@Maireas gorgeous aren't they. Princess Di had some gorgeous gowns/evening wear which don't seem to have aged at all.

(Do you think I could also have her white Elvis dress?)

In my head I’m Max on the dance floor but fear the reality is more Willem….

😂

The famous dress she wore whilst dancing with Travolta was also Victor Edelstein, IIRC!

TangledWebOfDeception · 02/02/2023 10:07

Ah just watched the video! Fabulous!!

Please could I have this red dress of Leti's for the Coronation @Maireas. I will wear it with the Oriental Circlet Tiara (that I think I have under a different name.)

Now if only someone can find me a good dressmaker as I fear it may need to be taken out by several inches.

Please may I have Mary Donaldson's pre wedding dress?

Leti and Mary both look stunning. I love that shade of red.

Ahh well! If we’re doing Kate now then please could I have her Birthday Portrait Dress?

As well as that one I think I ought to have one sparkly number...so please could I also have this Jenny Packham? I imagine the Lotus flower tiara is spoken for, but if not...please could I have it, and the earrings that match so beautifully!

Thanks @Maireas! 🌼🌸🌺

Oh and HMQ’s coronation necklace if it’s up for grabs, please,@Maireas 💐

LadyEloise1 · 02/02/2023 17:28

I don't think that photo of Kate for her birthday is good. She doesn't look herself iykwim

TangledWebOfDeception · 02/02/2023 17:33

I like it as it’s own thing - in a way it’s more like a painting, an artist's interpretation, and I’m ok with that. But I do agree that it’s not quite her; it would have been nice if at least one of the photographs had actually looked like her as we know her.

I love the dress (and by extension, her in it) though — flirty, fun and fresh!

TangledWebOfDeception · 02/02/2023 17:36

FGS *its! This confounded spell check/whatever it is never learns that it doesn’t know better than me!!

KillingMeDeftly · 02/02/2023 17:54

All Kate's birthday photos didn't quite look like her. I like the red dress portrait though, makes her look like a modern princess rather than a fairytale one.

They didn't look like her, and I can't quite think why. They're actually not very flattering. Nice dress, though.

I don’t think I’ve got a tiara, or a posh frock. How am I going to show my face at the coronation as expecting my invite any day now? Any spare tiara’s left? Though not that weird one with the Ram, that is a step too far!

Looking for a frock I came across this November 1981, newly married Diana dozes off at a museum shin dig. Such sweetness

TangledWebOfDeception · 02/02/2023 20:42

Yes I think that was when she was pregnant wasn’t it. That early pregnancy tiredness!

KillingMeDeftly · 02/02/2023 21:02

Ah poor Diana. She was the epitome of grown-up glamour to me then but now when I look at that pic all I can think is that she was SO YOUNG.

MotherofPearl · 02/02/2023 21:14

I like this outfit of Leti's and particularly like her shoes. They're a smart heel, but not pointy toed, and not a spindly stiletto.

MotherofPearl · 02/02/2023 21:15

Actually they are a big pointy, but not like some of the very pointy ones.

TangledWebOfDeception · 02/02/2023 21:16

No I know what you mean - they’re different enough to be interesting. I like them too.

LaBrujaPiruja · 02/02/2023 21:17

I want this dress by Lorenzo Caprile

That must be an early one...Letizia’s face is completely different!
