Now we have some poll results! We’ll begin with results for the preferred evening Gown category, which saw your preferred well ahead of the second as well as third location choices. The surprise for me with this vote was exactly how close the blush pink Marchesa gown worn to the Spain state dinner was to the blue Jenny Packham dress, particularly considering the bad photos we had of the Marchesa. (I did not include a picture of the Marchesa gown right here since the pictures were so dreadful.)
This is exactly how the voting turned out.
You may keep in mind that for this year’s polls you might likewise vote for “other,” as well as leave comments. The feedback on evening gowns included three “none of the above” comments, one expressing “hope she goes back to much more traditional styles,” as well as one in favor of the red Alexander McQueen gown from the tour.
Next, the Cocktail gown you liked the most from Kate’s 2017 selections.
I liked the method the voting came out in this group since three extremely different gown styles were selected. “Other” comments were restricted to one liking “all” of the dresses as well as one expressing a wish for much more “classic, timeless” dresses. Below, the votes for this category.
When it came to your Favorite Day Dress, the Erdem Evita was the clear winner.
But look exactly how close the other three dresses were – each garnering 9% of the vote. Comments accompanying the “Other” votes in this collection included a number of liking “all” as well as one saying “none of the above.”
And now for your votes in the preferred Hat poll. This is rather a mix in terms of design; the very first as well as second choices are distinctive in their difference from the other three hats.
Those picking “other” as well as leaving comments were vocal in saying “none,” while the Alpaca Fur hat seen at Christmas was likewise mentioned in one comment. I understand a few comments wondered why that and/or the grey alpaca hat from last January weren’t included. They were not part of the poll since I was trying to limit the voting to the much more formal, or dressier, hats. You see right here exactly how close the voting was on the third, fourth as well as fifth location finishers.
How are you feeling about a preferred Jewelry and/or preferred Shoes and/or preferred fit polls in spite of exactly how deep we are into the new Year? If those are something you would like to see, let me understand in comments. I am still planning the “Things We Missed during the Tour” publish as well.
That is it, for now; we’ll see you Sunday for the BAFTA awards at Royal Albert Hall. There will be a online stream from the red carpet starting at 1700 regional time, that is Noon ET/9 am PT in the US. We will be able to watch the feed on the BAFTA Facebook page as well as Twitter account.
I will keep an eye out for any type of much more details on the feed; if there is much more info I will add it here, as well as on the Facebook page as well as Twitter.
