Reeling the Silk for the Wedding Dress Train of Princess Elizabeth: A Glimpse into the 1940s Silk Industry This evocative photograph captures a moment in time at Lullingstone Silk Farm in 1947, as women skillfully operate antique reeling machines to produce silk thread for the train of Princess Elizabeth's (later Queen Elizabeth II) wedding dress. The future monarch's marriage to Philip Mountbatten on June 18, 1947, was a symbol of hope and renewal for a war-weary nation, and the meticulous creation of her wedding attire was a source of national pride. The silk industry held a significant place in the history of textiles, and the production process was a labor-intensive endeavor. In this image, we see the intricate mechanism of the reeling machine at work, with the women carefully guiding the raw silk threads through the machine, which winds them onto spools. The silk was then woven into fabric for the dressmaking process. The scene at Lullingstone Silk Farm represents the dedication and craftsmanship that went into the creation of the iconic wedding dress. The women in the photograph embody the resilience and determination of the era, as they worked diligently to contribute to this historic moment. The image offers a fascinating glimpse into the 1940s silk industry and the production process behind the creation of a royal wedding gown.
