Back in the 1980’s Princess Diana established herself as a style icon when she was photographed in a daring black taffeta dress when she made her first appearance with Prince Charles as his finance.
Now, fans will get a chance to bid on the gown in June when it hits the auction house although the price tag is expected to be somewhere around £50,000.
The gown is just one of 30 lots that designers David and Elizabeth Emanuel are putting up for sale. Another key item is the chiffon blouse that then Lady Diana Spencer wore in her engagement portrait which is expected to go for £10,000 to £15,000.
Also included are sketches of Princess Diana’s wedding dress which may go for around £1,200 and the final ‘toile’ itself which may go for £12,000
As if these were not enough goodies, the ivory petticoat that Diana wore to her dress rehearsal for the wedding in 1981 is also up for grabs and expected to earn £1,000 as well as letters that correlate to the gown estimated at the same worth.
Collectors may be more interested in the black dress that she wore in 1981 to the Goldsmiths’ Hall in the City because it was the item that placed her on the world stage and made her an icon to many more people than just Britons. The power of the dress is remarkable given that it was in this moment that a member of the royal family actually became known as a fashion icon which previously had never been the case.
