MINIATURE ROBES
PRINCESS AND CORONATI6N Princess Elizabeth, first female heir to the Throne to take part in the Coronation of her parents, will wear a miniature velvet robe of peeress’s rank, states the ‘ Daily Express.’ This will be a tiny kirtle of scarlet velvet, edged with ermine, designed on coat lines, a cowl of ermine, and a modified train. It is the most comfortable of all Coronation dress. Women of the Royal Family usually wear a train, clasped on the shoulders. It would bo difficult for the 10-year-old Princess to handle a long train, dragging it heavily over steps and the long Abbey aisle. At the. Coronation of George V. the 14-year-old Princess Mary got into difficulties with hers. A magnificent 10ft of scarlet velvet and ermine, it was a wearying job for her to catch the train and balance her coronet. Her coronet fell just as she entered the Abbey. It is the first time Princess Elizabeth has worn a coronet. A light, simple one is being made for her. Her dress beneath the kirtle will be white, high-waisted, and frilly. She will wear white stockings, white slippers, and long white gloves..
