The new royal bride is putting her famous wedding gown on public display. Royal Collection officials announced that Kate Middleton's memorable wedding gown will be on display at Buckingham Palace from July 23 until Oct. 3. The dress was designed by Sarah Burton of the Alexander McQueen fashion house. The special exhibit will also display the veil, tiara, shoes and diamond earrings Middleton wore for her April 29 wedding.
The wedding display will be part of a tour of some of the palace's state rooms offered to visitors during the summer. The tour includes a chance to see some of the queen's formidable art collection, including works by Rembrandt and Rubens.
The state room tour typically costs 17.50 pounds ($29).
