Carnation Breakfast Essential Is Good For Adult
"The Princess Bride." Mariana Skuratovskaya.
Channel.
In 1554 Queen Mary I, daughter of Henry VIII and Catherine of Aragon, married a English prince, the future king Philip II.
Top dress Mary, as described by his contemporaries, was covered with ornaments of gold fabric, a long train decorated with large pearls and diamonds. Lapels wide sleeves, which are then fashionable, worn tucked, were covered with gold mesh, also lined with pearls and diamonds. Bottom skirt, which opened divergent floors dress was of white embroidered with silver satin.
Philip, before coming to England, had sent the future wife Huge diamond and the wedding day he graced the Queen on his chest. Tridtsativosmiletnyaya Mary looked, if not beautiful (which, in the opinion of contemporaries, never was - but does it really matter?), then, at least, the magnificent Queen (which is far more important).
***
Portuguese Princess Catherine Braganza, became the wife of King Charles II (1630-1685), preferred, of course, the Portuguese fashion, quite strict, but in England, aiming to show the location of a new home English began to wear dresses. On the wedding day she wore a light pink dress trimmed with blue bows. These bows after the ceremony and one of the maids of honor took off clothes and gave away the Queen and guests - before any such gift was the Duke of York, brother of the King (the future King James II), and then the rest. As he wrote then one of his courtiers, "all of the tapes from a wedding dress of Her Majesty's cut, and everyone got a piece." At Queen's there is not one ... But participants were enthusiastic about the opportunity to get a souvenir.
A dress of Mary of Modena, wife of James II (1633-1701) was ... theatrical props. Known actress of the time, Elizabeth Barry, brilliantly played the role of Queen Elizabeth I in the tragedy of "The Unhappy Favourite, or the Earl of Essex." Queen Mary of Modena so liked the performance of the Queen Theater, which she gave her her wedding dress and coronation robe. In these royal robes, Mrs. Barry continued to play Elizabeth, and with such success that "the queen in her performance people were familiar with much better than the queen of historical."
***
The dress Charlotte, wife of King George III, "stomaker (the name or the front portion of removable corsage or a decoration for her, as in this case) was literally strewn with diamonds. He was described thus: "The background was very fine as cat's whiskers, a grid of small diamonds. A major diamond was made ornaments in the shape of flowers. One of these stones was worth eighteen, the other sixteen, and the third ten thousand pounds. "It's splendid decoration of the Queen wearing the day of coronation.
***
But "cult" wedding gowns starting in the XIX century. Before the bride does not necessarily acquire a special dress for the ceremony, they could serve simply the most elegant dress. Or, if the dress still specially sewn, then it could put on any other grand event, especially since the dress could be many different colors. Preserved even English poem, proverb, which dealt with the fact that the bride, if she chose a dress a certain color. Approximate translation goes like this: "White - has chosen correctly, the blue - love is present, yellow - be ashamed of the groom, red - would prefer to die black - wanted to come back, gray - will be a long journey, pink - he will always think of you, the green - the bride does not want (shame), to have seen it. "
Very often, when it comes to whites, who are classical, wedding dresses, you can hear that it all started with the wedding of Queen Victoria in 1840. However, it is not so. In a white dress of Brittany Anne married King Louis XII in 1499, and in 1810 in White was Marie-Louise of Austria, the second wife of Emperor Napoleon.
***
Often the bride's monarchs went to the altar in a silver brocade - for example, Elizabeth, daughter of King James I in 1613, or Caroline of Brunswick, became the wife of the future King George IV in 1795, and their daughter - the princess dress was of silver, "Lama" over the mantle of white silk.
***
In white married not just princesses and aristocrats. Since 1790's, when fashion went sharply on ways to simplify, and instead of bulky dresses women began to wear simple dresses with high waist and the most common tissue became white muslin, wedding dresses, too, accordingly, often there were only whites (so, for example, dress was the niece of the famous British writer Jane Austen). But when fashion has again started to thicken in the 1820th years, white wedding dresses are becoming more common.
***
Rather, thanks to Queen Victoria (and the beautiful Eugenie Montijo, who in 1853 became the wife of the Emperor of France Napoleon III), the white color of these dresses are not just coming into fashion, it is gradually replacing all the other colors. Very often cite American magazine "Godey's Lady's Book" for 1849 in which about bridal fashion as follows: "According to tradition, preserved from ancient times, the most appropriate color - white. White - the symbol of girlhood innocence and pure heart, which gives the maiden chosen one ".
Though married, both then and now is not always come in white, with the words "wedding dress" in mind there is a snow-white outfit. It was such a magical and white, and it was Victoria's dress, which became a "classic genre ".
Here's how it described in a diary queen herself:" For me it was a white satin dress with a flounce of lush honitonskogo laces, such as did in the old days. I put on my Turkish diamond necklace and earrings, as well as a wonderful sapphire brooch from Albert ".
These laces that make near the town of Honiton - this is probably the most famous lace England. Lace booked some studio Jane Bidnyi of Bir village in Devon, famous lace, and she has organized the work of their odnoselchanok. To create a piece of lace size 137h76 cm hundred lace worked half a year! Immediately after the completion pattern of samples have been destroyed, so no one can do the same lace as the wedding dress of a queen. Victoria, but money for the work lace-maker told me to send a separate fee to those celebrated her marriage, and the very Miss Bidnyi invited to the wedding. Well, it might well be proud of their work, lace was a true work of art.
***
If the wedding dress itself was at the Victoria and royally beautiful, but rather elegant than luxurious - white satin, a strip of fine lace dress and a diamond brooch, gift of the groom - then, when after twenty-three years to marry Alexander's Danish, which became the wife of the eldest son of Queen, the future Edward VII, impressed the outfit its luxury.
Alexander future legislator British fashion, wore a white satin dress, skirts which, according to the then fashion, supported by crinoline. It was decorated with "garlands of myrtle and orange blossom and ruffles of tulle and lace honitonskih. So was trimmed from the tail of the "silver moire.
Famous lace four tiers of lush almost closed skirt-bell. And some of them had made a long veil and handkerchief. The pattern on the lace portrayed cornucopia and floral Symbols of the United Kingdom - rose, shamrock and thistle. It was planned that the dress will be out of Brussels lace, but ... is considered insufficient patriotic.
bride was literally heaped with jewelry - diamond earrings and a necklace, a brooch of diamonds and pearls, diamond necklace - a gift from the Corporation of London, a bracelet made of opals and diamonds - a gift to the Queen, a diamond bracelet, presented a gift to the ladies of the city Leeds, another bracelet of opals and diamonds, a gift from the ladies of Manchester.

Tekskaya Princess Mary was first engaged with the senior grandson Queen Victoria, the Duke of Clarence. For the wedding dress was woven silk with a special pattern of lilies of the valley. (The mother of Princess, the Duchess Tekskaya, was the granddaughter of King George III, the family mostly lived in England, so it's no surprise that the dress going to do as much as possible, "English"). Alas, just a half months before the wedding, in January 1893, the groom died. Amazing fabric remained unclaimed.
wife Maria in the end his younger brother late (not so uncommon in royal families), the future King George V.
pattern for the fabric again booked in the same shop as before, and there developed fifteen options. All sketches have survived until now. One of them, in the form of roses, shamrock thistle flowers, lily of the valley and orange blossom used for wedding attire, and the rest - for the dowry of Princess. In white satin intertwined flowers, woven of white silk and silver threads, so that the fabric shimmered in the motion.
train of though was long but very simple, without decoration, front dress decorated with three of the shuttle of the same precious honitonskih laces, they were also decorated with a corsage and short sleeves. But this time there was no hasty order lace-maker - in the same lace married mother Mary, Duchess Tekskaya, now they've inherited.
***
When in 1923 Lady Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon married a son of Queen Mary, Duke York, the future King George VII, her dress of watered silk, sewn dressmaker Queen, Madame Handley Seymour, it was ivory. It was not so beautiful as "trendy." In the Times it later described as "very simple".
It does not encircle the figure, and looked quite baggy. Its decorated two plume one of which came from the hips, while the second fell in with the shoulders. The color was not chosen by accident - the Queen Mary Tekskaya daughter gave a long veil of old Flemish lace, so that the fabric had to match them by color.
***
In 1938, the official royal couturier Norman Hartnell became, famous for its stunning evening ball gown. Already his first wedding dress earned the nickname "the eighth wonder of the world, and it is not surprising what appealed to him the celebrated writer and author of the novels of Barbara Cartland ladies, when getting married in 1927 And in 1936 he was first invited to Buckingham Palace - preparing for the coronation of George VI, and Hartnell ordered to dress for the maids of honor of the queen.
said that the King George showed him the hall with the portrait painted Franz Winterhalter (1805-1873) - artist, famous in his time great women's portraits (once it without reason called "the king's painter," Winterhalter portraits of representatives of the highest European aristocracy, including queens and princesses). Beauties in the luxury dresses with fluffy skirts in the fashion of the mid XIX century inspired Hartnell - indeed, he later found inspiration in the works of artists of the past, from Watteau to Renoir.
When in 1947 the daughter of George, Princess Elizabeth, the future Elizabeth II, married a Philip Mountbatten, Hartnell turned again to painting. In his autobiography he wrote: "I do the rounds of London's museums, inspired by classical paintings, and, fortunately, found what he needed - a girl from the painting by Botticelli in flowing along the body silk, ivory, studded with flowers of jasmine, asparagus, and tiny buds of white roses. I thought that all this flora in modern dress can be recreate with crystal beads and pearls. "(This is the dress of Flora in the painting" Spring ").
in severe post-war period is not so easy to create splendid dress, even if it comes to the princess. She contributed additional one hundred cards for clothes (in the course was still rationing) - well, the future Queen, first and foremost, a citizen of their country. And if all the clothes on the card, and a princess - is no exception.
in England is simply impossible was to find as many pearls (but Hartnell was needed more than ten thousand pearls), and had to be ordered in the U.S.. Silk commissioned in Scotland, and there were rumors that he is from the "enemy silkworms", or Japanese, or Italian. Scandal. Fortunately, it turned out that silkworms were Chinese ... Perhaps Hartnell then had to regret that he did not use, as suggested by the Queen Mother, an English atlas. But he was very tight and shiny, and Hartnell saw the future of dress more gentle. So it turned out. "A richly embroidered white satin gown shimmered with every movement. The tissue were scattered bouquets of orange blossom, jasmine and the White Rose City. They cleverly linked up with ears of wheat, symbol of fertility. Embroidery has been made of pearls and rhinestones ".
***
When thirteen years later, Hartnell make a dress for her younger sister Elizabeth, Princess Margaret, it will be, on the contrary, "the most simple dress in the history of the royal wedding. "But the Princess Margaret married not even a nobleman, and then, in 1947, the crown was the future queen of England. required to pay had to be luxurious.
Two months of work, twenty-five seamstresses, embroiderers ten ... Its sewn in an environment that is called the greatest secrecy. All Hartnell was given a subscription employees to disclose information, and the windows in his studio and painted white muslin curtains tight. Dress no one would see before the ceremony! Naturally, all dying of curiosity, and journalists trying to get her through bribery - not the designer, of course, and his staff. But they did not succeed. All that he saw one of the reporters, it's like the studios of the day before the wedding took out a huge box - it sent to the palace.
Dresses Eight bridesmaids, too, were good - though not at the expense of tissue, but due to cut. These ladies, including his sister Elizabeth, Princess Margaret, and their cousin, Alexander Kent, used all their cards for clothing to adequately look at the wedding (wedding dresses present at the ladies were supposed to be long). Their dress, too, were sewn in the studio Hartnell, but used the tulle, which is sold without the cards. But it embroidered with tiny stars, and corsages decorated big satin bows. Hair decorated with a small wreath made of white lilies, pink "stellate" Saxifrage flowers, white satin and silver Lama. Well, this was the case when the options are limited, but there is a desire and ability to use them at full force ...

If it is about weddings representatives of the British crown, there is still one dress, which should be mentioned, and which, thanks to modern media information, see and know almost everything. Moreover, it has been the subject of admiration and emulation, pattern "fairy princess dress." This dress Lady Diana Spencer, who in 1981 became the wife of the son of Queen Elizabeth II, Charles, Prince of Wales. It may or may not like, someone finds it too lush and ornate, some magic - the main thing is that it has already taken its place in the history of the royal wedding as "the wedding dress of the century".
His created a couple of young (he was twenty-nine, she was twenty-seven) designers David and Elizabeth Emanuel. Their fashion house opened in 1979, and some things are so pleased with Lady Diana, what spouses Emmanuel she chose when they started talking about marriage. While they wore it, and then their customers are other members of the royal family, and they are very popular so far (although, individually, as subsequently divorced, as well as their famous client) wedding dress for future Princess of Wales was the peak of their careers. Had to create something extraordinary.
In 2006, a quarter of a century later, Elizabeth and David released a book "Dress for Diana", which gave a detailed account of the history of training on dealing with the princess showed sketches, photographs, etc. Separately, was released a special edition of one thousand copies - of each book is attached to the sample material from the same roll of silk from which it was sewn dress. Elizabeth wrote: "Once we learned that we bought a dress, I immediately began to conduct research, studying all the books describing the royal wedding. The dress was supposed to be such as to go down in history, and also likes Diana. Since the ceremony, as we knew, had to pass in the Cathedral of St. Paul, the dress was supposed to fill the aisle, and to be quite impressive. I drew a lot of thumbnails, and we all sat on the floor and watch them. Came to her mother. So the choice is, in fact, did not take much time, especially since we knew that might please her. But the manufacturer of the dress It took forever, especially when you consider that it is strongly grew thin ".
plume dress was really impressive - more than seven and a half meters, the longest trail in the history of the royal wedding of Britain.
David wrote: "She [Diana] was engaged. She was worried. And asks:" Do you think train long enough? - My dear, I think, more than enough. - What is the longest? - We will get longer, "- and made longer." Perhaps even lengthen? "It was a joke. It was magical ".
But the trail really looked impressive on the steps of the cathedral, the designers had hoped. However, they do not take into account other - The size of the carriage, in which Diana went to the altar. Plume had tightly folded, so that as a result both he and the hem of her dress were crumpled. But this was seen only in the vicinity, also became irrelevant - dress really made a stunning effect.
It would seem, because of the huge plume dress would have to get quite heavy, but, according to one of the curators of the exhibition, which has recently demonstrated this historic outfit on Actually it is quite easy. To make your wedding day not to step on the hem and train, the bride had a long practice with the help of two sheet ...
labored over a dress, David, Elizabeth, and their collaborators (seamstress Nina Missetzis wedding day Diana helped to dress), and even his mother Elizabeth - when working on embroidery.
silk, pale ivory taffeta was woven on a farm at Lullingstone Castle. She dotted the thousands of pearls and pearl sequins. This was the main fabric - but only, given the trim, for clothing, used six different tissues. Ruffles on the bodice was of lace, which belonged to my grandmother Queen Elizabeth, Mary Tekskoy - "something old", according to accept. "Blue" was sewn into the belt bow, and her mother Diana has asked to add to it a golden horseshoe with a small diamond - "for luck." At the magnificent veil took many meters finest fabrics. Satin shoes are also embroidered with pearls, dress five small bridesmaids, who were from five to eleven years, were also of a light cream taffeta.
As David recalls, they had to hire two security guards, that nobody else was able to penetrate into the studio - Diana's dress before the wedding caused a huge stir. "Photographers crowded the sidewalk, were everywhere paparazzi, including the roofs, and they sent the lenses on our windows ".
official order from Buckingham Palace had been received, it looked as if it was a personal request of Diana. One, occasionally with her mother, she came to try on - the designers have given their already well-known client was the code name "Deborah". According to Elizabeth, three months of hard work on the dress were among the happiest days of her life.
A dress ...
"I always imagine a butterfly which resets the cocoon. "On that day, July 29, the butterfly cocoon dropped in front of millions of viewers around the world. And let the fairy tale did not work - hard marriage, divorce, and, finally, the death of Lady Diana - an attempt to create it still was. And to no small extent this played a role in that same dress ... "Thus," it probably will remain forever.
PS ... personally for me a dress of Diana just does not like. IMHO ...
Channel.
Imagine that you tell about someone's wedding ...
What question will certainly ask the woman, indifferent to fashion?
likely "and what was the bride ?"...
dress (maybe with a train, or crinoline, or with all at once - and, perhaps, on the contrary, quite simple), veil, tiara or a crown (or hat?), jewelry, shoes - oh, what scope for the imagination! For many, their wedding day - is perhaps the only one in a lifetime opportunity to feel princess.
But this princess, those who tested the pea, as in Andersen's fairy tale, is also getting married!

Though married, both then and now is not always come in white, with the words "wedding dress" in mind there is a snow-white outfit. It was such a magical and white, and it was Victoria's dress, which became a "classic genre ".
Here's how it described in a diary queen herself:" For me it was a white satin dress with a flounce of lush honitonskogo laces, such as did in the old days. I put on my Turkish diamond necklace and earrings, as well as a wonderful sapphire brooch from Albert ".
These laces that make near the town of Honiton - this is probably the most famous lace England. Lace booked some studio Jane Bidnyi of Bir village in Devon, famous lace, and she has organized the work of their odnoselchanok. To create a piece of lace size 137h76 cm hundred lace worked half a year! Immediately after the completion pattern of samples have been destroyed, so no one can do the same lace as the wedding dress of a queen. Victoria, but money for the work lace-maker told me to send a separate fee to those celebrated her marriage, and the very Miss Bidnyi invited to the wedding. Well, it might well be proud of their work, lace was a true work of art.

In 1938, the official royal couturier Norman Hartnell became, famous for its stunning evening ball gown. Already his first wedding dress earned the nickname "the eighth wonder of the world, and it is not surprising what appealed to him the celebrated writer and author of the novels of Barbara Cartland ladies, when getting married in 1927 And in 1936 he was first invited to Buckingham Palace - preparing for the coronation of George VI, and Hartnell ordered to dress for the maids of honor of the queen.
said that the King George showed him the hall with the portrait painted Franz Winterhalter (1805-1873) - artist, famous in his time great women's portraits (once it without reason called "the king's painter," Winterhalter portraits of representatives of the highest European aristocracy, including queens and princesses). Beauties in the luxury dresses with fluffy skirts in the fashion of the mid XIX century inspired Hartnell - indeed, he later found inspiration in the works of artists of the past, from Watteau to Renoir.
When in 1947 the daughter of George, Princess Elizabeth, the future Elizabeth II, married a Philip Mountbatten, Hartnell turned again to painting. In his autobiography he wrote: "I do the rounds of London's museums, inspired by classical paintings, and, fortunately, found what he needed - a girl from the painting by Botticelli in flowing along the body silk, ivory, studded with flowers of jasmine, asparagus, and tiny buds of white roses. I thought that all this flora in modern dress can be recreate with crystal beads and pearls. "(This is the dress of Flora in the painting" Spring ").
in severe post-war period is not so easy to create splendid dress, even if it comes to the princess. She contributed additional one hundred cards for clothes (in the course was still rationing) - well, the future Queen, first and foremost, a citizen of their country. And if all the clothes on the card, and a princess - is no exception.
in England is simply impossible was to find as many pearls (but Hartnell was needed more than ten thousand pearls), and had to be ordered in the U.S.. Silk commissioned in Scotland, and there were rumors that he is from the "enemy silkworms", or Japanese, or Italian. Scandal. Fortunately, it turned out that silkworms were Chinese ... Perhaps Hartnell then had to regret that he did not use, as suggested by the Queen Mother, an English atlas. But he was very tight and shiny, and Hartnell saw the future of dress more gentle. So it turned out. "A richly embroidered white satin gown shimmered with every movement. The tissue were scattered bouquets of orange blossom, jasmine and the White Rose City. They cleverly linked up with ears of wheat, symbol of fertility. Embroidery has been made of pearls and rhinestones ".

When thirteen years later, Hartnell make a dress for her younger sister Elizabeth, Princess Margaret, it will be, on the contrary, "the most simple dress in the history of the royal wedding. "But the Princess Margaret married not even a nobleman, and then, in 1947, the crown was the future queen of England. required to pay had to be luxurious.
Two months of work, twenty-five seamstresses, embroiderers ten ... Its sewn in an environment that is called the greatest secrecy. All Hartnell was given a subscription employees to disclose information, and the windows in his studio and painted white muslin curtains tight. Dress no one would see before the ceremony! Naturally, all dying of curiosity, and journalists trying to get her through bribery - not the designer, of course, and his staff. But they did not succeed. All that he saw one of the reporters, it's like the studios of the day before the wedding took out a huge box - it sent to the palace.
Dresses Eight bridesmaids, too, were good - though not at the expense of tissue, but due to cut. These ladies, including his sister Elizabeth, Princess Margaret, and their cousin, Alexander Kent, used all their cards for clothing to adequately look at the wedding (wedding dresses present at the ladies were supposed to be long). Their dress, too, were sewn in the studio Hartnell, but used the tulle, which is sold without the cards. But it embroidered with tiny stars, and corsages decorated big satin bows. Hair decorated with a small wreath made of white lilies, pink "stellate" Saxifrage flowers, white satin and silver Lama. Well, this was the case when the options are limited, but there is a desire and ability to use them at full force ...

If it is about weddings representatives of the British crown, there is still one dress, which should be mentioned, and which, thanks to modern media information, see and know almost everything. Moreover, it has been the subject of admiration and emulation, pattern "fairy princess dress." This dress Lady Diana Spencer, who in 1981 became the wife of the son of Queen Elizabeth II, Charles, Prince of Wales. It may or may not like, someone finds it too lush and ornate, some magic - the main thing is that it has already taken its place in the history of the royal wedding as "the wedding dress of the century".
His created a couple of young (he was twenty-nine, she was twenty-seven) designers David and Elizabeth Emanuel. Their fashion house opened in 1979, and some things are so pleased with Lady Diana, what spouses Emmanuel she chose when they started talking about marriage. While they wore it, and then their customers are other members of the royal family, and they are very popular so far (although, individually, as subsequently divorced, as well as their famous client) wedding dress for future Princess of Wales was the peak of their careers. Had to create something extraordinary.
In 2006, a quarter of a century later, Elizabeth and David released a book "Dress for Diana", which gave a detailed account of the history of training on dealing with the princess showed sketches, photographs, etc. Separately, was released a special edition of one thousand copies - of each book is attached to the sample material from the same roll of silk from which it was sewn dress. Elizabeth wrote: "Once we learned that we bought a dress, I immediately began to conduct research, studying all the books describing the royal wedding. The dress was supposed to be such as to go down in history, and also likes Diana. Since the ceremony, as we knew, had to pass in the Cathedral of St. Paul, the dress was supposed to fill the aisle, and to be quite impressive. I drew a lot of thumbnails, and we all sat on the floor and watch them. Came to her mother. So the choice is, in fact, did not take much time, especially since we knew that might please her. But the manufacturer of the dress It took forever, especially when you consider that it is strongly grew thin ".
plume dress was really impressive - more than seven and a half meters, the longest trail in the history of the royal wedding of Britain.
David wrote: "She [Diana] was engaged. She was worried. And asks:" Do you think train long enough? - My dear, I think, more than enough. - What is the longest? - We will get longer, "- and made longer." Perhaps even lengthen? "It was a joke. It was magical ".
But the trail really looked impressive on the steps of the cathedral, the designers had hoped. However, they do not take into account other - The size of the carriage, in which Diana went to the altar. Plume had tightly folded, so that as a result both he and the hem of her dress were crumpled. But this was seen only in the vicinity, also became irrelevant - dress really made a stunning effect.
It would seem, because of the huge plume dress would have to get quite heavy, but, according to one of the curators of the exhibition, which has recently demonstrated this historic outfit on Actually it is quite easy. To make your wedding day not to step on the hem and train, the bride had a long practice with the help of two sheet ...
labored over a dress, David, Elizabeth, and their collaborators (seamstress Nina Missetzis wedding day Diana helped to dress), and even his mother Elizabeth - when working on embroidery.
silk, pale ivory taffeta was woven on a farm at Lullingstone Castle. She dotted the thousands of pearls and pearl sequins. This was the main fabric - but only, given the trim, for clothing, used six different tissues. Ruffles on the bodice was of lace, which belonged to my grandmother Queen Elizabeth, Mary Tekskoy - "something old", according to accept. "Blue" was sewn into the belt bow, and her mother Diana has asked to add to it a golden horseshoe with a small diamond - "for luck." At the magnificent veil took many meters finest fabrics. Satin shoes are also embroidered with pearls, dress five small bridesmaids, who were from five to eleven years, were also of a light cream taffeta.
As David recalls, they had to hire two security guards, that nobody else was able to penetrate into the studio - Diana's dress before the wedding caused a huge stir. "Photographers crowded the sidewalk, were everywhere paparazzi, including the roofs, and they sent the lenses on our windows ".
official order from Buckingham Palace had been received, it looked as if it was a personal request of Diana. One, occasionally with her mother, she came to try on - the designers have given their already well-known client was the code name "Deborah". According to Elizabeth, three months of hard work on the dress were among the happiest days of her life.
A dress ...
"I always imagine a butterfly which resets the cocoon. "On that day, July 29, the butterfly cocoon dropped in front of millions of viewers around the world. And let the fairy tale did not work - hard marriage, divorce, and, finally, the death of Lady Diana - an attempt to create it still was. And to no small extent this played a role in that same dress ... "Thus," it probably will remain forever.
PS ... personally for me a dress of Diana just does not like. IMHO ...
