This week’s #FridaysFrills is this 1870-1915 Børre-Lorenzen & Co court dress. The object description says it is from Copenhagen and Russia. It is very similar to many Russian court dress, but was made by a Danish company. So it is unclear who wore it. #FashionHistory pic.twitter.com/TvA2j5etZM

Were we just talking about Russian court dress last week? This isn’t exactly a court dress, but definitely influenced by it and utterly gorgeous. Ahhhh, thank you Lauren Deutsch. And with that, let’s push on to Bits.

Zara is in her element, the Spains keep working, and the Cambridges make some bagels, all here.

Look, a Sophster sighting! Looking good in her printed dress (no ID on the designer, alas). The Countess is the Patron of the Vision Foundation. She recently sat for a sculpture designed for vision impaired people. The sculptor is Frances Segelman (Lady Petchey). The entire event was live streamed, showing the British royals are marching to a new drum in these new days.
Let’s do a throwdown Defense of the Dress right here. The Duchess of Cambridge wore this Beulah floral to bake some bagels last week. Beulah is now defunct, closing under somewhat of a cloud. However, let’s focus on whether we like this particular dress – I personally am somewhat undecided. The white bands around the forearms seem rather rugby-esque for a feminine floral.

Prince Joachim is recovering, and looking good, to the great relief of all.
New photo of Princess Marie and Prince Joachim in Paris shared on the Court’s social media:

The next two entries are a bit of much-needed Classic Princessing in black and white. First up, Bene makes the cozy cardi look elegant. How does she do it?

I struggled to come up with a word to describe my spirit animal Margriet. I’ll leave it all up to you.
Sweden
Victoria and Daniel got their culture on at the Philharmonic. Victoria graced us with some ruffles, a ponytail, and a print, so all is well with the world. I am not being in the least sarcastic: she looks great.
Sofia – who I have missed quite a bit – attended a Project Playground fundraiser in Max Mara. To her credit, she has really been totally committed to that patronage and uplifts that rather dull design altogether.
Princess Sofia wore a new Max Mara sweater ( https://t.co/YeGytJcP4D) and a matching Max Mara maxi skirt for tonight’s Project Playground fundraiser event!
