I think this dress is very cute.

Here's another view of the front.

Crown Princess Victoria wore the same dress to a trip to Brazil i think in March 2009

Its certainly one Victoria wore, and yes it was the trip to Brazil earlier this year

I really like it on Sophie, the cut (especially around the neckline and waste) really flatters her, and the black & white are good for her too.

I am echoing everyone else. This dress is very cute on Sophie. It fits her well, and the print looks lovely on her. It is a fun style that works well for her figure.

That is a beautiful dress. Sophie looks wonderful.

Sophie's choice is really great.
Everything is perfect - the dress (I don't know who is designer), but it looks like Chanel, and also a very beautiful bag!

 

[Marsel]

The dress suits Sophie. It's really a very becoming design: both Sophie and Victoria looked marvelous in it.

 

[bertie5252003]

Love the black and white as well, the bag is one she has had since her public life began and it is amazing if you make classic choices they last. The classic lines in clothing really suit her and it is what she wears best IMO.

 

[susan alicia]

I like dresses. This one suits her, she is very femine and she looks good in this style.

Does anyone know who the Countess's favourite designers are? I think she looked very elegant on her engagement this week.

 

[Opal]

I'm not sure who her favorite designers are Ukroyalist, but here's the outfit from that engagement your speaking of on Sept. 9. 2009:

[Dierna23]

That's quite an odd look IMO, I don't like it. And her hair looks pretty untidy.

But this dress is really gorgeous and she looks so youthfully.

 

[bertie5252003]

The hounds tooth is very cute but the black and white she wore at top of page is IMO too busy for Sophie and is not flattering at all the collage work is lovely though thanks

The Countess looks uber elegant. I'd love to see a close up of the heels. They look like they're peep toe...

 

[queenofthelight]

Sophia is amazing.
The dress is simply and it looks very elegant and stylish, the colour is deep, the lenth is quite well.

I like the colour just not the dress.

 

[Dierna23]

Great to see Sophie in such a warm, deep colour. Very lovely, I'd hope to see her more often in such colours. The dress is nice, I think it is a elegant and beautiful look.

 

[MelinaB.]

This is a beautiful dress and the color suits her a lot!The shoes are to die for.
But something's missing...No hat?Yes,that's it.We're talking about the Ascot Festival,the hat is a must,imo.

It wasn't the Ascot festival - that takes place in June.

 

[Ukroyalist]

Has anyone else seen one of the photo agencies is running pics of the Countess's heels? They look incredible....

 

[Sereta]

Sophie looks good in this dress. Red is a good colour for her. I'm not sure about the necklace though.

These were the only ones I could find that showed her shoes better (I couldn't find any close-ups of the shoes unfortunately)

MelinaB. this was the Ascot Beer Festival not the regular Ascot Races held in the summer when they wear all the hats.

I thought that was what I had read,but it doesn't matter.Sometimes people here post pictures from events that took place several months,even years,ago.I just wanted to point out how much I love seeing hats on royal women

I can't open the link.
But from what i can see on the other pictures, they are very nice shoes.

 

[Patra]

Overall great color, fabric, accessories- especially the shoes & necklace. BUT, the gather is awful at the waist. It adds bulk in a problem area for Sophie- additionally it hits her too low, almost at the navel area, which is a big fashion "no, no" unless you are Paris Hilton, and all you want to do is show bare vular navels and such..... Lose the waist gather and move seam up 2", and it would be perfect!

 

[queenofthelight]

I like her choice, it's nearly always classic.
The shoes are very practical.

 

[bertie5252003]

I love this outfit she looks so very trendy and the shoes are gorgeous. The colour really suits her as well.
