| Summary, etc | In 1863, the young Danish princess Alexandra married Edward, eldest son of Queen Victoria and heir to the throne. For forty years she successfully negotiated the notoriously complex rigours of the London Season and its British aristocracy, a popular figure with both her peers and a wider general public. Much of her success derived from a sartorial shrewdness, gaining herself a reputation for elegant, appropriate dress whatever the occasion. On the death of Queen Victoria in 1901, Alexandra was faced with sartorial decisions based upon her new status as queen consort. This paper will examine the design and realization of her most important ceremonial garment—the gown worn for the coronation of her husband in August 1902. Alexandra chose to have her dress designed and woven in India with the final construction taking place at a couture house in Paris. Taking an object-based approach, studying the gown as it survives today, this article interrogates some key questions. What was Alexandra’s vision of India before the coronation? How did her clothing practices sit within the contemporary Anglo-Indian textile trade, and why was it so important for the new queen that her coronation dress be made in India? |
