You can see them in Diana’s bouquet, all strung together on a wire, forming some of the cascading elements of the bouquet. Stephanotis flowers are rarely used today, as the fashion for DIY and hand-tied bouquets in the 2000s rendered them unsuitable. They are best handled by professionals...I hope they make a comeback!

[@elizabethredmond5517]

16:59 It notably took place at St. Paul's Cathedral, not Westminster Abbey, since the wedding was enormous and meant to befit a first in-line to the throne male. A prince of Wales hadn't been married while he held that title since the reign of Victoria, so St. Paul's was considered the larger and more theatric option.

Unpopular opinion, but I thought even back then that Diana's dress was absolutely dreadful. It was a wrinkled mess by the time she arrived at St. Paul's, and it just swallowed her whole. The overall image was that it was just too big for her. She couldn't walk gracefully in it, it was a terror to manage..overall just too. much. I guess in the end, a fitting metaphor?

[@faycourt3892]

The TV viewing of the royal wedding of Diana and her prince made her dress look dull and sort of dowdy - it was NOT! I saw it in Brisbane when it was on the tour of Australia and found it stunning, gorgeous and utterly charming. For instance, her veil had tiny crystals scattered throughout it and it complemented her dress beautifully. One didn't see that on the screen. The dullness was caused by it not being white, plus TV did nothing to bring out the pearls or crystals, but in real life it was the loveliest wedding dress I've ever laid eyes upon. Diana was a romantic and wished her wedding gown to reflect that ideal; it did in every way possible and I'm sure she felt like a princess in it on her big day, and isn't that part of being a bride?

[@stoker1931jane]

It was a truly global phenomena. I watched the Charles & Diana's Wedding live on BBC/Dutch tv - my Mom & I were glued to tv set. And her giant wedding dress (Diana was "only" 9 years older than me) fitted my idea of what a princess should look like. And also was the real beginning of 80's "overkill" (big is better). And went perfectly with the whole "fairy tale" dream wedding...that slowly became a nightmare...😔

I’m glad in real life it was prettier because it didn’t translate well on tv and pictures. I was so disappointed and let down when my family and I, who were on vacation that week in Colorado, got to the hotel and turned on the tv and saw the news of the wedding. I was sitting on the bed and when I saw it, I thought yuck! All that hype for weeks and weeks about what it was going to look like and then to see what I called a monstrosity. The only thing I liked was the train and the veil, because I was all about wedding dresses with long trains in my youth. But if you say it’s prettier in real life, I’ll take your word for it.

[@tastx3142]

Yes, and nobody bothered to adjust the hemline as the underskirt was exposed on the side. The dress was so oversized it basically swallowed her. The dress doesn’t have to be form fitting but it was basically shapeless on her.

[@spiritmatter1553]

The volume of the dress succeeded in making her look petite, not like she was nearly six feet tall, so that’s something. She also lost a lot of weight during the engagement so the dress needed constant fittings beyond the usual needed for a custom dress. Silk taffeta is prone to wrinkling easily (and it’s a bee-yotch to handle and sew), so some people saw the wrinkles of just a characteristic of the material and not a detriment. Silk shantung or slubbed silk would have been more seasonally appropriate and wrinkle resistant, and is a similar weight to taffeta but more "forgiving" to handle. Funny it wasn’t chosen instead. The Emmanuels didn’t have a backup wedding dress on hand in case the design of the original was leaked. That was a rumor that was spread at the time of the wedding that they later repudiated. Funny that the story was repeated by the "fashion historian."

The dress by the Emmanuels is nearly identical to the one they made earlier that year for a friend of Charles's, whose wedding C&D attended.

She was quite young when she married (19 when she got engaged, 20 on wedding day). I've often noticed very young brides tend to choose gowns that fit their childhood's fantasy of a wedding dress, which is likely what Diana did as well.

[@vaivaivaiful]

@@Lovrofthearts Also, it was very much in line with 80's trends

[@stormy7318]

Frumpy, bag like, wrinkly. It almost looked like it was pulled out of the garbage. I always thought it was just poor taste of the 80s but maybe your theory is right. Someone intended to make her look less royal. Interesting theory. But jokes on them because she's the people's princess and her wonderful personality made women everywhere want to be just like her. Frumpy dress included. Lol

[@deborah85728]

Lovely post ! My biggest criticism is that the Queen has always dressed in her own style , she is tiny , high fashion suits the tall and her hair is styled for the heavy tiaras she wears . I don’t think Stylish Jackie O out dressed her at all , both ladies looked fabulous in the real life photos .

HM The Queen was 5 foot 4 inches.

[@CarolynMilburn]

My favourite gown was the one worn by Princess Margaret. I saw photos of the wedding on TV as a young teen in England. My Mum took my brother & me up to London to visit Westminster Abbey right after and they had a small bouquet on the steps before the alter! I was thrilled. I have always thought that an immature Diana wanted all the bells & whistles on her gown and went a bit overboard so that the gown almost drowned out her own beauty which she discovered as she matured.

I love the pink gown and jacket Princess Margaret actually wore. When I finally saw Princess Diana's dress in person I was surprised at how small it was! Those sleeves always looked massive on TV! No mater I was more shocked at the number of condolence books 😢 that were part of the display.

[@stoker1931jane]

Having watched the Charles & Diana's Wedding live on BBC/Dutch tv - my Mom & I were glued to tv set. It was a truly global phenomena. And her giant wedding dress (Diana was "only" 9 years older than me) fitted my idea of what a princess looked like. And also was the top of 80's overkill and went with the whole "fairy tale" dream...that slowly became a nightmare...😔

I had to stop the video around 7:20..when they said the dress was old fashioned..I am an American and I must say Queen Elizabeth has rocked every dress she has ever worn..in my opinion she has and always will be a fashion icon. It is a privilege to have been born and grown up in a time when she is queen of Great Britain and I'm not much of Royal watcher.

She's always been rather dowdy, and I've never, ever heard of her being considered a fashion icon. Jackie was the fashion icon.

Elizabeth's second dress may have a 50s feel but fashion doesn't automatically change at the turn of the decade. It kind of fades in and out and 1961 would still have been appropriate to wear some 50s fashions, especially since people really loved the New Look. Plus, fashion would have taken a lot longer to evolve then since there wasn't social media which has made fashion a lot faster.

[@melvawages7143]

Emma looked so much like Diana. Although she could not really pass as her twin, she sure could as her sister. Emma said in one interview that her mother looked a lot like Diana. I wish she would share photos of her mother.

The dress worn by Queen Elizabeth to the White House with The First Lady Jackie Kennedy, in my taste it looked frumpy, fussy and those dress straps were added unnecessarily, maybe only to support the Queen's well endowed chest. Jackie was slick, chic and super elegant. Queen looked like a christmas tree, to many ornaments !

[@deborah85728]

I think the Queen ‘s dress suited her small statue and sorry those ornaments are fabulous , I would not say no to one of them .. If you got them wear them especially if you are a queen . They both looked different but great , each in their own way .

[@jaslavie]

Princess Margaret's portrayal was very interesting. I do understand that in real life, her behavior at the Whitehouse was far more subdued, but she did indeed have a fun loving spirit about her. That was accurate.

[@JagoffCitizen]

The the Queen's outfit for the investiture of the Prince of Wales (worn by Olivia Colman, 1:01) has been interpreted with a lack of feel for the original line, so that the finished piece ends up looking like a 70s Dr Who costume.

[@lauras5359]

Probably because fashions change and it was shortly post ww2 so there wasn't enough money to make a dress that extravagant. tbh I way prefer the Queens dress to Diana's

[@monmothma3358]

It used to be dated, but the trends of early 1980s have recently come back around. Puffed sleeves, blouses with big collars... I don't know if it has affected bridal fashion, but coinciding with the popular show, it just might.

HRH's dress became very dated when silhouettes changed vastly with Dior, Princess Anne's very structured dress is hideous now, etc...they were all beautiful in their time.
