The Wedding gown designed Norman Hartnell for Princess Elizabeth is of Ivory Duchesse satin, cut on classic lines, with fitted bodice, long tight sleeves, and full falling skirt. The heartshaped neckline is embroidered with seed pearls and crystal in a floral design. A full Court train of transparent ivory silk tulle is edged with graduated satin flowers which finally make up the deep border at the end of the train.
The Princess's travelling coat of Love-in-the-Mist blue velour has soft revers and rounded shoulders. Inset bands across the front are held with three buttons, and the skirt is flared to the modern length.
