Had to laugh at these photos of the “royal ladies” resembling items of crockery. grin

The Queen’s hat is uncanny! I know it’s the Wedgewood Blue that does it but...

The trouble is Wedgewood Blue is such a lovely colour.

A lovely lighthearted piece of research.

I think that designers are copying the patterns on vintage crockery! I already noticed that some fabrics resemble old wallpaper patterns.

Glad you liked it Nfk I thought it was so clever how they found outfits to match what must be clearly, their favourite pieces. wink

Thank you Gilly, it was fun to look at.

"I'm a little teapot" made me laugh out loud. What a lovely, light-hearted article. It's started my day off beautifully.

Blimey - they really must be desperate for royal stories!

That wedgewood hat looks lovely.

Why include Kitty Spencer though

A jovial start to the day gilly I had a pair of curtains that matched the teapot.

Very amusing post, clever how they matched up the patterns.
Floral patterned dresses are obviously ''in'' but you can go SO wrong with them.

Maybe you should have them made into a new frock glamma seems like matching your outfit to your crockery is all the rage grin

Anniebach - Or Pippa!

That's cute! Though I was rather hoping for some royals dressed like Mrs Potts and Chip, from Disney's Beauty & The Beast. grin
