In this image, we delve into the regal history of the past as we admire the stunning wedding gown of Princess Alice of Albany, worn during her marriage to Prince Alexander of Teck in 1904. The soft, flexible satin mouselline fabric of the gown is both elegant and timeless, with a voluminous skirt that boasts an impressive long train.
