Princess Diana's £50,000 'take the plunge dress' auctions next month

Here's a quick reminder that Kerry Taylor Auctions will be auctioning the historic Emanuel Royal Archive as part of its Passion for Fashion Auction on June 8.

The sale will comprise around 30 lots ranging from actual clothes worn by Princess Diana to fashion sketches, invoices, letters and related ephemera.

According to Kerry Taylor, never before has such a complete or historic Royal dress related archive come onto the open market.

The collection is estimated to bring between £70,000-110,000.

"It charts the emergence and transformation of Lady Diana Spencer from a young, inexperienced fashion ingénue into the world renowned style icon that we all came to know and admire," said a statement by the auction house.

Previously, her autographs have commanded values of anywhere between $4,000 and $20,000, and sometimes more - and the sale of her dress is sure to attract worldwide attention.
