At 4:20 pm on Saturday 15 September 1984, the Princess of Wales gave birth to her second child, a 6 lb 14 oz son, named Prince Henry Charles Albert David. This book is a celebration of the event. It is also a thoroughly practical guide to the ways in which any mother can bring a royal touch to her own pregnancy and to her child"s upbringing. The Princess of Wales has brought her own distinctive flair to motherhood as surely as she did to fashion. Her new, relaxed approach to parenthood, to maternity and to children"s fashion, sets an example for any young mother to follow. Here are suggestions and top designer drawings for maternity fashion, based on the clothes the Princess wore during her pregnancy. Also included is a nostalgic look at the fashions worn by previous generations of royal children, from sailor suits to kilts and velvet-collared coats, all of which are still popular today. For the dressmaker, there are cutting-out plans and full instructions for making many of the outfits discussed and illustrated in the text, as well as knitting patterns for modern and traditional knitwear. Beautifully illustrated and filled with photographs!
