Alice Temperley should watch out - hot on her heels are a bunchof central Somerset school pupils who have been honing their skillsas fashion designers.
The children, all pupils at Walton Primary School, took theirinspiration from the royal wedding and designed a dress fit for aprincess.
The nine pupils, from Years three to five, drew their designsbefore opening up their sewing kits. From there they made ruffs andmaterial flowers, sewed on beads and even made a long veil andtrain.
They then passed on the specification for the dress to CharlotteToal, an art diploma student from Bridgwater College, who brought tolife their paper designs.
The dress was complete just in time for the royal wedding andpupils at the school dressed up to mark the occasion and the RevSharon Walker conducted a wedding ceremony at the school.
Cathy Woodroffe, the arts subject leader, worked with the youngdesigners.
She said: "The designs the children came up with were creativeand imaginative.
"The children used technical vocabulary to describe the sewingtechniques they wanted on the dress and they worked co-operativelyto make a beautiful dress that drew gasps from the congregation."
