Kate Middleton wedding dress has been exposed for 73 days at Buckingham Palace in London.

Despite breaking palace records, and former rumours, the Duchess of Cambridge’s wedding dress will not be going on display any time soon. VOGUE tells on their webpage:  http://www.vogue.co.uk/news/2011/05/23/prince-william-engaged-to-kate-middleton

“The wedding dress will return to storage following the Summer Opening at Buckingham Palace, on the basis of curatorial advice,” a spokesperson from Clarence House told us this morning. “The Duchess, having received expert advice, is keen to ensure that the dress survives undamaged for as long as possible, and so this inevitably means limiting the number of times that it is transported or displayed.”

Over the 73-day-long exhibition which closed on Sunday, 600,000 visitors came to see a close-up view of Sarah Burton’s Alexander McQueen design – a record number for the Palace. Its former record stood at 420,000 back in 1994, a year after the Palace first opened to the public.

The designer, Sarah Burton of Alexander McQueen, explains in an accompanying film.
