It is good to see her in a dress that fits well, looks comfortable, and is not screaming, "Here I am!" In photo #10, she is the only woman with her knees covered and she looks very nice that way. She usually has interesting, imaginative accessories like these natural pieces which blend in well. I wish the hat brim was a bit smaller so we could see her face better.
ReplyDeleteWell it’s a good length and a flattering colour, but it’s a bit too tight and showing the line of her hose. I’d love to see it worn with some better jewelry. The necklace and earrings she chose look too casual, more like something you’d take on vacation. I don’t know what to think about the hat except it’s very Q. Maxima! (V.M.)
ReplyDeleteLike the dress--lovely colour, good length and fits well. It's possibly not my favourite hat but it's an improvement on the straggly hair and others are wearing hats so it's no too over the top. Love the necklace.It's definitely one of the better outfits we've seen recently.
ReplyDeleteI think this is a fantastic dress, both in color and silhouette, the length is perfect, a minor quibble is that it's too tight we're it shouldn't be, proper undergarments would have taken care of it, I think the necklace brings the Máxima touch and makes the outfit more interesting. The hat is very elegant as well.
ReplyDeleteAgree with you Cherry Blossom.
DeleteLovely autumnal colour and fits well Love her necklace and earings and her hat finishes off the whole look
ReplyDeleteFinally a dress with a proper length and a nice cut. She can have the colour as well. But the bodice is still a bit too tight; however way better than other choices lately.
ReplyDeleteNot so fond of the hat and necklace but it's so typically Maxima that I don't mind ;-)
She looks great!
ReplyDeleteIndeed.
DeleteJolie tenue dans des couleurs automnales, joliment ceinturée ; j'aime beaucoup ce style de chapeau plus élégant que d'habitude !!!
ReplyDeleteA potentially great outfit totally ruined by bad fit. Those under bust darts go up way too high and so do the back bodice darts. It is creasing badly which a correct interlining would have at least reduced. The belt at the back does not look like it is in her waist and the dress is clinging in all the wrong places showing her underpinnings. If you see how beautifully the very similar lilac dress worn by Catherine Duchess of Cambridge fitted (by Emilia Wickstead)I could just cry in misery. I suspect Nathan but maybe I am maligning the wrong designer. Max PLEASE go to Claes Iverson he works in the Netherlands, his clothes for you fit perfectly at least, even if I am not happy with all his designs for you.
ReplyDeleteNot too crazy about the hat and jewellery either. I love some of her outlandish jewellery but not this.
You do realize Catherine and Máxima do not have the same body figure.
DeleteBetter undergarments would have helped so much. Spanx would have smoothed out the lumpy area on her waist and upper body, and she is still in need of better bras. I am really happy to see her knees covered, and her belt is nice and thin. While her necklace is very Maxima, but not over the top, I think it disappears into the dress. I would have liked to have seen a little contrast or color that coordinated well.
ReplyDeleteGreat look on Maxima,she sure likes bold jewelry.
ReplyDeleteI love this dress. The colour, length are lovely, but the dress is a tad tight. Not liking the jewellery at all.
ReplyDeleteVery nice, interesting and fits her perfectly. Not over the top (even with the large baubles). And such a beautiful colour. Well done, Máxima.

Cool necklace!
