The ivory lace wedding gown, which is still an inspiration to British brides in the country took six long months to make. In fact, the workers and designers were not allowed to talk to each other as they were working on the dress, in order to save time. They were also asked not to talk about the dress to public.

The expensive beads on the gown, which had to be deep-set were from Britain itself, but the pearls were imported from America and the silk for the gown arrived from China. The star and the flower motifs which are present on the Queen’s dress are still a popular choice for many modern English women.
