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

@Eaumyword

I always think of Maireas as Lady Maireas Grin
What! Not Queen Maireas? Wink

I think we should all curtsey when we log on or off this thread...👑

😂
I only ever post on here whilst wearing full evening wear, long satin gloves and a selection of diamonds… so - curtseying as I arrive is just fine 😉

Maireas · 18/01/2022 16:54

I'm glad to see standards are being maintained. The very idea of anyone logging on here wearing leggings or jammies gives me the vapours. 🧐

Which would you prefer to be :
A Countess
A Marchioness
or
A Duchess ?

Eaumyword · 18/01/2022 18:03

I'd settle for nothing less than Princess and I like the sound of being CPE(aumyword)

Maireas · 18/01/2022 18:05

CPE you are, @Eaumyword!
I like the sound of Marchioness, but I think Duchess is higher?
I think the Marchioness of Milford Haven, is a very attractive sounding title!

KillingMeDeftly · 18/01/2022 18:39

I'd settle for an Honourable or Lady title. I always think the Ladies Amelia/Rose/Davina Windsor etc get the best deal. They can live fairly anonymously with all the perks of money and privilege, plus they get invited to the fun royal stuff like weddings, the Trooping balcony and Christmas lunch at Sandringham!

Maireas · 18/01/2022 18:49

Good points, Deftly!
I think Lady Rose Gilman is a case in point - plus a gorgeous wedding tiara!

Ooh I love that tiara. She's very like her mother isn't she?

ESGdance · 18/01/2022 20:27

@Maireas

Diana altered this dress, which has a similar vibe. The alteration is far more flattering.
Does the slim line dress have a vertical front seam - or is it just the photo quality?
Maireas · 18/01/2022 20:29

Yes, it does look like a seam, doesn't it?

RomainingCalm · 18/01/2022 20:55

Just checking in here complete with tiara, ball gown and extremely wobbly curtsy.

frugalkitty · 18/01/2022 21:22

I'll be a Duchess please, and I'd like a castle for good measure.

frugalkitty · 18/01/2022 21:26

Actually, I'm going to take that one step further....if it's ok with you ladies, I'll take an island, the Isle of Wight will do nicely, which includes carisbrooke castle and Osbourne house. And I can pop home on the ferry to check on my mum. It goes without saying that I'll declare myself In Charge of said island, and you are all welcome anytime and can booze cruise over from the mainland to suit. Tiaras optional.

gluenotsoup · 18/01/2022 21:53

I’m on the way! Tiaras are never optional.

I’ll be a Duchess please, preferably of Skye.

Maireas · 18/01/2022 22:40

Right! That's all our holidays sorted!
Off to the Isles of Wight and Skye!
We'll look fab on the ferry in our tiaras.

I've often thought that when we say anything negative about what a royal is wearing, we should describe what we are wearing at that moment. Smile

There's a picture in this link that shows the dress worn by Sofia, and it looks as though the skirt is a darker green.

My problem with the dress as worn by Letty is that the green is too bright it looks like she's had it replaced, possibly because she's taller.

Justkeeppedaling · 19/01/2022 08:52

The top half looks a different colour too I'm that pic. And Sofia's has a bow at the waist. Leti's doesn't.
Maybe it's not the actual dress, but a copy.

gluenotsoup · 19/01/2022 08:58

The original is so pretty, I love the muted green.
Just for Seneca - I am currently wearing black trousers and black and white Dalmatian print top - off to work😂

ChaosContinues · 19/01/2022 09:05

Found you!

Kate's been out and about today at the Foundling Museum. Love the coat.
