Fairy Wedding Dress

Royal Wedding

It's been three months since Wills and Kate tied the royal knot, and one week since the new Duchess of Cambridge's $405,000 Sarah Burton for Alexander McQueen wedding dress went on display to the public at Buckingham Palace, with a presentation the Queen herself called "horrid." Well, the Queen has hit the road to her other palaces and the Summer Opening of the Palace means anyone can come see the gown, the shoes, the tiara, the earrings, the bouquet and the cake . We did...and survived. So what's it like?

To reach the dress, you must first tolerate a slow walk through the State Rooms of the Palace. We can think of worse things to be doing, so chillax. The gown sits in the very center of the ballroom, and it's definitely more light in there than the preview pics make it seem. The viewing is relaxed; you can either sit to watch a 15-minute video of Sarah Burton describing the production of the gown in technical terms (be prepared to hear "satin gazar" a jillion times) or continue around to get within 5 feet of the fabric itself.

No pictures are allowed inside , and an annoying black net forms a perimeter around the gown, though we understand that it wouldn't be great for a thousand tourist sneezes to give the dress a fine glazing.

Getting right up in front of the dress to space out (as we did) is easy; it's admiring the shoes that presents a challenge. The case for the earrings, bouquet and heels are the same and it's the smallest display in the place. Thus, the crowds can be four people deep. Have patience. The cake gets its own room; no rush there.

So how would we describe the dress? Not "horrid," dear Queen, but something closer to ethereal . It feels as though you're gazing upon some fairy raiment--a gown given mystery by a sprinkling of pixie dust, not by a mortal woman wearing it once. The teeny-tiny waist size just backs this up; seeing it in person gives not only gives a deeper appreciation for the craftsmanship of such a garment, but also for Kate's svelte silhouette.

What to Wear to see "The Dress" : · There's no need to get gussied up. You're going to be guided around amongst hundreds of tourists, resplendent in their fannypack style and safari vests. Dress comfortably, but nice enough that you feel confident and pretty. There will be moments of walking up or down grand staircases, and through gilded rooms; don't neglect to feel those moments for yourself.
