A racy black gown worn by Lady Diana Spencer on one of her first official engagements has been snapped up by a Chilean fashion museum for nearly 200,000 pounds (more than $275,000) — several times the original estimate.
This is a strapless silk taffeta dress of black color.
Elizabeth Emanuel, who designed the black dress with her
then-husband David said,"I think Diana didn't really have a particular sense of style, I mean, she dressed as a typical 'Sloane Ranger' of that time, you know, with the skirts, cardigan, little sweater, pearls, it was kind of a uniform for girls of that age,"
"Royals aren't supposed to wear black, apart from when in mourning," she said.
But with this dress Diana became a fashion icon that the press couldn't wait to see what she would be wearing next.
