Left: Queen Maud’s coronation soirée dress, 1906. Made of gold lamé covered with gold lace, and decorated with diamanté, pearls and garlands of silk roses and leafs. The gala gown was made by Morin-Blossier in Paris ( X )Right: The magazine L’Art et la Mode describing what Queen Maud wore under a state visit to France in June 1907. The golden Morrin-Blossier dress was worn for a dinner event at Elysée, and it looks like she also wore silk gloves, a metallic choker and a feather ornament in her hair. This depiction shows the dress in its original state; with puffed sleeves, while the current dress shows a lighter lace drape. This is a later alternation. The golden Morin-Blossier dress is described as follows: “Pour le diner a l'Elysée. Robe fourreau en drap d'or, recouverte de dentelle dans le ton; teintée d'or et rebrodée de perles et briliants. Guirlande très en relief de roses de differents ors“(For dinner at the Elysée. Fitted dress of a golden fabric, covered with matching gold lace and embroidered with pearls and briliants. Very raised garland of roses of different gold shades) -- source link
