Date: 14 November 1973
Place: Westminster Abbey, London
Event: Wedding between Princess Anne and Mark Phillips
The dress is said to have been designed ostensibly by Princess Anne and executed by a team led by Maureen Baker.
The dress was made from silk with tight pintucking in the bodice to show her trim figure and included a high, collared neckline.
The sleeves of this dress were (and are!) a real talking point. They included enormous trumpet sleeves on the outside and puffed sleeves inside gathered at the wrist.
A nine-year-old Lady Sarah Armstrong-Jones (now Chatto), Princess Anne's first cousin, served as bridesmaid and also wore a medieval inspired outfit.
Anne wore a tiara loaned to her by her mother the Queen. In fact, it was the tiara that the Queen wore on her wedding day. Anne's veil was relatively short (for a royal bride) and the train had a silk gauze overlay
