Princess Elizabeth had first been dressed by Hartnell when she and her sister, Princess Margaret Rose, were bridesmaids at the 1935 her uncle wedding the Duke of Gloucester to Lady Alice Christabel Montagu Douglas Scott.
As custom decreed, the dress was made by a British couturier, in this case, the distinguished and conservative court dressmaker Madame Handley Seymour. Its design was closely on the basis of a dress created by the Parisian couturier Jeanne Lanvin, whose romantic designs accorded with the taste of Lady Elizabeth of Glamis. In her portrait by Beck and Macgregor, her profile is framed by the upstanding fur collar of her coat and by a velvet hat trimmed with ostrich feathers, Vogue announced the engagement of Lady Elizabeth Bowes Lyon to His Royal Highness the Duke of York in March 1923. While speculation over Catherine Middleton’ s dress has apparently consumed lots of the fashion world, Vogue takes a longer view. We look back at a century of royal brides and their style choices, as chronicled in the magazine.
Lady Diana Spencer looked to relatively unknown designers David and Elizabeth Emanuel, recently graduated from the Royal College of Art when she wed Prince Charles in Lady Diana was first introduced to the Emanuels’ work when she wore one of their feminine blouses for a Vogue sitting with Lord Snowdon. With its ’25 foot long’ cathedral train and frothing ruffles fulfilled the public fantasy of a ‘fairy tale’ princess, the Emanuels’ wildly romantic Victorian wedding dress. Cecil Beaton, exclusively photographing the bridal couple and reporting on the day for Vogue, noted that the dress gave the bridetobe the fluted lines of a Chinese statue of an early century. Definitely nothing could’ve been further removed from the majesty and romance of these royal brides’ choices than the austere dress and jacket of Wallis Blue a very strong forget me not blue that set off her eyes and her ‘sapphire and’ ‘diamondclip’ that Wallis Warfield chose when she shocked the world by wedding the Duke of Windsor in The Duke had certainly renounced his throne to marry the woman he loved.
She was, definitely, under no obligation to dress British even for her wedding, Wallis wore pieces by Schiaparelli and Mainbocher for the portfolio of engagement photographs taken earlier by Beaton. Instead she looked to the Chicago born, Parisbased couturier Main Bocher, whose own rigorous feeling of expensive, disciplined elegance was perfectly attuned to her own. She could’ve the dress of their dreams because In the face of postwar austerity, hundreds of brides to be across the country sent Princess Elizabeth their clothing coupons. Fearing that no British museum should accept, she later gifted the dress to the Costume Institute of the Metropolitan Museum of Art where it resides to this day. The entire look was an apt complement to the soaring perpendicular arches of the Abbey’s inspiring architecture and to a storied setting that saw its first royal wedding in 1100 when Henry I of England married Matilda of Scotland. With that said, with its dress of silver lamé embroidered with seed pearls suggesting a medieval Italian robe, in June of that year, Vogue published an elaborate drawing of the wedding ensemble that she chose, veiled in lace lent by the groom’s mother, Queen Mary,.
