Pffttt... I don't think Mary has to "outproduce" anyone. Why debase life by making the birth of a kid seem like its some sort of competition?
Camilla's dress looks exactly like the dress she wore at her own wedding. Which really goes to show: everyone's different. Maxima, Sophia etc have all worn white to someone else's wedding.
I personally wouldn't mistake Mary for the bride. Her cardigan is pink, and with it off, the whole gettup looks nothing like a bridal dress (unless brides wear black tops with green circles or whatever).
I reckon people are only picking on her because they can, and this is the only thing they can come up with.
Ho hum... wish something more interesting was happening.
I think you misunderstood my coment, maybe because I kind of joke here and there while typing a post just to make it lighter to read. Those who know me, like Larzen or UserDane, know perfectly well I am devoted follower the
Cult of Mary (sorry, I can't help being clownish either
) and in more than once I have come to defend the lady from really vicious people who just hate her guts.
That said, I'll try to put my coments on the dress she wore in a different way so you see I am not picking on Mary:
If you have a friend or a relative and you and that person assist to an event, a particular restaurant or any social activity and that person comes out of the house wearing the wrong thing, won't you point it out?
Won't you be a pal and tell him or her:
"...
you know, I think that's not the outfit you should wear for that place, let's go back and take a look on what else you have in the closet..."
Same thing here on the comments about her choice of (a gala) white dress for a friend's wedding but, to top it off, the use of a cardigan over a gala dress. Like wearing a baseball cap with a tuxedo, a business suit with flip flop sandals. We all like Mary but, come on, as I said we can't be blind and not comment on a fashion disaster.
And I don't put all the responsibility on Mary, 50% of it should go to her assistants that are supposed to know ahead of time what outfit to prepare for her selection for this or that activity. And, as Alysa pointed out,
...a nice formal shawl instead of that cardigan...would have made a big diference too.
