Her society wedding to Reginald Hargreaves took place in Westminster Abbey in 1880, and although there is a written description from the time of her gown of spanish lace and brocade, no photographic evidence survives. Rossetti was asked to contribute to the book an imagined version of what Alice may have worn, based on authentic costume of the time. Contributors to the book include Annie Leibowitz, Lizzy Rockwell, Helen Oxenbury, Jewel and Louise Rennie.
