Yes!! In the second pic, part of the stomacher can just be detected on the bodice. I suppose it is there because the shoulder straps of the gown are far too narrow for brooches. Well spotted. Below here is where it was worn on other occasions. --Previous Message-- : I noticed in one of the pictures posted by : Arthur that the Queen is wearing the lower : part of Queen Mary's diamond stomacher, and : that she's wearing it in the proper place : and not on her shoulder as she used to do in : her youth. I think she has rarely worn it : properly as a stomacher. : : --Previous Message-- : Actually, these earrings were worn several : times by Queen Elizabeth II, and also by : Queen Alexandra. I have no pictures of Queen : Mary or Queen(-Mother) Elizabeth wearing : them. : : 1902: King Edward VII and Queen Alexandra's : Coronation. The Queen wears Queen Victoria's : emerald fringe earrings suspended from Queen : Victoria's bow brooches, pinned at the : bottom of her dress: : : : : 1953, New-Zealand: : : : : 1967: Ottawa, Canada: : : : : 1972: Edinburgh, Scotland, UK: : : : : : : --Previous Message-- : Wow wow.
