Royal wedding: Kate Middleton's dress to go on public display


Now there is happy news for the millions of us who swooned over the Duchess of Cambridge's fairytale creation. The wedding dress is to go on public display, allowing visitors to examine its every intricate detail.

The dress, designed by Sarah Burton of Alexander McQueen, is expected to become one of the capital's biggest tourist draws.

Possible venues include the State Rooms at Buckingham Palace, which open to the public in the summer, or Hampton Court Palace, where a team from the Royal School of Needlework helped in its creation.

The Victoria & Albert Museum, which has a world-renowned fashion department, is also a consideration.

A Clarence House spokesman said: "The Duchess of Cambridge is considering a number of options to give members of the public the opportunity to see, close-up, the skilled British craftsmanship that went into the making of her wedding dress by Sarah Burton and her team as well as the Royal School of Needlework."
