Well I wish your dream would come through... I don't suspect so but it would be nice if all royal ladies present, would wear tiaras and decorations... Well on the other hand Prinsjesdag dresscode is not thàt bad but let's be honoust, it was not realy prinsjesdag-dresscode in 1980: because Pieter van Vollenhoven, Carlos-Hugo and others wore white tie and orders... So why should the ladies not wear tiaras is beyond me. But I suppose we should be happy if things go (dresscode wise) like they did in 1980. You will hardly ever see such things become "better" over several decades, only worse... So a reprise of the dresscode in 1980 would already make me happy because I am afraid that it easily could become even more dull... 33 years is a long time and the world has changed a lot. When Beatrix got married in 1966 all woman wore long dresses but at Willem-Alexanders wedding none of the woman wore long dresses... Pieter van Vollenhoven and Prince Constantijn only wear morningdress (jaquet) during Prinsjesdag proceedings. They could also opt for thát...let's hope not.
