Thanks @Maireas, didn't realise you had moved.
I love Kate's dress, but I love purple and a floaty sleeve.
Its a shame her hair hides the back

I prefer the design of the original dress. Way too much fabric in Catherine sleeves.

Adore the necklace. Two different rope lengths of pearls is a great idea.

I like the diaphanous sleeves, very elegant. The original reminds me too much of those cold shoulder tops.

Thank you @Maireas! Hoping for more jewels to sparkle as the nights draw in💎👑💍

Thank you @Maireas . I wondered why I couldn't post on the last thread tried three times before I realised that it was full 😁

Hello friends!

I don't usually like cold-shoulder but the original version of the dress looks ok. I'd probably like it better if it had no sleeves at all!

Maireas · 22/09/2026 20:49

I like the diaphanous sleeves though. It seems to all flow well as she moves.

Hello everyone!

I like Kate's hair and the purple colour is lovely. I'm not a huge fan of the dress through - too much material for me (but prefer it to the original with the cutout sleeves). I love that they pulled a rarely worn necklace out - there are so many jewels that never see the light of day - but I would prefer if she wore it in a shorter length.

Maireas · 22/09/2026 20:52

Strangely enough, I hadn't seen that dress and necklace on Camilla, she looks really nice.

Checking in. Love the floaty purple.

smilesy · 22/09/2026 20:55

I definitely prefer it with sleeves than with the dreaded cold shoulder. I am so over that. I really don’t think it is very flattering on most people You need really good shoulders. They also seem a bit pointless to me. Go for either sleeves or no sleeves. Not some kind of weird hinterland 😆

Thank you @Maireas.

I love the deep purple, and prefer the diaphanous sleeves to the slit sleeves. Also love the amethyst necklace.

Not so keen on the double-breasted jacket.
