Pilotto and De Vos reinterpreted the symbols in a garland of rope-like motifs, woven into a jacquard of silk, cotton and viscose blend. Once the artwork was completed, it was translated into a jacquard weave in the Como region of Italy. The result is a very modern looking fabric using a highly intricate weaving technique.
As she stepped out of the car, she paused for a moment, giving viewers a good look at her stunning gown. In a pre-wedding interview, she hinted that the dress might show off the scars from herspinal surgery because of scoliosis.
“I think you can change the way beauty is, and you can show people your scars and I think it’s really special to stand up for that,” she told the U.K.’sThis Morning.

The details of Eugenie’s wedding dress were kept under wraps in the months leading up to the royal wedding, but she did reveal it had British roots.
“I’m not telling anyone who is making it, but I can say it is a British-based designer. [The dress] is the one thing that I was really decisive about,” she toldBritishVogue. “As soon as we announced the wedding, I knew the designer, and the look, straight away. I never thought I’d be the one who knew exactly what I like, but I’ve been pretty on top of it.”
