The Dress: A History UPDATED AGAIN

Susan talks about her hopes for Kate's wedding dress and gives us glimpses of other royal wedding gowns so that we can see how today's dress follows (or doesn't) the tradition of other British Royal Wedding gowns.

UPDATE:  The Royal Family has posted short videos on YouTube if you missed the first appearance of The Dress.

By the way, Vicky has done a wonderful summary of how stitchers are celebrating.  Me, I'm going to pull out my fancy scissors with the Diana Blue emery strawberry with a sterling top and the sterling silver frog charm and stitch a little in honor of the Newlyweds.  Good fortune to them.

Last UPDATE:  Susan as usual has the last word about The Dress, Veil and Jewelry.  Thanks very much for putting this all in context, Susan.

Ok, I lied.  One more UPDATE.

And another, but this one with a video of a historian talking about prior Royal Wedding dresses, is not to be missed.
