Another lovely summery dress. Its so nice to see a dress such as this and think well that is something I could wear! The neckline is very becoming. I like the corded fabric belt, it defines the shape/ silhouette well. The colour of the dress is lovely, and patterning of the fabric adds appeal. The hemline and length is spot on. Little hoop earrings are perfect. Love this.

It's lovely to see the Royal couple out together on such a sunny engagement and this dress adds to the occasion.

Such pretty colours in this Adolfo Dominguez dress and very handy to have the narrow pleating to disguise creasing. I find it hard to believe anyone could survive in heat in polyester as I still recall how uncomfortable the early polyester fabrics were. They have really moved on since then. The new Macarena espadrilles are too pale in pink and make Letizia's feet look extra big. Fun ponytail.

Love love love the shoes. Kate would love them too! The dress looks beautiful on her as well- I am especially pleased to see that the material doesn't dwarf her - it compliments her petite figure. Well done!

I love this dress! The alternating shades of dark and light blue along with the vertical pattern creates a very striking look. It's the perfect summer dress- cool, comfortable, modern and stylish. The wraparound tie defines the waistline and is the perfect accessory. The espadrilles give it a casual look but it could easily be transformed to a more formal look with a more elegant shoe/sandal.

This is such a pretty, summery dress, although it is lined with polyester so might not be as cool to wear as it looks. The print is pleasing as are the colours and the ribbon tie at the waist.

I do realize that these shoes are especially popular in Spain but to me they look so clunky and heavy. I'd prefer a nice scrappy sandal in navy.

Queen Letizia has a beautiful style. Love the dress and the simple, casual and simple elegance.

I have watched this blog for a number of years, but I have never commented. You do a great job of following the Queen's style. I often return to the Style File when I am looking for inspiration. Thank you for all your efforts. '

I saw this dress on the Adolfo Dominguez website some weeks ago and thought that the vibrant hue and slim silhouette would be a good fit for the Queen. The halterneck style showcases the beautiful line of the shoulders. I'm impressed with the cut of the outer shell, the pleating skims the body and sits neatly under the grosgrain ribbon which discreetly defines the waist. The print was 'inspired by the trace of colour chalk on old blackboards', it's weathered effect works delicately on the light fabric. My only issue is that we have seen three new alparagatas from one company (three companies could have been endorsed). The Macarena style is heavy, and I find the soft pink and ankle straps overly girly. I may have been inclined to choose a pair of grey or camel Castañer alparagatas. Grey would have been more sophisticated colourwise and the camel would have elongated the leg, either shade would also have been extremely versatile for future looks making them worth the slightly higher price point.

Macarena is a small business in La Rioja, only 60 workers, Castañer is very famous more expensive. She knows what is doing in Spain perfectly. Fashion is not important right now.

Nice fashion points Jennifer thank you. I agree that the pink adds to the clunky effect of these shoes, and really love how neat the grey Castaner pair are, quite a revelation. Maybe the Queen was in a hurry with her 'holiday' packing and it was simply easier to go to the same labels for three pairs!

More important than her clothes is their visit to one of the poorest neighborhoods in Sevilla , the poorest of Spain in the hope to improve things.
