Diana's wedding dress was designed by David and Elizabeth Emanuel. The former students at the Royal College of Art, David and Elizabeth had previously designed for HRH the Duchess of Kent before being chosen by the then Lady Diana Spencer to design her wedding gown. Diana had worn one of their outfits (a pale pink blouse and a pale pink taffeta skirt) when she was photographed by Lord Snowdon for Vogue magazine, but had not used them as designers until her engagement. The silk for Diana's ivory pure silk taffeta wedding dress was spun by the only silk farm in Britain, the Lullingstone silk farm; the embroidery was done by Elizabeth and her mother; the lace panels were formed from Carrickmacross lace which belonged to Queen Mary (it formed the 'something old' part of Diana's outfit); the 25-foot train, as well as the whole dress, featured 10,000 mother-of-pearl sequins and pearls. http://users.uniserve.com/~canyon/diana.htm http://www.fashion-era.com/diana_80s_fashion_icon.htm Mar 21 08, 4:39 PM
