Secrets of the royal wardrobe: where Elizabeth II's clothes are stored

The Queen of Great Britain, Elizabeth II, is a cult personality, a style icon of an entire era. Her outfits are the embodiment of elegance and feminine modesty. Even today (at 94 years old!) she dresses with taste and does not forget about brightness. Of course, the wardrobe of the reigning person is created by a staff of assistants. Today we will find out how this happens and where the queen’s outfits are stored.

This procedure takes up most of the daylight hours. All assistants and Elizabeth II’s personal stylist gather in a separate room. At this time she provide 4–5 ready-made suitswhich require its approval.

The Monarch does not make major edits at this stage. Sticks to originally planned plans.

Where and how are the monarch's clothes stored?

Elizabeth's outfits are kept in strict order, protected from harmful insects, the harmful effects of sunlight and dust. Most of them cannot be altered or worn by the Queen due to age. Therefore, they are exhibited at exhibitions and donated to charities.

The images that were worn at significant events have historical value. They are stored in special boxes with individual markings.

Often, Elizabeth II's dresses are given to costume designers. They can wear them at any time or sell them at their discretion. An important condition is that no one should know that the dress belonged to Her Majesty. All tags, labels and individual marks are cut off from the item. The person also has no right of disclosure.

In books about the royal person it is often mentioned that her clothes are distributed to those in need. But sometimes dresses end up on sale. What happened at Sandringham. The outfit did not find the owner then.
