ELIZABETH
The
bridal
train
for
Princess
Elizabeth's
wedding
dress
was
hand-woven
at
the
Warner
&
Sons
Ltd.
factory
at
Braintree,
Eng.,
where
the
tradition
of
fine
hand
weaving
has
been
handed
down
from
the
Huguenot
Immigrants
of
the
'
17th
century.
Although
a
great
percentage
of
the
firm's
production
is
done
by
power
looms,
hand
looms,
are
.still
being
used
for
Important
parts
of
the
Work.

It
