Kensington Palace have recently opened a new exhibition showing a selection of dresses worn by the Queen, Princess Maragret and Princess Diana. This sounded like the perfect combination of beautiful dresses and Royalty so I decided I should definitely investigate.
The Queen's dresses were my favourite, dating from the 50s and 60s and timelessly classic in their style.
This is one of Princess Margaret's favourite dresses...I think it would probably feature at the top of my wardrobe too!
Bit of winter coat inspiration!
This is my favourite. I want it. It isn't a style much in fashion any more, but somehow it doesn't look too dated. The Queen looks absolutely beautiful in the footage of her wearing it, and she had such a tiny waist!
I wore my grandmother's wedding dress (made in 1958) for our wedding which had a similar shape - a bodice that came in to the waist and a long full skirt. Although when I first saw it I wasn't sure if it might look a bit 'vintage' as soon as I put it on I fell in love with it. Obviously a wedding dress is something to fall in love with anyway, but I love the princess-y feeling to the dress and the very feminine shape - accentuating the waist and lengthening the legs.
Maybe I'll try something similar for my next ball gown!
