Re: [lace] lace dress for Kate
Hi Arachnids, Please find a full 'human' (well sort of ;-)) translation of the text that goes with Kate's lace dress at Madame Tussaud's Amsterdam. Enjoy. http://www.madametussauds.com/Amsterdam/OnzeBeelden/Royals/prinsesKate/Default.aspx Prince William and Kate Middleton met when they were studying History of Art at the University of St Andrew. As a spark alights between them they try with all their might to keep their young, blossoming relationship a secret, but the paparazzi lap up any detail they can get hold of. In 2006 their relationship flounders, but they miss each other and even decide to live together; most unusual for a prince. At their engagement in 2010 William gives Kate a very special present: the engagement ring of his dead mother, Lady Di. He says: “In this way she –Princess Diane- is also present”. On 29 April, 2011 the pair marries in Westminster Abbey in London. Kate wears a stylish, ivory coloured dress with lace, designed by Sarah Burton of the fashion house Alexander McQueen. Millions of people join in the wedding festivities either stuck to ‘the box’ or in reality London. William thanks the public by driving around in his blue sports car with his new bride at his side waving at the cheering crowds.. On the number plate it states ‘JUST WED’ Surprisingly William and Kate do not immediately leave for their honeymoon: only a week later do they leave for a private island in the Seychelles. For Kate, 2011 is also a glory year because she was chosen ‘Best dressed woman of the year’ by the magazine Harper’s Bazaar. The dress by Alice Temperley that is worn by the Kate look-alike dummy, was worn by Kate at the premiere of the play War Horse. Also with lace just like her wedding dress. It shows Kate from her best side ... With many thanks to you Jean for giving us the quick computer translation as I had no time to do this earlier. Happy lace making.

Hi all, Jopie wrote: PS. All quirks of grammar are straight translations from the Dutch, NOT my inventions. The translation is a pretty good one! But there is one important thing missing. Kant in Dutch means not only side, but also Lace. So the last sentence, in Dutch Het laat Kate van haar beste kant zien, can be translated as It shows Kate from her best side, but also as It shows Kate with her best Lace. That double meaning is shown in the dots after the sentence! Have a great Easter!

Re: [lace] lace dress for Kate
Hi all, Yes, kant can be translated as lace, but then it would have said ,,IN haar beste kant (in her best lace) and not ,,VAN haar beste kant (from her best side).

Re: [lace] lace dress for Kate
Hi Arachnids, Here is the URL for the Amsterdam picture of the black lace dress copy. http://www.madametussauds.com/Amsterdam/OnzeBeelden/Royals/prinsesKate/Default.aspx The text gives a short description of how Kate and William met and their engagement and wedding etc. Also that she wore this dress to the premiere of the play War Horse and that it shows Kate from her best side. Happy lace making, Joepie, East Sussex, UK -Original Message- From: lacel...@frontier.com Sent: Thursday, April 05, 2012 3:46 PM To: lace_arachne.com Subject: [lace] lace dress for Kate When browsing the Yahoo news page, I found an article about new wax figures of Kate and William at Madame Tussauds in London, New York and Amsterdam. The London Kate had her blue engagement dress (copy), New York had a lavendar dance dress (copy), but the Amsterdam Kate had a black lace dress (copy) very lovely. When I tried to copy the URL for you, it wouldn't let me. And then when I went back to the Yahoo home page, the article had disappeared. I tried searching for more information, I found only London and New York stories. The Amsterdam Madame Tussauds dutch languange site has a picture of Kate in the dress but I couldn't read any details. Maybe some of you can find the story. It was nice to see at least one figure wearing lace.
