The sewing studio at Huis ten Bosch Palace is very busy. Due to Máxima’s recycling party, one dress after another has to be extended.
The fashion image is significantly longer than it was about six, seven, eight years ago. Now you may be wondering: how does a dress become longer? Cutting fabric is not possible, is it? No, that is indeed not possible, even if you are queen. What is possible: loosen the hem, fold the fabric, iron out the crease and then fold the fabric again less far and secure it. The few centimeters you gain will ensure that today’s pink dress is completely in line with the latest fashion. But… Máxima does not opt for this solution this time. A strip of fabric has simply been added to the bottom of her dress.
