The Wattle Dress

I'm not saying for sure, but I think Norman Hartnell was the Queen's designer for many years. This is a stunning LO - the blending is absolutely perfect.

Beautifully done!!

This is beautiful, Eden! Popped right out me on the MB - just lovely. I really like how you used yellow and your gorgeous blending... Just lovely.

Just beautiful! Your blending makes this a stunning LO.

I agree this is beautiful, it jumped out as the first think I noticed when I went into the forum. It is by Norman Hartnell; I searched Queen Elizabeth yellow dress and got this link. Look under the second image.

Stunning is right! Love the way you blended the photo and I love the blingy accents! Thank you for joining the challenge!!

So pretty!!!! I love it when folks scrap about things they love.

According to 'Wikipedia': Dargie depicts the Queen wearing a Norman Hartnell mimosa gold tulle dress adorned with sparkling gold wattle motifs. So you were right Hilary.

 

This is a beautiful portrait and you did a fabulous job on the layout. Love your blending and all the bling that you added. The Australian Wattle is a beautiful flower and the Queen's dress is absolutely gorgeous.
