The post continued, “Victor Edelstein made dresses for Princess Diana over an eleven-year period. She would often pop into his shop at 3-4 Stanhope Mews and look through the collections whilst her security guard waited outside. The Princess saw this model in his studio in burgundy and requested it be made for her in midnight blue.”

The gown previously sold for $222,500 at Christie’s in 1997. The gown was also recently on display at an exhibit called “Diana: Her Fashion Story” in London last year. The current auction starts on December 9, 2019. Click here to learn more.
