Queens Dress Magnificent.
The Queens dress was magnificent.
II was of cloth of gold, veiled with
ivory white tulle. and the train was
of cardinal velvet, eighteen feet long
and lined with miniver. The robs
proper was finished i'm demi-train
style and opened in front I'm cutaway
coat effect To show the mass of Ouch
ess lace. The edges were scalloped
and faced with ermine and outlined
a pattern of leaves embroidered in
gold. The velvet sleeves were double
puns under narrow bands of ermine
The train was bordered all round with
am edging of ermne three inches wide
II was powdered with imperial crowns
embroidered partly i'm gittering plate
gold and partly i'm Chinese gold, the
crosses and feurs lis i'm what II
known as purl, the balls along the
arches of the crowns being made OF
gold studs and the bases of sparkling
silver threads The whole train was
surrounded by very rich golden bor-
der divided into three parts between
the first part of which and the ermlne
border was a strip of the velvet show
ing and making a fine contrast to the
fur and the gold The costume was
ornamentod with other elaborate gold
cmbroideries, and the tulle overdress
was embroidered with roses. thi'tles
and shamrocks. II finished i'm high
transparent collar of old lace, edged
with gold. The effect of the embroid-
cry was heightened by the alternate
use of glittering and dull gold me
whole effect was one Of dazzling
spiendor and II may truthfully be said
that no child's dream of royal ROBE
was ever more worthy of a queen.
