Princess Diana ’s Gown up for Auction!
Princess Diana’s wedding ceremony was a fairy tale. Known as the Princess of the People, Lady Diana was revered in the hearts of many. Even after her demise, Princess Diana and her royal life is discussed heavily among all age groups across the world.
Princess Diana’s wedding gown was a voluminous ivory silk taffeta dress. The dress was heavily laced and had 10,000 mother-of-pearl sequins adorning it. A special feature of the gown was that it had a 25-foot(7.62 m) train which was one of the longest wedding gown trains in history!
The makers of Princess Diana’s wedding gown were the famous David and Elizabeth Emanuel. The duo’s work on the gown was one of fashion history’s most heavily guarded secrets! In an interview, designer David let on that, “We had hired two security guards at the factory to work in 12-hour shifts. The Princess was referred to using the code name ‘Deborah’. All the gown fittings were held in secret and there were two dress rehearsals in the cathedral.”
One of Princess Diana’s favorate ballgowns from the same designers, David and Elizabeth, is going up for auction at Kerry Taylor Auctions. This gown is soft white and is embellished with golden sequins, crystals and pearls.
Princess Diana loved this gown so much that she wore it for three events :

3) At the premiere of the hit James Bond film, ‘The Residing Daylights’.
