For her wedding to Charles, Prince of Wales (King Charles III since 2022) on 9 April 2005 at Windsor Guildhall,[1] Camilla Parker Bowles's wedding dress was a cream silk chiffon dress hemmed with vertical rows of Swiss-made appliqued woven disks, and a matching oyster silk basket weave coat.
[2] She completed the outfit with pale beige suede shoes with almond-coloured toes designed by L.K.Bennett, a Philip Treacy wide-brimmed cream-coloured straw hat overlaid with ivory French lace and feathers, and a purse made from embossed calf leather with a half flap closing and suede lining, from Launer's "East/West" collection.
[3][4] Work on the outfit began on 21 February 2005, and the final fitting was made on 5 April.
[4] Camilla later rewore the outfit with a different hat and set of shoes at the opening of the National Assembly for Wales in June 2007.
[5] For the blessing afterwards, she wore a floor-length embroidered pale blue and gold coat over a matching chiffon dress and a dramatic spray of golden feathers in her hair.
