Why won't she tell the king she loves him.... Hmm?

Based on the drama, that the only think that she hold so that she can keep being sane because she lose her freedom. after she became concubine, she cannot leave the palace, stuck there until her died and based manga, need to be respectful to his son because his son in higher position from her. Her life totally changed. So she held that, so that she still not lose everything.

Why would he pick out a dress that reminds the king of his late wife?

You must know more than I do... Maybe I missed a detail somewhere. In my opinion,I don't think Camelia would want that type of attention. She's already stressed just being back there in that court where everything went down that sadistic stepmother. But someone planned it to make a statement for sure.

Which is why I believe it’s the current duchess. The ml’s mom. She’s accepted Camellia. And she knows her brother is throwing a tantrum and she also knows her brother has a soft spot for it. I think the ml even mentioned the king won’t do much because it would upset his mother. Plus it’s the same dress. It’s possible the duchess offered her to wear or or something very similar to remind her brother or convey to him that she’s accepted Camellia. Kieran wouldn’t even know what the duchess wore on her debut. He wasn’t even born then and this is a time without cameras soo…..

I see you're point. It's makes a lot of sense now. Thanks for clearing that up for me.
I'm now waiting for the other prince who likes Camila to make his move. I always remember the prologue to happen when the DUKE tells Camilla she didn't think she could run away from him. I'm stoked for the future. Thanks for replying.
I wondered how he is would be to get CAMELIA to stay there and possibly marry him.
