This is a possibility for sure...she and her sister certainly dressed alike
into adulthood. But for me, I find it strange that a Worth gown would be copied
for two prominent Queens who might wear "IT" for very public occasions. Their
unique style of Dress was important to both these women. I am remembering that
the studio portraits are about a year apart and that Maud was "first".

Subject: Re: [h-cost] Queen Maud's wardrobeDo 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.

This gown is quite interesting. 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 aw
are
of the second model but have no idea as to whether it was the same gown fro
m
Worth (With minor additions) or a second etition.It seems a little strange
to
think Maud would have lent it to another promenent personage.?

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.
