Hello, all - I feel like some of the people on here must know some details that can be shared with all...
With all the media coverage of the new prince and such, I read a fact that I think I already knew - that the famous royal christening dress originally made for Queen Victoria's children and featured with beautiful pictures in Royal Honiton Lace by Elsie Luxton and Yusai Fukuyama (book is right here by my side) and worn by many royals for about 150 years was "retired" in 2004 and a new version was created. I assume to be a copy of the original. When this new one was made, was there Honiton lace made by hand used for it? Was anyone on here involved in the creation of the lace for the new dress? Does anyone know anything more about the dress and its lace? Prince George will not be the first to wear it - I think there have been two or three others already. Also, is the original christening dress on display anywhere or is it truly "safely packed away," as one article I read stated.
