And don't forget that the amount of jewellery we see, especially tiaras, will depend on how many suitable evening engagements there are. And with baby George going with them I can imagine they will want to get back to him in the evenings, so I am not holding my breath for too many tiaras or big jewellery events. Just one good view of her in the Queen Mother's 'papyrus' tiara would keep me happy
--Previous Message-- : i agree, the length of her hemline is best : discussed elsewhere....but as to her use of : jewelry, i find her choice of costume : jewelry interesting. There is no doubt that : the store they were purchased in and the : designer that created them get a huge amount : of press. Perhaps the DofC is trying to : support British fashion. PrIncess Diana was : also very supportive of British designers : and manufacturers. I also think that as : time progresses we will see the addition of : substantial pieces into her public wardrobe. : It might be years before we see the Duchess : in a complete parure. There are pieces that : I think are stylish enough to be used : now.....the ruby bandeau necklace and the : Cartier diamond bracelets with rubies, : sapphires, and emeralds come to mind. But I : imagine for now we'll have to be satisfied : with the appearance of some well known : brooches. But we do have Queen Maxima to : keep us occupied with her bringing out and : showing off pieces that haven't been seen in : decades! : : --Previous Message-- : While the story is likely fabricated or : embroidered, it does represent a significant : section of public opinion. This isn't the : place to detail wardrobe faux pas (too : tight, too short, distracting hair, heavy : makeup) but many also think her jewelry is : disappointing because it is so juvenile, : generic and mid-market identifiable. : Compare Princess Mary of Denmark with her : beautiful use of modern real jewelry : handmade by Danish designers for : daytime--combined with classic real pearls : and the like. I realize the Duchess is : popular and this isn't a comment on her : person, only on her presentation and style : advice. : : --Previous Message-- : I find it a far-sought and sensationalist : story. So far the Duchess has proved to be : an excellent dresser without any faux-pas. : The only factor for me is her girlie hairdo : hanging in her face. The jewelry department : will automatically be frequented more when : she advances in her royal role. : : : :
