Which royal lady is for you queen in recycling of clothes? And why? :lol:
 
My opinion: It must be Queen Sonja! She recycles every single piece of her wardrobe a thousand times ;) . Galadresses, suits, hats...
I think she wore the yellow and the babyblue galagowns about 6 times.
See some examples of her Recycle-Mania here. :flowers:
Mette-Marit seems to follow her mother-in-law! She's the CrownPrincess of recycling!;)
 
Mary is for me - I love the way she recycles - making an almost completely new outfit every time.
 
I think, Princess Alexandra of Denmark, countess Frderiksborg:flowers:
She has recycled her clothes, dresses, gala gowns alot

I vote for Crown Princess Mary- she recycles her clothes in such a way that it often takes some of the sharp eyes on her recycling thread to point them out to me! (the notable exception being last night's red velvet dress, in Norway, but it was still gorgeous, so I don't mind)
 
What about older Ladies? Does they recycling their clothes and which? Does Queen Elizabeth II had done it or doing that too?
 
When Letizia is not pregnant, she wears a white pant/tweed jacket combo to death
 
Also Queen Rania of jordan and princess Haya....

I think Queen Eliazbeth, Queen sonja and letezia
 
In my opinion;Princess Mary and Queen Rania,I love their recycling clothes:flowers:
 
The Spanish royal women recycle a lot. Though as much as I love Queen Sofia's dress sense, I do hope she'll have new suits/gowns soon :rolleyes:
 
They ALL recycle a lot! Mary, Letizia, Sonja, Silvia - I really think they all do.
 
Queen Margrethe II.
 
Not too sure about the queena but I would say Queen Sonja recycles alot of gala dresses. I would say about the corwn princess's that they all do recycle quite often but sometimes we would think one does more than the other because for example, Letizia often would recycle the same exact outfit where as Mary & Maxima would mix & match so it would look kind-of new.
 
The title without a doubt goes to Princess Anne. She almost never wears a new outfit. In recent years she has worn outfit she has wore in the 70s!!!

Julliette, I'm sure I've seen threads for individual royals recycling clothes already, but these are all I can find so maybe I'm going crazy:

Recycling clothes Mathilde - this site is exactly what it sounds like, done in a blog form

Sorry that I have not yet added links to all of Mary's outfits yet, I'll try to get back to them soon.

How often can a dress be recycled?

Queen Sonja shows us - one can wear a dress more then 200 times :lol:

I think no other dress in this world has been recycled more often then the yellow galagown

just a few examples

So, if you ask me: Sonja definitely wins the Queen of Recycling competition.
 
she definitely LOVES this dress to death, that's why she wears it so often. BTW not the best one. :lol:

Didn't queen Sonja have a salmon-coloured version of this type of dress as well which she also used a lot? There was a lot of comments about the 'salmon dress' at the glittering board at one point. Well, if she likes them ;) - and she certainly saves a lot on her and Harald's budget....

Haha, yeah. The famous salmon dress is another of the "recycled-to-dead" dresses :lol:... She didn't wear t for a longer while now (which somehow scares me ;)).


Here's another recycle-favourite of her

Or that one (I love it)

The blue dress actually is about 15 years old

http://images.sesam.no/scanpix/preview/2006/10/spdaaf75.jpg


The same goes for her suits and hats. ;)
 
THanks for the pictures Her Majesty :flowers: - I remember that blue dress as well.
But I think the salmon dress I was thinking of was a bit different - the same 'plissee' like fabric as the yellow one - but with huge wing-like sleeves. I have tried to google it but have not come up with any pics.

Anyway, even if queen Sonja does recycle a lot she looks nice - and appropriate :) But she could certainly give princess Anne a run for her money in the recycling department :D
 
Here are 2 pics of the favourite salmon

(the famous wings :lol:)


This dress-jacket combination also belongs to her Top 5 recycling clothes

Or this light blue dress :D
(which somehow got lost .. as well as the salmon :D )

The while Chanel-Suit really belongs to my favourite Sonja-Recycles.
I like the fact that she wears different variations of it. ... with different skirts or pants.

I think she recycles her clothes quite clever. She uses to alter them a little bit (at least the suits) and has larger spaces between the times she wears them (exept the yellow nightmare).
