Queen Elizabeth Cutbacks Lights Material Dress

Queen Elizabeth cutbacks lights material dress- Queen Elizabeth had one word for the display of royal bride Kate Middleton’s wedding dress at Buckingham Palace on Friday: “Horrible.” During a walk-through of the summer exhibition, which features the royal wedding gown, shoes, tiara, and even the couple’s multi-tiered cake, the queen examined the dress, which is shown in the dimly-lit ballroom, with the tiara and veil floating above it.
Press Association, the only outlet that followed the Queen and her new granddaughter-in-law, the Duchess of Cambridge, on their private tour of the show, reported that the monarch was “spooked” by the display. The duchess was wearing a Joseph crepe de chine “Athena” dress that retails for 180 pounds, or $293, and Jim Choo “Lovely” shoes that retail for 330 pounds, or $538.
“The monarch led the way and, with her hands clasped behind her back, strode into the ballroom and stopped about 10 feet from the dress with Kate standing beside her.
“As the pair chatted, the pitch of the Queen's voice raised and she said ‘horrible’ and then ‘horrid.’ It appeared the mannequin's lack of a head may have perturbed the Queen, who added: ‘It's made to look very creepy,’” the media outlet reported.
The duchess took a more diplomatic tack, saying the dress display had a “3D effect.” She already saw the display earlier in the week when she joined some of her wedding party for a private viewing.
Buckingham Palace was responsible for curating the show, “The Royal Wedding Dress: A Story of Great British Design,” which opens Saturday and runs through October 3, A McQueen spokesman declined to comment on the Queen’s reaction.
