Frocks have often served double duty, one likes to economize now and again. Now as long as we're at it, it's quite amazing yet true, HRH QE II recycles her bling regularly. In eash of the presented snaps above those tiara's are well worn with all sorts of formal wear...rather peaks our interest no matter the occasion Her Regalness never has nor does she seem inclined to leave one at the cloak and hat check upon entering...Ah well,

Good for her. I'm tired of these environmentalists telling us what we have to give up when they won't even wear the same clothes twice.

It looks to me like The Queen found a dress style which is complimentary and wearable, and sticks with what works but adapts the pattern and its embellishments to the event. If a woman makes it into her 80's and still doesn't know what works on her, she aughtn't go out in public! Obviously, the appliques and the lesser crown, not to mention diluting her necklace with rubies instead of all diamonds, she was dressed for a less social occasion in Trinidad and Tobago. But she totally rocks in Toronto with diamonds, crystals and that over-the-top crown! I should look half as good as she does NOW, God love me.

I looks like she even wears the same shoes with the dress... something I have repeatedly done because I don't have the Queen's budget.

at least it's classy as opposed to michelle's wardrobe...or lack of

Come on, give the queen a break already! She deserves our respect. She's conducted herself as a loyal, dedicated and dignified sovreign during her 58 year reign and she doesn't deserve to be mocked in such a mean-spirited way. She is known for frugality and even though she does get a huge annual allowance paid for the British people, that money is not spent on wardrobe. Most of that money goes toward maintaining the many castles and the large staff required to maintain those castles, as well as for her staff. I'd be very curious to see how Mark Marino, the writer of this article, is functioning when he's 84. Will he still be getting around under his own power -- or will he need a walker? Will all his bodily functions still be working -- or will he be wearing diapers? Longevity is in the queen's genes and the queen mother Mary lived well into her 90's, so let's hope Her Royal Highness Queen Elizabeth also survives that long into her old age. Long live the queen!

3 American soldiers killed today and your worried about what the queen is wearing. Someone should tatoo MORON in your forehead. They should bring back the draft and the first to go should be reporters

Pastor Loren -- I'm not sure he qualifies. Perhaps you should put reporters in quotes. ("reporters")

Who cares if she wore the same dress twice. If its her favorite then more power to her. Poor lady would have been slamed in the press if she had bought a brand new dress for each and every situation. She cannot win for losing.

GOD FOR HER! It is nice to see someone knows how to save a little money. Also, for all you tree huggers out there, she is saving the world.

Obama could take a lesson from her!!

She is lovely in both looks!

do they not have more supportive bras in England?

Long live the Queen. She can wear whatever she wants..for as long as she wants. Just be thankful that she can still officiate at her age. Most of you...won't make it...lol.

She may own more than one white gown too you know! The material is not the kind that you would sew on apilique on only to remove it for another and different appearance...Also the pretty maple leaf motif on the second dress is not just slammed on there either...Get real people...She has dress maker's employed who do nothing but the Royal clothing and I am sure they have a model of her shape as I am sure she doesn't go for fittings at the drop of a hat....and she probably has her favorite cut and color of dress therefore several in different motif
s.....

Boy you can tell this article was written by a man. Only a male would make such a STUPID comparison of an applique on a dress and diseases. He also has NO understanding that when a woman finds a dress or any garment that is comfortable, attractive and flatters who appearance and can be used for multiple events, she keeps it for as LONG as humanly possible. This is obviously such a dress for the Queen. You see, unlike normal people, members of the royal family can't discard items of clothing to charity or even the trash if they want to. First of all, people would do all sorts of stupid things with them and this would be very disrespectful to the Crown. This is why when Diana's sons auctioned off some of her dresses for charity if was such a ground breaking idea. In my reading I learned that in the halls of Buckingham Palace there are halls and halls filled with countless cupboards of clothes from over the years because the clothing can never be disposed. I applaud the Queen and her dresser for reusing this obviously expensive dress in such an attractive way. And personally, I happen to know what it's like to give some piece of clothing you like to a person and they abuse the clothing. One time I gave several pieces of clothing to a new sister-in-law. One was a sweatshirt which I happened to have loved at one point covered with strawberries of other things. About a month later I was at my brother's house and this STUPID girl was using my beloved shirt for a cat bed. I was FURIOUS! After that the woman only received cheap stuff from me. I'm a person who appreciates quality as do most members of my family but obviously this idiot my brother had married (and since divorced) had as much class as a bimbo from a WV trailer court. I always buy my friends and family the same as I would want myself, in other words, NICE things. After seeing this girl use decent clothing for a cat bed and fine china as a cat bowl and a hand-made, hand-embroidered quilt my grandmother gave them as a wedding gift like an old rag, no one ever gave her anything "nice" again. So I know what it would be like for the queen to see her unique pieces of clothing with people who would abuse them.

Oh! No! I think she wore the same shoes, to additions to them. For shame! DUH...
Don't ya'll have NEWS to report? So, what, she is coy and up on the trends; that dress probably cost more than you get in your salary for a year! Leave her alone...

So why does she always carry a purse around? What does she have in it - her driver liscense and car keys? BTW she had the same shoes on. She did have a different crown. Wonder how many different crowns does she have?

So what's wromg with wearing the same dress twice ??? She's on a budget. If the Obama's would cut back, just a little----maybe the U.S. taxpayers would not be in debt for 13 trillion dollars. I'm sure Bush, somhow, will get the blame for that too !

What a hardship, wearing the same dress twice. It is hard to imagine how people have to scrape to get by.
