Dress designer works on a bride's wedding dress, Cape Town

14/09/1982

When Gaironesa Booysen marries Mogamat Hassiem Rabin in Kensington on Sunday, it will be like the royal wedding all over again. Gaironesa's bridal gown and the garments of her attendants are replicas of the clothes worn by the Princess of Wales and her attendants, except that Gaironesa had to have different dresses for extra attendants. Athlone dress designer Yasmin Matthews, who made the look-a-like clothes from pictures and her memory, puts a finishing stitch to Gaironesa's lace train.
