Weighted Hems Are a Must
This one’s just common sense and has more to do with preventing wardrobe malfunctions than anything else. Kate nearly had a fashion disaster on her hands back in 2011, but the Queen has a clever hack to prevent it from ever happening to her. Stewart Parvin, one of the Queen’s couturiers, confessed that he sews weights into the hems of her dresses. “I use curtain weights, lead weights, from Peter Jones’s curtain department. We call them pennyweights,” he revealed.
