0Exhibition will explore the late Queen's fashion
Across the gallery, mannequin after mannequin is dressed in some of the most memorable outfits of the Queen's life.
Her wedding dress has been painstakingly restored, and there are shows of diplomatic dressing. The 1950s ball gown from her first state visit to America, and a glittering gown for a visit to India, adorned with lotus flower motifs.
Also on display, her peach-coloured dress from the opening ceremony of the 2012 London Olympics. Alongside it is a replica created for the stuntman, who was her body double to parachute into the stadium.
Each item tells a story. Many mark significant events in British history. Others show the more private, dressed down moments of a monarch who was an early fashion influencer.
