The article begins by informing readers that wealthy English brides were wearing diamond tiaras on their wedding days. However, it surmises, it was unlikely that local brides would have diamond tiaras at their disposal, and so goes on to describe and provide sketches of some alternative head-dresses that were being used by “Riche of Hay-Hill”, a hair expert in London. The first of these suggestions is a floral head-dress that “might be made in the shape of a tiny coronet or crown poised on her head like that of a medieval queen”. Other suggestions include various arrangements of pearls and glass beads strung onto wire and worn as coronets or bandeaus. Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Anon.

Title A name given to the resource Medievalism at the Foundations Description An account of the resource This Collection illustrates how medievalism has always existed ‘in plain view’ in Australian public life, as a conspicuous cultural memory ghosting Australia’s modernity. It focuses on discourses about, debates over, and changing interpretations of i) Australia’s medievalist political and religious institutions and rituals, ii) its architecture, and iii) its civic environment. In this Collection are items relating to all three of these key areas. Firstly, you will find items that point to the medieval influences and inflections that still permeate and influence our political, legal and religious institutions and traditions. Secondly, you will find numerous examples of neo-gothic and neo-romanesque architecture, and some cases where architectural features are known to have been modelled on specific medieval buildings. Thirdly, you will find items relating to the ways in which medievalism is incorporated into our civic environments and expressed through statues, monuments and war memorials.

Title A name given to the resource Coronation Fashions Subject The topic of the resource ceremony, ceremonial dress, coronation, coronet, court dress, dress-making, dress regulations, Earl Marshal, ermine, fashion, King Edward VIII, King George VI, kirtle, medieval coronations, fashion, robe, tiara, Westminster Abbey, medieval style Description An account of the resource This article from the Western Mail points to the mounting anticipation regarding dress regulations in the lead-up to King Edward VIII&rsquo;s coronation, which was expected to take place in May 1937. Questions had clearly started to circulate about whether traditional ceremonial robes and coronets would remain the standard of attire, or whether a simpler form of State dress would be adopted. The article speculates that the regulations, which would be announced by the Earl Marshal, would likely differ from those issued twenty-five years earlier for the coronation of George V in 1911, where ceremonial robes were worn over full court dress and peeresses wore both coronets and tiaras. In particular, the robes and kirtles of the peeresses are singled out as garments whose &lsquo;fate is in the balance&rsquo;, as well as quantities of ermine, which had already been acquired in a number of cases with the expectation that it would be used to line ceremonial robes. The article adds that there was medieval precedent for varying the coronation robes should Edward VIII choose to do so, as coronets had only been standard attire for barons and baronesses since the coronation of Charles II in 1661, and robes since James II&rsquo;s coronation in 1685.<br /> <br /> In fact, this coronation never took place. It was scheduled for the 12 May 1937, but Edward VIII abdicated the throne on 11 December 1936 in order to marry Mrs Wallis Simpson. He is one of very few English monarchs not to have been crowned at Westminster Abbey since 1066. His brother George VI replaced him on the throne, and ruled as the King of Britain, Ireland and British dominions beyond the seas from 1936-1952. For more on Edward VIII and his abdication, see H. C.
