I understand that the magnificent Queen Mary wore clothing that had been re-enforced to enable her to wear the enormous weight of the jewels she habitually wore. You look at that stomacher of hers and can see if there were not some kind of something the possiblities for an enormous and historic social faux pas are enormous.
Of course the sailors in the Royal Navy used to call the Most Royal Bosom of Queen Mary Cartier's counter because of all the jewels with which it was customarily bedecked. Cheers
