| V&A flyer for 2009 exhibition |
I went to an exhibition on at the V&A Museum in London 2years ago showcasing Grace Kelly's clothes over her life time. Grace Kelly was a real life Princess who went from the film industry to marrying Rainier 3rd, Prince of Monaco.
She was a style icon since she started starring in films from the age of 20, her last being High Society before she married. In High Society she plays a princess, appropriately as she was about to become one, but she still portrayed the same grace and elegance in her films as she then did in her real life. It's said that Kate Middleton's wedding dress of last year was stylised after Grace Kelly's, and I think what makes them so beautifully classic is that they look detailed due to the lace used but there's not visible embroidery on them, so perhaps this is more how real life princesses differ from make believe.

I think it would be interesting to look into using lace along with embroidery to enhance and make princess costumes more elaborate and detailed compared to stage show versions of their costumes.
