for a evening at the Serpentine gallery in London. The back meets in criss-cross
straps. On one occasion, above, she wore a jacket over it. Sold for $70,700
Lot 30--Described
as fuschia but looking more red on pictures, this Victor Edelstien design
raised $36,800 a the auction. Diana wore it on 8 public occasions including
at the premiere of JUST LIKE A WOMAN in 1992 and to a HELP THE HOSPICE
banquet in 1990. In 1989 it was first spotted on a visit to Japan
Also, in 1990 she wore
it to a charity dinner in the United States.Sometimes she wore a broach
at the v of the bodice.
I saw this dress in
person and was stunned at how narrow it was--Diana was far slimmer than
I imagined. It was won by the President of Go Collect.com and they
displayed it at their booth in their 2000 Rosemont Collectible show.
