Tomorrow I’m off on Minors On Tour on a very well deserved holiday, but in the meantime, I made sure to go and see the Queen Elizabeth II clothing display at Buckingham Palace.
What an absolutely brilliant treat it was (thanks M&J for the tickets!), with QE2’s wedding dress, coronation gown, christening gown, army uniform and off duty country gear all on display amongst hundreds of outfits many of us had only seen in photos.
Although it’s pretty much sold out, if you get a chance, go and see it in person. I promise even if you’re not a vintage fashion sort of person, the history and construction of all the garments is utterly fascinating.
Ps. My outfit is a 60s twin set, accessorised with a 60s Babycham brooch and plastic 60s earrings and a pair of Clarks V&A shoes. Not as glam as Liz, but nice to be out of heavy knits and coats!
