Sarah Ferguson wore a dress made from ivory duchesse satin and featuring heavy beading[1] for her wedding to Prince Andrew, Duke of York (second son of Queen Elizabeth II) on 23 July 1986 at Westminster Abbey.

[3] Copies of the dress, including the motifs specific to the royal family, went on sale in stores just hours after the end of the wedding.

[3] Influenced by the wedding dress of Lady Diana Spencer,[4] a notable feature of Sarah Ferguson's 17-foot (5.2 m) long train was the intertwined initials A and S sewn in silver beads.

[1] Ferguson was pleased with the dress, describing it in her 1997 memoir, My Story, as "an exquisite creation I'd lost twenty-six pounds to fit into.

"[5] Hair stylist Denise McAdam and make-up artist Teresa Fairminer attended to the bride, while florist Jane Packer designed the bouquet.
