Kate Middleton's Wedding Dress and Tiara Go on Display

Fans of Princess Catherine's iconic wedding dress - nine-foot train and all - will soon have a chance to see it in all its glory. The dress, designed by Sarah Burton at Alexander McQueen, will go on display when Buckingham Palace opens for tours from July 23 to Oct. 3. The "whole ensemble" of dress, the Cartier "Halo" tiara, earrings, veil and satin and lace shoes will be on view, as will, over at the Mews, the Rolls-Royce Phantom VI and 1902 State Landau coach that carried Kate to and from Westminster Abbey. Kate chose McQueen "for the beauty of its craftsmanship and its respect for traditional workmanship and the technical construction of clothing," the Royal Collection, which runs the display, says in a statement.
