One thought on “Wedding of Prince Maurits of Orange-Nassau, 1998

  1. I really liked this Bride’s look. The removable short jacket was very pretty, with the deep pintucked cuffs echoing the waistline of the gown nicely. My only quibble was that what looked like the edge of the halter-necked gown showed at the side of the collar and spoiled the line a little.
