Crown Princess Victoria of Sweden attended the memorial concert "On Earth as it is in Heaven" at the Riddarholmen Church in Stockholm. The concert was performed in memory of King Charles XV. The Riddarholmen Church is Sweden's royal burial church and Stockholm's only preserved mediaeval abbey. The church is the final resting place of the Swedish kings. King Charles XV died on 18 September 1872 at the County Governor's official residence in Malmö following a long illness.
In theory, I like this 1950s "New Look" style. In practice, I don't. but I don't know why. Is it the belted jacket or the very wide skirt? Someone enlighten me, please.
ReplyDeleteMy observation is that the dress is appropriate for a religious ceremony in a church.
DeleteBut for a remembrance concert in a church, it looks a little too somber and dowdy.
A flash of colour somewhere is needed. Or a “Maxima” relook (jewellery, bows etc).
Is it from a Swedish fashion house?
Oh dear, this little number needs to be banished to the back of the closet.

Interesting outfit. Has a nun-vibe about it but is still attractive. The skirt is really voluminous but the whole silhouette still structured and fitted. This non-colour is really drab but fine for a memorial concert.
ReplyDeleteMy opinion as well.
DeleteI love the Swedish and Danish royals. They always look so happy, so down-to-earth, and look beautiful, no matter what they are wearing. CP Victoria will be an amazing queen some day.
ReplyDeleteVery beautiful esemble - Princess Victoria is elegant as always.
ReplyDeleteI do wish Victoria would try a different hair style.
ReplyDeleteI think its the neckline of the camisole with the collarless jacket. Otherwise i like the style and color
ReplyDeleteI agree. The problem is the neckline. Looks like something is missing. Maybe jewelry or a scarf would have made the upper part less plain and boring.
Deletesorry but this is one fugly outfit...weird material, illfiting, drab color. thankfully beautiful smile is present.

La giacca è carina, ma la gonna è troppo ampia e gonfia. E avrei scelto un altro colore per scarpe e borsa.
ReplyDeleteTrès élégante veste ceinturée mais pas pour cette jupe trop large ; à mon avis, je l'aurais bien vue sur une jupe droite, le tout dans une couleur mauve !
ReplyDeleteNot fond of this outfit. It looks like the skirt has too much fabric and the color is drab. But Victoria's smile and warmth make up for that! MD
ReplyDeleteVictoria borde byta stylist. Kronprinsessan ser ju bra ut men inte i en sån kreation.
ReplyDeleteIts interesting and unusual. I applaud the CP for trying something different.
ReplyDeleteOh, dear. Very unflattering outfit that makes a beautifully in-shape Victoria look much larger than she is. Too much fabric in all parts. Also, gray is not her color. The only lady that seems flattered by gray is Mary of Denmark
ReplyDeleteI agree.
DeleteThe shape and color makes her look much larger and washed out.
ReplyDeleteNot feeling this one.
ReplyDeleteGreat dressing! It’s perfect for Crown Princess Victoria.
