residences: the Palace of Holyroodhouse, Edinburgh (April – October 2016), Buckingham Palace, London (August – September 2016), and Windsor Castle, Berkshire (September 2016 – February 2017). Combined, these three exhibitions make up the largest display of The Queen’s dresses ever mounted. In addition, they chart significant events in The Queen’s life and the history of her reign through an unprecedented collection of dresses, jewellery and accessories, ranging from childhood through to the present day. The Queen’s support of British couture and millinery will be highlighted by many of the 150 exhibits, including creations by renowned designers including Sir Norman Hartnell, Sir Hardy Amies and Ian Thomas.
