THE Queen's dressmaker, Angela Kelly, has revealed that "months of preparation" went into creating two identical dresses for the monarch's starring role in the Olympic Opening Ceremony. Kelly explained that not even those making the pieces knew why two of the same design were required - as Danny Boyle's plans were kept shrouded in utmost secrecy. With other members of the royal household, she attended the state funeral of Queen Elizabeth II on 19 September 2022. [14] Other work [ edit ] According to the Royal Collection Trust, top couturier Norman Hartnell's design for Elizabeth's wedding dress was approved in August of 1947, just three months before the wedding took place. Good Housekeeping reported that 350 women worked on the dress over a span of seven weeks. Inspired by Botticelli's Primavera, the dress had hand-embroidered, pearl-encrusted flowers blooming all over it. More than 10,000 seed pearls spangled the dress atop silk spun by silkworms from China, since Japan and Italy were Britain's enemies during the war.Hallemann, Caroline (18 July 2020).

The dressmaker has also disclosed other royal style secrets, such as how the Queen taught her to "squeeze" a fabric sample to test how badly it creases before deciding to use it, or how hemlines of coats and dresses should be weighed down to avoid any embarrassment in windy conditions. Kelly founded a fashion label, Kelly & Pordum, with Alison Pordum, who was also employed as the Queen's in-house dressmaker until 2008. [15] Kelly is also the author of Dressing the Queen: The Jubilee Wardrobe and The Other Side of the Coin: The Queen, the Dresser and the Wardrobe.

The newspaper described the queen's outfit as a white chiffon dress with a bodice embroidered with orange California poppies, California's state flower. The queen also opted to go without a tiara. Her penchant for symbolism displayed within her clothing, brooches, and jewelry paved the way for other prominent female royals and politicians including Princess Catherine and former U.S. Secretary of State Madeleine Albright.After conducting his research at a museum and a library in London, Hartnell retreated to Windsor Forest to start sketching. "My mind was teeming with heraldic and floral ideas," he recalled in his 1955 memoir Silver and Gold (via Harper's Bazaar). "I thought of lilies, roses, marguerites and golden corn; I thought of altar cloths and sacred vestments; I thought of the sky, the earth, the sun, the moon, the stars and everything heavenly that might be embroidered upon a dress destined to be historic."

Her "wattle dress" was a gold tulle gown adorned with golden wattles. Australia's national flower is the golden wattle, so the dress was recognized as "unambiguously patriotic," per the National Museum of Australia.
