Princess Désirée's Wedding


 I have a clip file on the four Hagassorna Princesses.  The material helped with the research and writing of my article on the late Princess.  I was finally able to access newspaper databases for other material as well as the recent articles in the Swedish press.

This is one page from a four-page article on the princesses' weddings, which was published in 2013 in Svensk Damtidning (Nr. 21),

Désirée's wedding gown was first worn by her sister, Princess Birgitta, at her marriage to Prince Johann Georg of Hohenzollern.  Designed by Märthaskolan, a Swedish dressmaking school, the gown was a "thick, pale ivory silk Duchesse, featuring a wide neckline, cinched waist and a full skirt, finished off with a 4-metre train thick, pale ivory silk Duchesse, featuring a wide neckline, cinched waist and a full skirt," with a 13 feet train.
