A moment to remember in fashion history.
Kate Middleton wowed the world when she stepped out to the press in this stunning Alexander McQueen wedding dress, designed by Sarah Burton. It has a lace appliqué bodice and skirt, and veil. The bride wore her hair down, with a tiara.
The lace on the dress details a rose, thistle, daffodil and shamrock, and was hand-made by the Royal School of Needlework at Hampton Court Palace.
The bridal train measures 2m 70cm, and along with the lace, all other fabrics used in the creation of the dress were sourced from and supplied by British companies.
The lace motifs were pinned, "framed up" and applied with stab stitching every 2mm to 3mm around each lace motif.
Workers washed their hands every 30 minutes to keep the lace and threads pristine, and the needles were renewed every three hours to keep them sharp.
