The picture above is from the unique publication, in celebration of the Diamond Jubilee year, which explores how Her Majesty The Queen has stood out from the crowd on her many engagements and maintained her unfailing sense of style. Written by Angela Kelly, Personal Assistant, Adviser and Curator to Queen Elizabeth II, the book opens the door to the world of the Dressers’ Floor at Buckingham Palace and provides a first-hand account of the work of those directly responsible for The Queen’s wardrobe. The author tells the stories behind the outfits worn by Her Majesty for the many highlights of 2012, such as the Thames Diamond Jubilee Pageant, the Diamond Jubilee Concert and the London 2012, Olympic Games Opening Ceremony.
She takes the reader through the entire design process, from initial sketches and fabric swatches to the choice of accessories to complement the finished outfit.  The author explains how, once fabrics and design sketches are approved, a technical drawing is created from which the pattern is made.  A prototype or toile is often used to work out the detail of a difficult design, before a fitting with Her Majesty takes place.  Fittings, which may last half a day, involve work on four or five outfits, complete with hats.  The next time The Queen will see the finished garments is a day or so before an engagement, when she tries them on. On the day itself, The Queen’s outfit is prepared with a choice of brooches, a handbag, gloves, headscarf and shoes.  A precise record of the outfit worn to each engagement is kept in the Dressers’ wardrobe diaries.Dressing The Queen: The Jubilee Wardrobe by Angela Kelly
