The Abbey is alive, with the sound of retro fashion
I just got off the phone with Rachel Leonard, fashion director of Brides Magazine, and she made an interesting point. We've been hearing all morning that Kate Middleton's dress is a return to 1950's elegance (finally, fitted sleeves instead of strapless!), but she drew a comparison to Julie Andrews' Maria von Trapp wedding dress in "The Sound of Music." Coincidentally, my first time in drag was at the Sing-a-long "Sound of Music," where I dressed as Maria von Trapp on her wedding day. So I can officially say I pulled off the look first, although I'll confess that my dress was not made McQueen.
