It seems like last year when all the cousins stepped into to support William when he hosted the garden party on his own. Though this time Catherine was there too.

There's the rest of Zara's dress! It seems a little tight in the top, but not too bad. It's a beautiful dress and it suits her.

The top of Eugenie's dress--no. We get to see a bit of her bra. A higher neckline or an insert would have been better.

Some more photos. I love Sophie's entire outfit. Yes, it's a little shower cutainish, but the cut is perfect for her. And it's colorful, too.

We've seen that yellow dress on Catherine before and it looks lovely. Whoever did her hair is a master artist. That updo is truly beautiful.

The Duchess of Gloucester is just beaming and having a good time. She and the Duke really deserve recognition for all they do.

I haven't seen the rest of Zara's dress, but I think the print is really pretty.

Eugenie should reconsider the neckline of her dress. She treated the camera to a bit of bra cup as she was talking to guests. Not good.

It's a family show of solidarity, the same as last year. This year a further solidarity after the Dimwit's attack, essentially on his father and brother.
I like all the women's dresses, Eugenie's dress should have had a higher neckline, of course, it was a nice dress, otherwise.

Yes, they all looked good. The gentlemen, too. I liked the rest of Eugenie's dress.

I think there's a different feeling around things like the garden parties now. When HM was alive, there was a sense of formality and everything seemed really choreographed. Now things feel more loose. There's still formality and structure, but it just feels different.

They all appear to be doing better than just small talk. Impressive.
