The Queen is known to have had a “special affinity” for stone fabrics.
A special affinity which may be why the Royal Navy had her own collection of stone-cut garments for her coronation, according to new research.
In a paper published in the journal of the Royal Society Interface, researchers from the University of Bath and the Royal British Legion suggest that Queen Elizabeth II was in touch with the local textile workers and that her “special-access” was to be found in the silk fabrics she wore on her coronations.
A paper published by the Royal History Society and University of Bristol in December 2016 described the Queen’s use of the silk fabric “a unique item in British history”.
“It was believed by some that the material was the only surviving remnant of a previously unknown and unknown form of textile production, and that it was used by Elizabeth herself to make the silk garments worn by her on her journey from England to Scotland and then on to France and Belgium. “
“The Queen was also believed to have worn a special-access silk garment with her on many occasions during her life. “
“While this was not a true ‘silk dress’ in the traditional sense, it was certainly a unique textile garment that the Queen used.” “
The paper, entitled The Silk Dress: The Queen’s Silk Dress from 1576 to 1592, is based on the work of a team of historians who have previously explored the silk-woven fabric worn during the coronation of King Henry VIII in 1578. “

The paper, entitled The Silk Dress: The Queen’s Silk Dress from 1576 to 1592, is based on the work of a team of historians who have previously explored the silk-woven fabric worn during the coronation of King Henry VIII in 1578.
The team included historians Dr David Roberts from Durham University and Dr Paul Jones from Durham City University, and published their findings in the Journal of Archaeological Science.
The authors have previously published a paper about the silk dress.
They say that the fabric was not made of wool and was used “for decorative purposes”.
“It is a very interesting find, because it suggests that the silk was not merely used to make decorative cloth, but to provide a textile for a particular ceremony,” said Dr Roberts.
The fabric was also “used by the King to make a formal cloak” the team say.
“This was the same cloth worn by Elizabeth in her coronals, but it was not used for her own coronations,” he said.
The paper describes how the silk had been produced in the textile workshops in Northumberland and Gloucestershire, where it was first used for a period of up to two years.
The textile was made up of a mixture of wool, linen and silk.
The silk was woven into cloth that was “made of silk, dyed with gold, and woven into the lining of the cloth.”
Dr Roberts said that the work on the fabric had been carried out by “skilled seamstresses” and that the process was “one of the oldest in British textile history”.
In the paper, the team said that this had led to the discovery of a “specific weave of silk”.
“The weave was a very special weave,” Dr Roberts told BBC News.
“There was no doubt about that, and we think that the people who made the fabric were very, very special in their skill and their craftsmanship.”
He added that it “is one of those fabrics that is a personal connection to the monarch”.
The Royal Collection of the British Museum also has a collection of silk fabrics, including a collection from the 1560s. “
In this village there are many textile workers who make these garments and it is very, quite an extraordinary find.”

“We have a silk fabric from the 17th century, a very fine silk fabric, and from the 18th century a very rare silk fabric,” said Professor Chris Brown, director of the History and Antiquities Department at the British Library.
“They were using the wool as a material for their clothing, and it was very much part of their fabric.” “
They say there was also a small selection of “trousers of silk” from the same period. “

“For a long time there was no evidence that the royal wardrobe was made of silk,” Dr Brown told BBC Radio 4’s Today programme.
“But that is something that is certainly interesting to know about, and hopefully we can get to know more about that in the future.”
