Queen Muriel wore the first robe made by Miss Birch:
‘She wore a crown of apple-blossoms, a loose cream silk robe, with a green girdle overlaid with delicate applique; the long cream Liberty silk train was daintily embroidered with a quaint conventional design in the colours of apple-blossom with its attendant leaves.’
