“At 11 A.M. precisely, Kate emerged from the car to give the crowds the spectacle they had patiently waited for. Traditional and yet modern, the dress, with its nipped-in waist and padded hips—a nod to McQueen’s signature Victorian style—had folds of beautiful ivory and white satin gazar. The satin bodice showed off Kate’s waist, while the skirt, with its pleats and drapes, resembled the opening of a flower, a theme which the bride had chosen for the wedding day and which extended from the Abbey, which had been filled with 30,000 flowers, to her multi-tiered wedding cake.” - Katie Nicholl, Vanity Fair 2011.
