The ivory lace wedding gown, which is still an inspiration to British brides in the country took six long months to make.

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.
