Dear Adele, et al, Combinations, indeed. My grandmother, born 1880 wore them. With a corset. Anyhow... Don't forget that Elizabeth II also has a staff specially trained to care for her clothes. Combine that with the proper fit, carefully calculated, the best fabrics, no short staple fluff there! and voila. And possibly the wrinkle-free mojo.
For lace content, I wonder if she'd be willing to wear handmade lace incorporated into her outfits. What she has on could easily be translated into a guipure of some sort. And the Honiton ladies should have a field day. Making jabots for the head of Parliament is a wonderful endeavor, but having the Queen wear handmade lace is an advertisement that is unparallelled. I assume this has been tried? Lyn in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, USA, where it's going to be 91F 29.5 C. And we leave for France and OIDFA tomorrow. I have made the OIDFA Outfit with special pocket for a lace hankie. Dorset buttons that could be counted as needlelace, maybe. And I even mounted the Flanders edging and it's ready to wear. OhboyOhboyOhboy Adele wrote: Some people just have wrinkle-free mojo. I think probably the Queen wears traditional wool, silk, linen, and cotton. And better-quality fabrics develop fewer wrinkles. So I think she's just got a winning combination. (pun intended for people who know what combinations are) and she never ever has a crease from sitting down! http://i2.mirror.co.uk/incoming/article940892.ece/ALTERNATES/s615/Queen+Elizabeth+II+leaves+a+Service+of+Thanksgiving+in+Saint+Macartin%27s+Cathedral+in+Enniskillen "My email sends out an automatic message.
