Little Buttons


Remember my post on Princess Grace's gown and veil? I was trying to remember where I last saw such an exquisite attention to detail, in this case buttons, and then it came to me. Wallis Simpson. Given that she was a divorcee she wore a pale blue Mainbocher gown with beautiful little buttons on the front for her wedding to Edward XIII, later the Duke of Windsor. The dress fit her lithe figure to a tee.
