I was fortunate enough to see this exhibition. My two favourite dresses were. The Queen of Zenoba Fancy Dress Ball gown, designed by Worth for the then Duchess of Devonshire. And a marvellous purple dress (cut on the bias), designed by John Gilliano for Givenchy. 🥰

Wow, this would be amazing to see.

The then Duchess of Devonshire was Mistress of the Robes to Queen Mary. One evening when the Duchess had worn the big family tiara at a royal event Queen Mary had complained to her about the weight of her own tiara. The Duchess later said 'The Queen doesn't know what a heavy tiara is. '

Outlandishly cool

I enjoyed this immensely
Yet I believe a..... SERIOUS critical evaluation of ones Wardrobe ...
Will not define individually.
Maybe I missed your stiff upperlip humour ?
I loved her chicken handbag. Hahaha oh laughing .

[@lowesonia8551]

Surprised by Stella Tennent accent!Fabulouse history to be enjoyed by everyone who desire to visit. Tamish pointlessly repeated the previous lady remarks on detailed oddities.Of the late Duchess, famous Mitford Sister.

She's dead

[@franm.8343]

@Nothing2SeeHere Stella Tentant, a former model, was the granddaughter of Deborah (Mitford) the late Duchess of Devonshire.

[@elderlypoodle9181]

Hahaha!!!! Lol

[@normalil]

The modern designs are trash compared to the wonderful traditional dresses and jewels.

[@teeburanahirun5234]

Spectacular jewelry collection. Wonder how much of it was plundered from India?

[@MegaPokemon1997]

Not all diamonds came from India you know

[@kcompanion6988]

I bet none of the diamonds shown in this video came from India but rather from Africa. How embarassing!

[@nothing2seehere34]

Your phone is ringing.

[@cesarbugarini499]

Update.... The Indians came to Paris with boxes and literally gave their legacy to Europeans jewelers, ... Either by artistic permission or underperformed military excerices. You too are fruit of victory's plunder... And again resold their lagcy to se Europeans when they needed the money 🙈

[@michaelmontagu3979]

Strangely enough not everything comes from India!

[@nllove7937]

Ahh I see the all seeing eye is represented again on this tiara as well. Boy they were really not trying to hide their evil spirit.

[@cesarbugarini499]

Get a new conspiracy to hawk 😩

[@patriciaoreilly8907]

Trying too hard the video was very messy awful music . Basically bloody awful it gave me a headache.

[@jennyvanniekerk9600]

[@franm.8343]

English Aristocracy.
