I'm happy to see this spotted repeat Armani, it has elements which could render it shapeless but it manages to tame things into feminine chic. The blouson bodice borders on too much, but is pulled in just in time by Letizia's black belt so there is still a definable waist. The puffed and ruffled sleeves could easily result in further excess of fabric,but are pleasantly summery in execution. All that on top of a full skirt could well end in overwhelm but again this manages to be floaty and summery, thanks to the lightness of the fabric. Black accessories give necessary definition to the flyaway aspects, the Nina Ricci clutch is smart as are the Blahnik pumps, though snakeskin is possibly a touch too much detail on top of all those dots. The diamond pearl drops are divine.

I can't remember ever seeing this dress before. I think I'm getting it confused with a similar one by Massimo Dutti. It's really beautiful and feminine. I love the sleeves worn at 3/4 length and the black pumps and skinny belt are perfect accessories.

I was amazed when the lilac trouser suit turned out to be new, I could have sworn it had been worn before! I suppose Letizia has many signature touches we see repeated.

I know what you mean, Bertie. When you have a large number of clothes some styles, colours and designs can overlap and it's hard to tell them apart.

This is a very becoming, feminine dress. The added addition of the ruffled sleeves is a nice touch. Love the diamond and pearl earrings, stunning.

I do not like these dress at all, It is an Armani but Zara has the same dress and more flattering. The bodice has no form and makes bags at the weist and the cuffes are at a place that bother you, with a French sleeve It would have been much better..
