Kate Middleton visits royal wedding dress makers in secret to say thank you

The Duchess of Cambridge has shown her gratitude to the women who were tasked with embroidering her wedding dress, by visiting them in secret to say thank you.

Although Sarah Burton at Alexander McQueen designed the dress, women who work at the Royal School of Needlework at Hampton Court Palace were asked to hand-stitch lace for the sleeves and bodice.

And it wasn't an easy job. The women were required to wash their hands every thirty minutes to ensure the lace was flawless. While the project was so secret that they had no clue that they were stitching the dress of the decade until just hours before the Royal Wedding last year.

The mammoth task didn't go unnoticed by Kate. 

According to the Telegraph, the Duchess met the women in private at the college last week.

"Catherine was keen to express her gratitude in person to the women who worked so hard on her dress", a close friend told the newspaper.

"She was very conscious of the pressure that they were under."

Another reason to love her!

  • I am confused about one thing that why do people(women) like too much the prom dresses.Designers always prefer to make this in bulk and women are always willing to buy this dress.Its amazing and surprising.

  • I too agree with you that one should always choose the dress wisely. The gown which suits your personality should be purchased so that you can look beautiful on the special day. The gown of the Kate is really awesome.

  • Kate Middleton's wedding dress was very simple yet so elegant. She looks stunning on it. It is an honor for the makers to be of service of the royal family and  be visited by the Duchess to thank them for it.
