Fans adored the princess' lengthy train

Herve Verhoosel, the couple's spokesperson, told Dutch media: "The corset and neckline are inspired by fashionable women of the 18th century and the fabric that drapes over the shoulders, drapes and falls from the hip is reminiscent of ancient Greek statues."
