Ahead of the launch of Fit for a Queen, an exhibit in which pays tribute to Her Majesty Queen Sirikit's impeccable style, Queen Sirikit Museum of Textile has released a set of photos of Her Majesty in her younger days, wearing western-style gowns at different occasions during her trips to Europe and America in the 1960s. These dresses were designed and created from the House of Balmain especially for her.
