occasions to be had this year!!

Hurrah! Tiara on, gowned up and ready to party!Grin

Checking in! I liked the top half of Leti's vintage gown but I think she maybe should have had the skirt straightened. Diana was very good at switching up outfits, albeit re-imagining her own togs rather than her mil's

Diana altered this dress, which has a similar vibe. The alteration is far more flattering.

Ooh new thread! Thank you Maireas

The second of Diana's lilac frocks above is one of my very favourites of all her evening dresses, I think it's fab (not so much the original version!)

Imagine if she had done, they would've been minis on her! Grin I've seen her dresses on display at Kensington Palace and compared to HMQ's and Princess Margaret's they look like they belonged to an Amazon!

Thanks for the lovely new thread! Smashing title!

I loved Leti’s whole look. Unexpected combination, you don’t see that colour green any more. That’s what I love about vintage looks.

LadyEloise1 · 18/01/2022 09:47

Thank you for the pronunciation tip, Maireas

Eaumyword · 18/01/2022 13:07

I always think of Maireas as Lady Maireas Grin

Yes, I agree - it's definitely an improvement!
