Pricing & History
A Princess Diana custom-made ivory gown with black velvet accents, designed by British designer Catherine Walker, worn to a private event/function.A fitted-strapless-hourglass gown of ivory silk crepe with black silk velvet at the bust and waistline. The hem is asymmetric, lifted at the front then goes into a short train at the back. The godet pleat at the back allows for more freedom and movement, a subtle contrast to the fitted bodice and hips. The color-blocking works well to contour Diana's figure and streamline her silhouette with the asymmetry of the velvet bands. The design is understated elegance, featuring a hidden zip closure and lining, crafted with all the luxuries for a gown fit for a princess. A Catherine Walker label is present, reading "Catherine Walker, London.".Catherine Walker created some of Diana's most iconic looks such as "The Elvis Dress." Walker designed gowns as well as an entire wardrobe for royal tours. The designs Walker created showcased clean lines but offered design details that could be picked up on camera and stand out. Walker was one of Princess Diana's favorite designers and created custom designs for her for over 16 years.PROVENANCE Lot 48, "Dresses From the Collection of Diana, Princess of Wales," Christie's, New York, Sale number 8702, June 25, 1997
