Princess Mafalda's wedding trousseau doesn't include "mid-Victorian brocades." Instead, the princess, who will marry Prince Philipp of Hesse tomorrow, has chosen "diaphanous chiffons and cobwebby lingerie." The trousseau, which cost $10,000, was purchased in Rome, Milan and Turin, "at the princess' desire." All of her lingerie and linen have been embroidered with "a monogram, surrounded by the royal emblem," according to the Chicago Daily Tribune.
The princess' wedding train is said to be four yards long, and "will have two bearers." Crown Prince Umberto has given his sister a "magnificent necklace of 300 pearls," that she will wear at the wedding.
The palace's baker has made a cake "in the form of a garland of flowers," which will serve 200 guests.
The exiled King George of the Hellenes and Crown Prince Carol of Roumania have already arrived in Racconigi. King George and the bridegroom are first cousins, as their mothers are sisters.
