The Earl of Wessex, Prince Edward, turned 58 on Thursday, and on this occasion, The Earl and Countess of Wessex visited Liverpool. They spent the day meeting with community leaders, charities and emergency services workers in order to receive more information on the work they were doing to benefit the region.
The Earl and Countess first opened the Sir Ken Dodd Happiness Hall in Knotty Ash, which in memory of the late comedian, has been transformed into a new space for the community. Thereafter, The Earl and Countess visited Asylum Link Merseyside. Asylum Link is an organisation aiming to help Asylum Seekers and Refugees and raise public awareness about refugee issues.

Déjà portée, c'est une robe au joli contraste des bandes entre le haut et la jupe mais pourquoi donc avec cette longueur ? Il me semble qu'en portant des bottes comme sur le mannequin, elle aurait plus d'allure sans que cela ne tasse trop sa silhouette !
ReplyDeleteI have noticed for years that English women, when dressed up, wear long skirts or dresses. Not only for evening wear but also for day wear. Part of my life was spent in England.
DeleteSome women I knew did it to hide leg problems (swelling, veins etc).
Apart from that is it because of the climate or is it just an English fashion?
Je suis d'accord avec le commentaire de Tulippe33.

I like the style and colour of the dress but the skirt is loo long and it should be worn with boots.

Though I like the colour and pattern of the dress the CoW's wearing, I consider it too long in particular because of the non-matching jacket she's wearing on top of it. Booths might have improved the look somewhat, but to me overall conclusion is that it's a bit of a mismatch today.

In some of these photos, Sophie's blazer seems to clash with the colors of her dress. In the pictures taken indoors, the colors are more harmonious. This blue striped dress is not one of my favorites. Although it fits her very well (except the too-long length), it does nothing to enhance her silhouette, especially with this particular blazer. Her hair is done nicely. As always, Sophie relates admirably with everyone, especially children and senior citizens. She is one of my favorite members of the BRF.
ReplyDeleteSophie is also one of my favorite members of the BRF too. I think instead of a blazer style jacket a bolero style jacket would have looked better with this dress.
DeleteNot a fan of this color block type skirt. Jakie
ReplyDeleteGood grief, she is absolutely swamped in this outfit. When will she realize that an overly long skirt is completely wrong for her stature. (Val)
ReplyDeleteSophie looks great--except for the way too long skirt. I really want to hire her good seamstress or tailor to fix all of her beautiful but too long skirt and dress lengths.
ReplyDeleteThis dress looks nice on the model, the boots maybe or without the coat. It seems a very heavy outfit. On the Duchess the length seems very long, not so much on the model. I don't know whether the colour of the jacket goes with the dress, different photos, change of shade/colour tone.
ReplyDeleteYou took the words out of my mouth, Val. The dress swallows Sophie.
ReplyDeleteEven if the dress would fit better, I don’t like the print or cut. Can’t imagine how it would look good on anyone.
