Yay or Nay? Princess Louise Auguste
Royal blue tends not to be a spring color, but it's all about how you accessorize. Just ask the Duchess of Osuna who gained a Yay for her look. Personally I think a walking stick could make just about any outfit! This week my longing for spring has an influence on the gown, but will this gown be pleasantly received?

This gets a big YAY from me!
ReplyDeleteI love how "light" the dress looks and the spring-ish colors.
Not sure about the veil thing, but the dress itself is very nice. Love the shoes!
ReplyDeleteYay! It's so pretty and feminine. And I love the dainty little shoes peeping through too.
ReplyDeleteNay. Gaulle just don't flatter the bustless, waistless figure, and all the details and accessories start to look fussy, which takes away from the simple, unstructured look which is the charm of the gaulle.
ReplyDeleteThey are great shoes though!
Pretty dress but the veil has to go---lends a creepy sort of Miss Havisham touch. A big Yay nonethe less
ReplyDeleteYay! for me...I love the soft colors and lightness of the dress.
ReplyDeleteNo so sure about the veil, or how her arm looks a bit...awkward in the angle.
But again, YAY!!!
Oooooh, big "yay" for this one! Lovely dress!
ReplyDeleteYay. Especially love the sleeves! Not too keen on the veil, though, but willing to overlook it since I love the dress.
ReplyDeleteBarring the dark shoes (which are great, but not with this dress) the outfit has a nice, ethereal look to it and is really pretty.
ReplyDeleteA big YAY from me!
Yay!
ReplyDeleteDid you know that when they painted this, she was the first to introduce the gown to the danish people? One of her brother, the crownprince, advicers said that it was not a proper way to portray a princess! You could paint an actress or mistress that way, but you could not paint a princess in bare chemise! So Jens Juel had to paint to portraits, one with the scandalous chemise gown and one in formal attire :) It reminds me of the time where Marie Antoinette was painted in a chemise gown for the first time xD
It's sweet but kind of boring. I give it a meh.
ReplyDeleteYay yay yay yay YAY!
ReplyDeleteVery pretty- I love the sleeves.
ReplyDeleteYea!
-Julia
yay!
ReplyDeleteyay-i just love it
ReplyDeleteWow! that's such a beautiful dress (although extreamly girly-but girly can be good!) although i'm not to fond of the veil and the collar (or whatever its supposed to be).
ReplyDeleteall in all it gets a YAY! out of me :D
Not so sure about the veil & the shoes should be a more delicate shade. But the rest of it is very charming, I can feel the soft Spring breezes just looking at it!
ReplyDeleteYAY without a doubt. Has given me an idea for my own wardrobe...
ReplyDeleteYour one and only
Duchess of the Shire
Definitely a yay she looks so effortless and chic
ReplyDeletewhat is that on her head?
ReplyDeleteI love how she combines these two colours.I think they look very good combined and that they bring out her youth.I think the hair accessory looks nice although i'd prefer a hat.Nevertheless it's still a big yay from me!
ReplyDeleteI think it is lovely. Yay.
