It was a real treat to get up close and personal with one of Victor Stiebel�s most magical creations � the ball gown he designed for the British film actress, Margaret Lockwood. I can barely describe how glorious it is to see the midnight blue tulle, which overlays lashings of cream chiffon, sparkling with golden embroidered stars and spangles. Lockwood chose to unveil Stiebel�s design at the inaugural Royal Film Perfomance in Queen Elizabeth�s reign, which saw thousands gather at The Empire, Leicester Square on 27^th October 1952. No doubt it turned heads as she floated through the crowds with film director, Herbert Wilcox.
