Royal Dresses of the Day: Crown Princess Mary in Seattle

That's right, Crown Princess Mary was hanging out stateside! Her visit to Seattle included several events; I'm zeroing in on two dresses. Two winners? Let's decide:

Mary attended an event for the launch of a nationwide cultural campaign.

I vote yes on this one, it's a winner. Loads of fun detail, a little bit twirly. I can't help but wonder the same thing with this one as I do with our second selection, though...

Mary also attended a gala function at the Nordic Museum with other Nordic representatives.

...are these two pairs of basic shoes the best choice for these dresses? This one could do with a little bit more, I think. I'm not about to let that stop me from admiring the absolute sleekness of the dress itself, though! The dress alone is a winner.
