Princess Sirivannavari Displays Thai Craftsmanship at Paris Dinner

Princess Sirivannavari Nariratana Rajakanya wore a traditional Chud Thai Dusit gown to an official State Dinner at the Élysée Palace in Paris. The formal outfit was created from naturally dyed indigo silk and featured the wide neckline, sleeveless bodice and pleated skirt associated with the recognised royal costume. Its fabric was woven by the Chantharasoma weaving group under the direction of Ajarn Veeratham Trakunngoenthai before being tailored and embroidered by the Tirapan fashion house. French President Emmanuel Macron and First Lady Brigitte Macron hosted the dinner at the historic presidential residence on June 29. The appearance placed Thai textile traditions, local artisans and formal royal fashion before an international audience.
