I love her dress. She was really a beautiful bride. Thanks for sharing.

Very interesting. I only wish I had the talent and dedication to do such fine work. Sew, Sew Beautiful!

Kate and her dress are beautiful.

Thank you! I'm not really done with the Royal wedding yet :D:D
She is so lovely and looked beautiful. I just saw a mag in CVS and thumbed through it. I saw a picture of Prince Harry that really looked like his Mum, Diana- first time I ever thought he resembled her.
Thanks for the link!

Kate is a very fine lady, so is her mother and I wonder if her grandmothers were the same? Middle class doesn't mean to be odd. She as well as her wedding gown were out of this world, so beautiful!

Love the dress

how beautiful!

I made my DIL dress 15 years ago. It was beautiful (if I do say so). I hand-beaded and hand-stitched all the lace to the bodice, sleeves (which were sheer with lace appliques), hem and train. I used very expensive lace but only had to buy very small amounts of it because I cut it apart and designed the motifs. It probably cost about $400 to make but was well worth it. I also made her veil and headpiece (again with beaded lace). That's the hardest most challenging thing I have ever made but I was so pleased with the way it turned out. I wish I had a pic of it on my computer I could send. Maybe I'll try to find one.

OH, I would love to see a picture if you can find it, Congratulations on such a large project. I bet it looked stunning.
