About the book

Dressing the Queen by Kate Strasdin is a biography.

Royal laundresses, corset-makers and professional feather curlers: the hidden story of the people who designed, sewed, stitched and steamed the clothes of Britain's queens, from Victoria to the present day 'A truly wonderful and fascinating book!' Lady Anne Glenconner The hidden story of the people who designed, sewed, stitched and steamed the clothes of Britain's queens, from Victoria to the present day.

From tours and walkabouts to the dazzling spectacle of a wedding or Coronation, the clothes worn by royal women have always been a fascination. Starting with Queen Victoria and moving to the modern Elizabethan age, DRESSING THE QUEEN shows the incredible craftmanship and painstaking effort that go into the making of what is known as the 'Royal Wardrobe', from handmade boots to Crown Jewels; country tweeds to delicate stockings.
