Nice photos but nothing but fluff
7 December 2019 -
Published on Amazon.comVerified Purchase
This was written to a fourth grade reading level. It doesn't contain what I expected which was the details of how they go about choosing and making clothes for the Queen. It has many "tributes" to Ms. Kelly, who I am sure is a nice person, but if she wants us to read what others have written about her, all complimentary and equally as fluffy as her text (and certainly given on request), she should either pay us to read it or give it away for free. She tells what outfits were chosen for certain events but no details about those costumes, the fabrics, or construction methods. Dies she work from a basic pattern or drape everything she makes? She doesn't even tell us how many fittings were needed, if any!

I’m on page 21. The magnificence of this book astounds me! I hardly have words—personable, respectful, grateful, loyal, fun. An amazing gift to the world from two friends. 💞

Beyond boring and just the dresser showing how great she is
11 December 2019 -
Published on Amazon.comVerified Purchase
I don't understand the other reviews. It's very repetitive with the author (dresser and designer for the queen) mostly pointing out how brilliant she is and how hard she works. Little or no details about the queen. I also found it amazing that one woman (queen or not) needs an expensive new outfit for nearly every event she attends. Then it goes back into the closet most likely never to be worn again. It's just obscenely wasteful and I LOVE the queen in general but not when it comes to her one wear outfits - why even keep them after she's worn them once. And the author just goes on and on about how clever and talented she is. Really a bore to read.

My favorite book- ever!

If you are half interested in fabrics or friendship, this is a can't miss. It is beautiful to look at and to read, and might be my all time favorite book for that reason. The only thing missing is being able to touch the gloriously described bolts and baubles. Thank you for a lovely treat of a book about the Queen, and the woman who helps her adjust her crown.
