Discover Royal Women at Fashion Museum Bath: Princess Margaret / Series

#RoyalWomen #PrincessMargaret #Dior #NormanHartnell
Find out more about two dresses once worn by Princess Margaret, sister of the late Queen Elizabeth II, which are now in the collection of Fashion Museum Bath. Curators from the Fashion Museum were invited to visit Kensington Palace, where the princess lived at the time, and invited to choose dresses for their collection. The first dress featured was created in 1952 by Christian Dior. The second dress was created by designer to the Royal Family, Norman Hartnell in 1953.
