On the event of her wedding to Edward, Duke of Windsor on 3 June 1937 at the Château de Candé, Wallis, Duchess of Windsor (then known as Wallis Warfield[1][2]) wore a nipped-at-the-waist dress created by Mainbocher in what was termed her signature colour of "Wallis blue" reportedly to match her eyes. Her co-ordinating blue straw hat, by Caroline Reboux, had a halo effect with pale blue tulle and her matching gloves were created from the same blue silk crepe as her dress.[3][4]
In 1950, Wallis presented the dress to the Metropolitan Museum.[5] More than 25 years after the wedding it was still regarded as "one of the most photographed, most copied dresses of modern times".[6][7][8]
