In this image, we delve into the regal history of the past as we admire the stunning wedding gown of Princess Alice of Albany, worn during her marriage to Prince Alexander of Teck in 1904. The soft, flexible satin mouselline fabric of the gown is both elegant and timeless, with a voluminous skirt that boasts an impressive long train. The skirt is adorned with cascading white chiffon roses, intricate needlework foliage, and Louis Seize velvet bows studded with diamonds, adding an air of opulence and grandeur. The gown also features a chenille fringe, frills, poufs, and flutings of white chiffon, as well as a satin bodice and small chiffon sleeves with bouillons of tulle sewn with brilliants around the decolletage.
