However, casual royal watchers might not realize just how special Kate’s wedding dress was.

They used the Irish Carrickmacross technique to do so.

What was the skirt of Kate’s wedding dress supposed to look like?

Making a wedding dress for a princess is serious work.

While working with the lace, the Royal School of Needlework embroiderers were required to wash their hands regularly.

The embroiderers who worked on Kate’s dress did not know who it was designed by at first.

They found out only a bit earlier than the rest of the world.

One such embroiderer, Anne Butcher, added, “It’s a once in a lifetime chance.

We’ve worked as a team and we are pleased with the response to the dress.”

Savage said the last fitting was the morning before Kate Middleton and Prince Williams’s wedding.

After that, Savage and the rest of the team were able to secure the lace around the seams.

That night, the dress was finished.

“We then went to the pub for a drink!”
