Do you think it is one of those situations where they had gowns designed to be identical? Princess Alexandra of Wales (mother of Maud) and G.D. Maria Feodorovna of Russia (aka Dagmar of Denmark) did that even as adults, but they were sisters.

On one of the photo sites it is shown being worn by the Queen of Spain (Maud's cousin). I contacted the V&A and they were aware of the second model but have no idea as to whether it was the same gown from Worth (With minor additions) or a second etition.It seems a little strange to think Maud would have lent it to another promenent personage.? -----Original Message----- From: "otsisto" <[email protected]> Sent 1/5/2011 1:04:42 PM To: "Historical Costume" <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [h-cost] Queen Maud's wardrobeFound the black and white beaded on a list that shows the original Worth's design. http://thedreamstress.com/2010/02/rate-the-dress-queen-maud-of-norway-in-wor th/ De -----Original Message----- Had to see what you all were talking about: Maybe this was obvious but I didn't know who Maud was or what the S&S meant. http://www.vam.ac.uk/vastatic/microsites/1333_styleandsplendour/wardrobe/war drobe1.html <http://www.vam.ac.uk/vastatic/microsites/1333_styleandsplendour/wardrobe/wa rdrobe1.html>Wow - what a figure that woman had!
