About Wobble
Pulitzer Prize–winning poet Rae Armantrout is at once a most intimate and coolly calculating poet. If anyone could produce a hybrid of Charlie Chaplin's playful “Little Tramp” and Charlize Theron's fierce “Imperator Furiosa,” it would be Armantrout. . . .
Queen Elizabeth II: Dressmaker 'so lucky' to land dream job
A former dressmaker to The Queen has recalled her "30 fantastic years" making outfits for The monarch.
Maureen Rose, from Ringwood in Hampshire, had dreamed of becoming a seamstress aged 10 after seeing The Queen in her Wedding Dress .
She went on to work for The designer Sir Norman Hartnell which later led to her first visit to Buckingham Palace .
The 85-year-old said: " I don't know how I walked to The Room , my knees were all a Wobble - I was so nervous. "
" I couldn't sleep for days beforehand, I thought I'm going to stick pins in or Do Something dreadful or trip over. . ," Mrs Rose told The Bbc .
The Queen had been given " fabrics by The King of Thailand - She wanted four long evening skirts and blouses made out of them".
" They were The First separates The Queen had - She had them made to go out to dinner, " She added.
Dress fittings at The Palace always followed a familiar pattern with up to nine dogs joining in.
Mrs Rose said The Queen would " always go round The Floor with a magnet in case we'd left any pins on The Floor - because She didn't want them Getting In The Dog 's feet".
After working for Ian Thomas , another of The Queen 's dress designers, Mrs Rose went on to work independently based in a small workshop near The New Forest.
She achieved a Royal Warrant in 1999, The 47th year of reign and created her own designs for The Queen .
Mrs Rose said: " You forgot that She was actually The Queen when you were speaking to her She was so easy to speak to.
" When you'd finished a set of outfits for her She would put one on and have a really serious 'Queen face' on.
" Then all of a sudden She would look across and absolutely Beam - The Room would Light Up with her smile and She would say 'I'm going to enjoy wearing this a lot because it is so comfortable Thank You very, very much for all your Hard Work .
" To have The Queen Say Something like that to you stays With You forever. "
Mrs Rose, who retired in 2003, said her life's work had been A Dream come true.
" Thirty fantastic years - I can't think how lucky I've been to be that Little Girl deciding what I wanted to do and to be So Lucky for it to happen, " She Said .
