Yes, I saw the Birgit Hallstein pictures, and they are very interesting. (I love the bird scissors which are similar to a pair of my mother's). But I wasn't sure Birgit Hallstein was really the designer. I'm also not sure Princess Mary's gown resembles the Elie Saab illustration very closely. The general effect of lace with almost invisible fabrics was very popular in Amsterdam, and it seems to have come from various couture houses.
