I can't seem to write anything about this dress without using the word classic about fifty times, because that's exactly what this simple sheath with a lace overlay is. But sometimes you just need something pretty, and this one's definitely got you covered on that front. Not a bad goal for a wedding dress to start with, no?

I'd tell you to keep an eye out for Máxima in the above video, but who are we kidding? She can't be - she won't be! - missed. This is one overcooked look, even on the MAX scale.
You should, though, pay some extra attention to Princess Mabel (in happier times on the arm of Prince Friso for this wedding, above right). She may have made the unusual choice to go hatless at a royal wedding, but her dress itself is something a little extra special.

And on that sweet note, we're heading for a long weekend - Monday's a holiday in my corner of the world, and it's a holiday for the blog too. We shall return on Tuesday!
