Max Mara Fedra printed crepe de chine dress
Quelle robe super élégante mais comme quelquefois, un peu trop longue - Je serais curieuse de goûter l'une des présentations ; je serais peut-être surprise ?!
ReplyDeleteSophie’s dress looks very pretty on her. I like the strips of polka dot pattern on it. Her hair looks lovely worn down like this.

Thought the DoE was wearing a (bathrobe like) Erdem dress, but it turns out to be a MaxMara to my surprise; to me not the best of choices
ReplyDeleteI thought the same thing. I like the pattern but the style and the length are not flattering
DeleteI thought more of Etro rather than Erdem. Although I can see why you would think so, given the dark florals. Errol most often has these flowy, busy patterned dresses (Sophie has a couple). Max Mara is a surprise for me.
DeleteOnto the choice itself, regardless of its origin, it is the same story in my mind. Sophie isn’t tall enough for this hem length to look good on her. Makes her short-legged and had she chosen a dress two inches shorter, it would have looked better on her. This particular print would be a little tricky to adjust, but nothing too difficult for a good tailor. At least she’s taking a break from Susannah. It was getting too repetitive.

I love this dress on D. Sophie. The colours are flattering and the fit is excellent. As usual it’s a bit too long but that’s her style and I doubt we are going to change her! (V.M.)
ReplyDeleteHer dress is way too long. If the length was like the other two ladies, in the blue and red dress it would of looked wonderful. I like the blue and the red dress they both fit well.
ReplyDeleteYes such a pity she's wearing all her dresses too long
DeleteI think we can see by now that Sophie enjoys dresses this length - Grace
DeleteYes, she enjoys this length, but it is not flattering. Most of these longer dresses look untailored and I find they make her look older.
DeleteI think that if you wear dresses the length that Sophie does it should have a flare in the skirt like the lady in the red dress with an open pump shoe. Otherwise imo it looks frumpy. Now the exception is the Japanese kimono.
ReplyDeleteTerrible length, awkwardly placed uneven waistline, but Sophie is blooming nevertheless. This is not really her best style.
ReplyDeleteThe Duchess looks beautiful, I like the length of this dress, very elegant. The lady in the red dress looks fabulous, love her shoes.
ReplyDeleteCan we just establish Sophie is comfortable in longer skirts? She's doing her job, not trying to be fashionable. I think her vibe is approachable and confident. I appreciate that.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely a NO, as most of her outfits are this past year or so. She used to do so much better.
ReplyDeleteGood look for Sophie. Just look at pic 6

Is it just me? I always hold my breath when looking at new pictures from lovely Sophie. It starts good from the top and when I reluctantly scroll down, I think, please, please, let it be good. But no! Her we go again! In this case it is not even the length, but the uneven hem that gives bathrobe vibes.
ReplyDeleteThe lady in red on the other hand looks gourgeous. Same length like Sophie's dress but a much better fit. I love this outfit with two shades of red, horizontal stripes in the top and vertical stripes in the skirt. I also like how she's gone all red with the accessories, red necklace, red shoes, even some red in the glasses frame. Well done! A good look.
