* '''Deconstructed''': Mary's dress is eventually commented on as being a lot more expensive than it looks, which leads to rumors about how much power she really has. This could go either way: she may suddenly get social callings by others wanting to get in her good graces, or she may be seen as a haughty HolierThanThou or AloofDarkHairedGirl type that's too snobby to socialize; either way, Mary is going to be put into a social situation she is not comfortable with.
* '''Reconstructed''': It's really only Nancy who figures out that Mary's subdued wealth signaling in a sea of much more loudly designed rich dresses is a kind of SecretTestOfCharacter Mary puts out at upper-crust social events to see who has the brains to piece things together without needing to be told, as Mary is a SilkHidingSteel type who prefers making moves quietly in a DeadlyDecadentCourt. Nancy becomes one of Mary's most trusted friends because she's able to demonstrate her own acumen and discretion when talking with her.

** Princess Mary’s clothes get their value from the materials and craftsmanship. The dress might be simple in design, but the fabric was made from thousands of silkworm cocoons, and all the silkworms had to be hand-raised. The jewelry may be understated in style, but making such dainty and delicate pieces out of metal and stone took countless hours by skilled artisans.
