Tesouras&Tiaras Posted August 23, 2018 Report Share Posted August 23, 2018 They look so lovely. I love the women's costumes. The girls are just precious. The boys, well, they look cute. I agree the hat is a little odd, but I just love a national costume anyway. Bella can be a mini-Fred, but her smile and posture screams Mary-daughter all around. Vincent looks more confortable on oficial duties. Josie looks so tired. Christian has his father body expression and posture. Mary is simply gorgeous. Lovely family.

mls Posted August 23, 2018 Author Report Share Posted August 23, 2018 The women's costume is just beautiful! I've never been particularly fond of national costumes except for the kilt, but Mary's and the girls costume is really beautiful. The men's costume would look much nicer without the hat.

Tesouras&Tiaras Posted August 23, 2018 Report Share Posted August 23, 2018 Too cute. Prince Christian being a gentleman and holding his sister's skirt, preventing it from getting wet when Isabella goes down to greet people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ahanks Posted August 23, 2018 Report Share Posted August 23, 2018 Let's all try and remember that national costumes, tho they may look weird to us, have great meaning to said nations people. So maybe not making fun of them would be a good protocol from here on out? I'm not calling anyone out, or trying to be rude. Just my opinion.

No way. Just some lighthearted joking that isn't meant to be taken too seriously. There's been lot of "nisse-joking" on DRF social media too, but I don't think anyone means to be rude about it. The hat just gets one thinking of a Christmas elf. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
