As a member of the British Royal Family, Kate Middleton often has to attend a range of public events. Given her various public outings, the Duchess of Cambridge often wears formal skirts and dresses that are prone to blowing in the wind. But she always keeps her sartorial wit and elegance. Curious how she does it?
It seems the royal ladies – Queen Elizabeth and Kate Middleton – have a secret trick in the royal style department. This includes preventing their skirts and dresses from blowing up in the unpredictable windy situation. As two of the most eminent royals, they are said to have learned some ingenious fashion hacks that help them keep their balance in public.
According to Express.co.uk, insiders and fashion experts working with the members of the Windsor dynasty have devised a fashion hack to avoid embarrassing dress failures in public. The report states that it is common practice for the royal women to add small weights to the hems of their skirts and jackets. This simple fashion hack ensures that the clothes hang perfectly and don’t fly away with the erratic wind, while the royals find themselves between the relentless paparazzi and the crowd.
Speaking to Express.co.uk, Royal couturier Stewart Parvin said he adds a few weights to the hem of Kate’s dresses and coats, making them hang beautifully. “If there’s a flap in the jacket, I sew one on each side of the split to make it even,” Parvin said.
The British monarch is said to have sewn round lead curtain weights into all of her handmade outfits. These weights measure an inch wide and weigh less than 28 grams. The report also added that Queen Elizabeth is said to have passed this trick on to Kate, who is also reportedly adding weights to her outfits.
