Telegraph - Dresses reveal Queen’s ‘model-perfect’ figure
An exhibition of the Queen’s wardrobe at Buckingham Palace reveals that supermodel slimness is nothing new. By Hilary Alexander

God, just lookit the pictures.

The exhibition, curated by Caroline de Guitaut, is a stroll through fashion history.

It begins with the conventional, small-bodiced “crinoline” gowns of the 1940s and 1950s, moving on to the straight-line silhouettes of the 1960s and 1970s, often in geometric, coloured stripes or beading, then to the more traditional, but no less elaborately beaded gowns the Queen wears on state occasions today. The exhibition continues until Sept 24.

Crap. Just 62 days to rig an excuse to get to London.
