I’m not a royalist and certainly not for a Royal family not my own, but I did watch the wedding because I wanted to see Kate’s dress.

In the category ‘What we wore’ you can find old fashion oriented programs from as far back as 1957! ‘Men, women and clothes’, a 6 part program is especially interesting if you are in historical costumes and vintage clothes. It shows the fashions between 1720 and [...] → Continue What we wore I love this outfit. I think the skirt is detachable so you can make 2 outfits with it.
