Worn by The Queen for the Silver Jubilee Gala Performance at the King’s Theatre, Glasgow on 17 May 1977. This evening dress is richly embroidered with iridescent blue and purple beads in a scalloped design. The design with its simple cut and straight silhouette was worn by The Queen from the late 1960s in favour of the crinoline-skirted dresses of the 1950s.
