‘Once she had received the proposal, she told us she had thought of us immediately, and we were very happy of that!’ Dolce told Tatler. Lady Kitty’s gown took around six months to create, with many different seamstresses, painters and artisans collaborating to design the breathtaking piece. The dress, an intricate floral lace design, featured a high neck, long sleeves and puffed shoulders, for a dramatic yet timeless silhouette. Created between the house’s embroidery factory and its Milan atelier, Spencer had just four fittings to get the wedding dress right.
‘One of the inspirations [was] definitely her love for Italy. Kitty is in love with our beautiful country and its rich history, art and culture,’ said Dolce. ‘But she is also a girl who is very attached to her origins, to England; to her heritage of the great Victorian era. And like all the English people, she has a great passion for all kinds of flowers… We accompanied her on this journey full of emotions, and it was a real honour for us!’ added Gabbana.
