The wedding dress is likely to be a key attraction. Made of ivory silk and decorated with crystals and 10,000 seed pearls, as a symbol of new beginnings after the war. In that era, materials were still rationed so the Queen famously saved up clothing coupons to pay for the fabric. The dress featured a high neckline, fitted bodice and a 13-foot sweep inspired by Botticelli’s painting “Primavera”.
Sir Norman Hartnell, was a favourite of the royal family and created a lot of the Queen’s most memorable gowns. His designs often focused on elegance and tradition which aligned with the Queen’s timeless sense of style. Along with the wedding dress, the exhibition will also include other famous pieces worn during royal tours, state occasions and jubilee celebrations.
