Ten
dresses owned by Princess Diana, including the one worn when she danced
with actor John Travolta at a White House dinner, sold for £862,800 at a
London auction on Tuesday.
The most iconic item – the strapless dark blue velvet gown worn at a 1985 dinner thrown by US president Ronald Reagan in honour of the Prince and Princess of Wales – raised £240,000.
It was immortalised in the photographs of Diana dancing with Travolta to the song “You Should be Dancing” from his film “Saturday Night Fever”.
The dress was bought “by a British gentleman who said he wanted to buy it as a surprise to cheer up his wife”, explained auctioneer Kerry Taylor.
The garments, created by some of Diana’s favourite designers including Zandra Rhodes, Catherine Walker, Bruce Oldfield and Victor Edelstein, share an extraordinary history.
Some were worn by the princess during official trips to Austria, Australia, Brazil, India, South Korea and the United States, said the auction house.
They were then acquired by Florida businesswoman Maureen Rorech at a 1997 sale to raise money for humanitarian charities supported by the princess, two months before she was killed in a Paris car crash.
Rorech put 14 of the dresses up for sale at a Canada auction in 2011 after declaring bankruptcy, but only four sold as the “reserve prices were ridiculously high”, said a spokesman for Kerry Taylor.
All of the remaining items sold on Tuesday at prices ranging from £24,000 to £240,000. Two were bought by an “important” British museum, revealed Taylor.
“It’s important for the generations to come,” she added. “Diana was the people’s princess, so the people should be able to see these dresses. This is our heritage, our history.”
TEN of Diana, Princess of Wales' most iconic dresses will go up for auction on March 19. The collection was originally bought at a charity sale held in New York in June 1997, arranged by the Princess a few months before her death in August that year.
The upcoming Kerry Taylor Auction will feature gowns by designers including Zandra Rhodes, Catherine Walker and Bruce Oldfield. Highlights include the midnight blue velvet Victor Edelstein gown that Diana wore when she danced with John Travolta at a State dinner given by the White House in November, 1985, an experience Travolta later described as being "like a fairytale".
A dark green velvet dress features a small hand print that could have been the mark of one of the late Princess' then-young sons. Many of the creations appeared in portraits taken by legendary photographers such as Lord Snowdon and Mario Testino. Estimates range from £20,000 to £200,000.
Hey, guys! I basically never post here anymore since we postponed the wedding, and I wasn't very active before.
Spotted: Amazon's daily deal site My Habit has some Sue Wong dresses selling from $150-200, which are normally $4-500. There's not a huge selection but what's there is mostly white through gold, the size range is pretty good but of course dependent on limited stock, good return policy, have to be a member to use it but that's not hard. If you were thinking about a Sue Wong-style '20s callback dress, this would be the time to get it. I hope this was helpful.
They're super-pretty! I got excited to see the deal because my sister had be digging through Sue Wong gowns for weeks (yeah, she's just that classy; she even went with a different flapper-esque dress) for her prom but we never found any big enough sales.
