ROYAL ALLIANCES.
.
THE DRESSES.
The wedding dress is of white satin almost perfectly plain, but perfect in style, entirely covered by the superb veil made, on purpose for the Princess at Bayeux. It is three metres in length, and is composed of white Chantilly lace ornamented at the bottom with a flowered border. The centre is plain, but in the middle of the back the branches of foliage spread out to make a frame for the Royal arms of France, the shield of the Aostas, and the white cross of Savoy.
A coronet of orange blossoms, arranged by Auguste Petit, will be worn on the head, and the veil will be fastened on each shoulder and caught up at intervals on the dress by the same flowers. The bridesmaids, the Princesses Louise and Isabelle, will wear pale blue with white hats.
The Court dress made by Worth consists of a train of turquoise-blue velvet, bordered round the edge with blue ostrich feathers ; there are two dresses to wear with this train, one of white satin with large white chiffon sleeves in which blue is blended, and a cloth of silver with a splendid lace border around the bodice. This superb dress is to be worn on State occasions. The Princess is a great horsewoman, and she has provided hrself with numerous riding habits, covert coats, &c. These have been furnished by Basoine.
The wedding dress comes from Paris from the Maison Froment.
King Humbert has given his nephew a villa near Turin, and has sent four magnificent saddle horses for the bride and bridegroom. The Pope has sent a sacred relic studded with diamonds and other jewels set in gold.
The Aosta Diamond Tiara was worn later from the Duchess of Aosta, Claude de France on her pre-wedding dinner and an her wedding day.
