I'd just been admiring this 1954 William Dargie portrait of Queen Elizabeth II, when I noticed the yellow challenge. This dress was inspired by the Australian wattle. I still can't find who designed it. Any ideas?

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.

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.

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.

Check out http://www.nma.gov.a...en-elizabeth-ii for a full length photo of the Queen wearing the dress. Just gorgeous.
