The Duchess is always dressed to impress. What I find to be most remarkable is how she always manages to take others’ cast offs and make them completely her own. We made her outfit for the Ball from drapes that had been hanging in HRH The Queen’s summer sitting room before she redecorated. I asked the Duchess how she got her paws on the beautiful fabric and she just shrugged, saying, “I have the gift of thrift and the best sight at night.” Whatever that is supposed to mean.
