Christie’s. Dresses from the Collection of Diana, Princess of Wales. Softcover. 1997. Book is in very good condition.
Diana, Princess of Wales quipped, “They say it is better to be poor and happy than rich and miserable, but how about a compromise like moderately rich and just moody?” This auction of her dresses was intended to put her past behind her and usher in an era of “just moody.” The event was enormously successful, with dresses selling far above their estimates. Unfortunately for Diana, the auction preceded her tragic death by only a few months. This image-filled book is the catalogue for the sale.
“The top price paid was $225,500 for an off-the-shoulder, ink-blue velvet dinner dress that Diana wore when she danced at the Reagan White House with John Travolta.”
--Elisabeth Bumiller, Reporting on the Sale for the New York Times
