Hi everyone! If there something that you buy exclusively from one brand and none other, just like the Queen does? P.S.: if you have missed the video on the 10 fashion rules in the royal family, here it is: kzbin.info/www/bejne/epucmYiPg6xsea8 Have a wonderful Sunday!

[@SarahBright]

No, I don't buy anything exclusively from one brand.

[@nataloves]

I only buy clothes from Mango, have been for years. Purses and bags only from Paul's boutique.

[@idatan3054]

I only buy shoes from Ecco (except for special occasions). It’s become a bit of an obsession, I’m afraid 😂

[@Poppy-]

I have been buying Fulton umbrellas for over 15 years now. I tend to stick to good/liked brands for years.

[@ba-kj1fx]

I buy my clothes exclusively at COS. Underwear triumph.

[@anciiie]

Now i can't get rid of the image of the queen doing a "what's in my bag" video 😂😂😂😂

[@freyatorrini5841]

Me too!

[@darkangelsl3732]

anciiie 😂😂😂

[@arguchik]

I'd watch that!

[@dudswoo]

It would probably be very short!

[@Sandcastleprincess]

God I would love that. I don't know I find those videos so addictive but I do!!

[@kuroneko1125.]

Anecdote time: I only buy my bras from the Italian brand Lovable (decently priced underwear brand); they're so good that I once bought a bra to match my bride's maid gown and my bra lasted more than that marriage XD

[@jagodakarlsson9054]

I'd wish you'd shown queen's fashion/style journey throughout the decades.

[@mojcakoman2598]

I've hoped this to

[@lu59999]

she said it was overall consistent so I don’t think there would be much to show

[@Jettypilelegs]

@@lu59999 she had amazing style in the40s and 50s, though her sister Margaret could be more free and her clothes were gorgeous.

[@kattatonic1]

The blister on my heel from my new shoes is the telltale sign that I am merely a peasant. I must hire someone with the same size feet to break in my shoes from now on!

[@justineleconte]

Yes 😁

[@wilmaknickersfit]

First though the shoes are hand made just for you. 😉

[@Victoriacariad]

She doesn't hire someone specific btw :P It's just a member of the household who happens to have the same size feet as her lol.

@@Victoriacariad Heh heh! No, I didn't think so.

[@louise-yo7kz]

😅🤣😂

[@darianaid9908]

Her purse once fell to the floor somewhere and people got to see what was inside. It was something like glasses, pen, handkerchief, lipstick and a purse hook. And she does carry money when going to the church to make donations

[@lise891]

So, basically everything you'd expect to see in a purse to any older lady.

[@sunshine_veevs]

So sweeeet!

I need to somehow convince the queen to adopt my favorite lipstick and hair products so they would never be discontinued.

[@ladykokob9149]

Clarins has the Royal Warrant for skincare and cosmetics .... the Queen wears their lipstick.

What lipstick do you wear?

I love how positive and kind you are & don't criticize anyone - so refreshing.

[@patricianorton3908]

Wow!! Will you ever cease to amaze me? I’ve occasionally thought what can she talk about now, that I’ll find interesting? I’m 77 yrs old and do not find "all things fashion" terribly fascinating. "Some things fashion" I'm enthralled.🥴🤗 🥰 This video is a winner. Thanks, Justine, Patricia from N.H. 👵🏻

[@marieobrien8492]

I find German classic clothing is very good quality, brands like Gerry Webber and Betty Barclay..idont mind spending a bit more as they last a long time especially the winter season stuff

[@hazelmeldrum5860]

The habit of wearing something old something new something borrowed and something blue is followed by most UK Brides and the blue is often in the special garter the bride wears on her leg.

[@poziomkax5985]

Yes , brides in UK follow for a good luck this custom but don't know why blue ? . Dark blue colour in UK is called Royal blue, or Trafalgar blue.

[@angelan8374]

In U.S. we do also

[@vxika]

Mexico too!

[@WouldntULikeToKnow.]

In the US we do too. My heels were my "something blue". They were also my "something old" because I purchased them second hand!

[@jayneterry8701]

Canada too lol

[@lozzylols]

I can't imagine how you can plan your outfits so far in advance, I even struggle to choose each morning as I swear I wake up with a different body each time, sometimes flat stomach, sometimes bloated, sometimes I just want something baggy! Although she often wears a coat over top, I'm sure the queens dresses are all of a comfortable fit these days!

[@karyannfontaine8757]

I love Queen Elizabeth and she looks amazing in her bright colours. I admire her loyalty to the fashion designers she patronized. Thank for this fabulous video.

[@suzanneturquette8949]

kary ann Now the Queen has an in-house designer, Angela Kelly.

[@inthenow8249]

Justine, this is another great video. FYI: The "something old, something new, something borrowed, and something blue" tradition is not just for royal weddings. It's a popular idea throughout the English speaking world for members of every class.

[@jayneterry8701]

I only knew the saying but not the why of each.😀

[@itsemily1995]

Imagine being so extra you match your umbrella to your outfit.

[@minagica]

With bespoke umbrellas to boot XD

[@minagica]

[@usa4287]

[@Victoriasm31]

Apparently the Queen has a fountain pen, a handkerchief, mints, a makeup compact and her reading glasses in her handbag.

[@rameyzamora1018]

I read some time ago that she also smokes and has cigarettes and a lighter in the handbag! Wonder if that's apocryphal or not.

[@LMoon20]

Rigby & peller have lost their royal warrant as the owner wrote a book and mentioned a conversation she had with the queen in the book. Big mistake......you don’t talk about private situations with royalty. Their royal warrant was revoked.

[@sarahschrock3511]

There is a wonderful book "Dressing the Queen" that talks about how her wardrobe is planned, designed and cared for. Published in 2013, her lead dressmaker, Angela Kelly, is the author and there are so many good stories and photos, including one of all those famous umbrellas hung up like a rainbow.

[@ekaterinakozlovskaia8082]

Thanks a lot! Will definetely check it out!

[@anuka5336]

"Isn't it practical?" I just love that last sentence, idk why, just the way you said it :)

[@Eniramoi]

The coronation dress is so beautiful! The symbols of Northern Ireland, Wales, Scotland and England are embroidered on it, that's such a wholesome idea

[@blaithinomahony9160]

Her Majesty is truly beautiful inside and outside. She is full of grace and elegance.

[@ginnyosborne3304]

The queen is classic yet her own style being colorful and fun too!

[@aleksandramaecka4195]

I wear only one kind of panties. It's from a Polish brand Wolbar and it is made mostly of cotton so it's breathable, laser cut- so it's without any rubber band or seams and so it doesn't irritate me. I'm so sensitive to that kind of things that when i found them, i never looked back. I hope they never discontinue.

[@soyashachhantyal6319]

👍

[@isabellelaval7294]

I live in France and I've never seen this brand in the stores. Do you find their products in the States?

Polish brands of lingerie/underwear are the absolute best! I wear Comexim.

As always, this video & the one about the rules for British royals were superb - entertaining & informative in equal measure. I especially enjoyed this one because I’m reading “The Gown” by Jennifer Robson, which uses the queens wedding dress - also designed by Norman Hartnell - as the backdrop for the stories of two women who embroidered the gown - one French & one British woman. Textiles are one of my great loves especially those of such beauty & intricacy if that gown. Thank you, Justine. 😍

Hi Justine, I'm really enjoying your channel, thank you! The Queen's dresser, who also designs many of her outfits, is Angela Kelly. Mrs. Kelly has written two books; Dressing The Queen: The Jubilee Wardrobe and The Other Side of the Coin: The Queen,The Dresser and the Wardrobe. I've only read the latter but it's very interesting and gives much insight into how Her Majesty's clothes are organised as well as ceremonial regalia and jewels and conservation of heirloom items. Well worth reading.
