Princess Diana’s Back-Up Wedding Dress Sells For Thousands
Email
Princess Diana's back-up wedding dress and shoes were auctioned at London's Kerry Taylor auction house.
When you’re getting married in front of millions, you ought to have a back up plan.
Or a back-up dress, to be more precise. Exact replicas of Princess Diana’s wedding dress and slippers were auctioned off in London this week for approximately $132,000. The David Emanuel gown and Clive Shilton shoes were made for the princess in case anything went wrong with her original outfit prior to the ceremony.
A fashion museum in Chile bought the dress; a private buyer took home the shoes (which, according to the Daily Mail, have the initials C and D joined together with a heart on the soles).
Wonder if Duchess Catherine had her own replicas waiting in the wings?

Diana was a beautiful young bride – but that was in spite of the hideous dress. It looks as if it were designed by a drunken Disney cartoonst for “Cinderella” – and then, sensibly, rejected as an excess of bad taste. A woman who could look good draped in that horror was a lovely woman indeed.
