The Duchess met members of the Battalion and their families. 4 RIFLES trains, advises, assists, mentors and accompanies the soldiers of overseas partners, helping them to develop their own capability and prevent crisis. |
While this shade of green is nice, I do not think the style of the jacket and style of the skirt go well together. Also, the clasps on the jacket front with all the pleats of the skirt are just too busy.
ReplyDeleteThe frog closures on the jacket are a nod to the military; they have been a traditional fixture of uniforms. I imagine her choice of dress was very well thought out to represent her position as the “Royal Colonel.”
DeleteWhile the jacket may be a nod to the military, I agree with the first comment and do not care for the skirt with this jacket.
DeleteA very nice event for the DOC today. She really seem to love kids and they love her. Nice choice of outfit.
