After an apparently bumpy ride in her gold carriage, the late British sovereign almost had a wardrobe malfunction because of her dress, and even risked breaking her neck because of her heavy crown. For her special day, Queen Elizabeth’s dress was designed by British fashion designer Norman Hartnell. It was made of white satin, embroidered in gold and silver thread with the emblems of the UK and the Commonwealth, and decorated with pearls.
