press gowns and linen without the attendance of any outsider.
In that room, there should be a large supply of white tissue
paper and string of various sizes, to be used when re-packing.
In the Queen's wardrobes, hangers should not be placed too high,
since Her Majesty seldom wears dresses with trains, and her dresses
should be easily reached.
Light muslin clothes should be provided with which hanging clothes
would be covered.
A second linen room for the King's valet and the suite.
