Was the queen's dress too short?

 Was the queen's dress too short?

Above the knee, arms in the air and flapper style. The queen raised all eyebrows at the delivery of the Francisco Cerecedo Prize for Journalism.

Whenever he attends a public event, he captures all eyes. But last night also generated surprise. 

The queen's look – a white dress with a thousand ruffles, with a black neckline and bare arms signed by the Spanish designer Teresa Helbig – raised eyebrows from Cádiz to Finisterre. 

Fashion blogs were on fire. First thing: wasn't she too short? The second thing: Didn't he party too much? The third thing: Wasn't it too cool for November?

With all these doubts crowding our heads, we wanted to consult an expert to try to regain calm. "The etiquette of social events is marked by the gentleman, in this case the king.

 Felipe VI wore a dark suit, therefore the lady should wear a short dress", explains Marina Fernández, director of institutional relations at the International School of Protocol.

And what is meant by short? "A skirt or dress that reaches the knee or is two fingers above or below. Therefore, in my opinion, the queen is not breaking protocol but her own custom," continues Fernandez, who has a very generous way of expressing measure "two fingers".

 And she continues: "If she had worn a long dress, she would have broken the protocol." Regarding the neckline and bare arms, the tag says nothing, it only talks about the length of the skirt.

 "The queen normally combines a short skirt with a more covered top, or vice versa. But we have never seen her so clear in general," says our expert.
