Kate's 'magical' wedding dress draws rave reviews

Kate Middleton and an army of highly skilled seamstresses wowed fashionistas around the world Friday with an Alexander McQueen wedding gown that experts called a timeless classic.

After months of secrecy about what she would be wearing, Kate Middleton entered Westminster Abbey in an intricate McQueen wedding gown designed by Sarah Burton, a nearly three metres long train and a decades old Cartier tiara borrowed from the Queen.

With an estimated 2 billion people watching worldwide, Kate took only a few steps from the Goring Hotel into the Queen's Rolls Royce VI with her father,replica gold bracelet cartier, Michael, at her side. A special barrier was set up around the hotel so that onlookers and photographers couldn't catch a glimpse of Middleton's dress.

Minutes later, her ivory gown was finally revealed when the father and daughter arrived at Westminster Abbey.

While walking down the long, carpeted aisle, Middleton's dress,replica gold love bracelet cartier, with its lace applique for the bodice and skirt, were showcased, but Clarence House provided specific details on the bride's outfit for those who had waited months to see what is now one of the most talked about dresses of the decade.

The dress was inspired by the Middleton family's new coat of arms,replica cartier pink gold love bracelet, which includes acorns and oak leaves, a theme that was also included in the bride's pave set diamond earrings. The jewelry was a gift from her parents.

The bride chose the British brand "for its craftsmanship and its respect for workmanship and the technical construction of clothing," according to a statement from Clarence House.

Each piece of Middleton's dress was handmade by the Royal School of Needlework.

The design was applied by hand and individual flowers were hand cut from lace and applied onto ivory silk tulle in an intricate procedure.

Clarence House reported that the workers washed their hands every 30 minutes to keep the lace and threads pristine, and the needles were renewed every three hours to keep them sharp and clean.

The lace came from various sources, so each piece of material was carefully picked to ensure every flower was the same colour. The fabrics were selected after extensive research by Burton's team.

The train, carried by Middleton's sister and maid of honour, Philippa, was 2.7 metres long.

Her veil was crafted out of layers of ivory silk tulle and a trim of hand embroidered flowers.

A team of six stylists led by celebrity hairdresser Richard Ward left Middleton's hair down. Atop her glossy brown tresses, Middleton wore a "halo" tiara made by Cartier in 1936, which was purchased by King George VI for Queen Elizabeth. It was presented to the Queen, who was Princess Elizabeth at the time, by her mother on her 18th birthday.

Her satin shoes with hand embroidered lace were also handmade by a team at Alexander McQueen.

Her bouquet was made of lily of the valley, sweet william and hyacinth flowers arranged in a shield shape. The flowers were said to symbolize a return of happiness, gallantry and love.

The myrtle was also carried by Queen Victoria when she married in 1858.

International fashion experts, from Karl Lagerfeld and Donatella Versace to British Vogue editor Alexander Shulman, praised Middleton and Burton's efforts, with some calling the outfit "magical."

"What an amazing dress; it was perfect for the bride and sent out so many fantastic messages. I felt very moved when I heard it was McQueen: a designer acknowledged as being brilliant to design a royal wedding dress has never happened before," Shulman wrote in a piece on the magazine's website.

"The veil is a little flat, but because she has such a lovely face,replica cartier gold bracelet with screws, she can afford to wear it this way.
