The Lady Diana Spencer's wedding dress was worn by Lady Diana Spencer at her wedding with Charles, Prince of Wales, on July 29, 1981 at St. Paul's Cathedral. Diana wore ivory silk taffeta and antique lace dresses, with 25-foot (7.62 m) and 153-yard tulle veil, valued later on à £ 151,000. It became one of the most famous gowns in the world, and considered one of the the most kept secret in fashion history.

Design
The dress was designed by David and Elizabeth Emanuel, who described it as a dress that "must be something that will go down in history, but also something that Diana likes", and which would be "perfectly suited to make an impression". Diana Spencer personally chose the designers to make her wedding dress because she liked the chiffon blouse they designed for her official photo session with Lord Snowdon.
Woven silk taffeta made by Stephen Walters of Suffolk. The Emanuels consults with Maureen Baker, who has made Princess Anne's wedding dress, during the construction of the dress. An observer writes "the dress is a crinoline, a symbol of sexuality and splendor, a meringue embroidered with pearls and sequins, its lace-lined corset." The dress is decorated with hand embroidery, sequins, and 10,000 pearls. An 18 karat gold horseshoe was sewn into the petticoats as a sign of luck. The lace used to prune it was the antique Carrickmacross handmade lace that belonged to Queen Mary. In contrast, Catherine Middleton's wedding dress, for her marriage to Prince William, Diana's eldest son, combines motifs cut from the machine-made applique lace to the silk net.
The dress fixture poses difficulties because Diana has developed bulimia and dropped from size 14 to size 10 in the months leading up to the wedding. Even the tailor was worried about his weight and was afraid his dress might not fit the way it should.
The twenty-five-foot train caused trouble. According to author Andrew Morton, at Diana: His True Story, the designer of the dress realized too late that they forgot to allow the length of the train in relation to the size of Diana's glass coach and his father riding a horse. into the ceremony. They found it difficult to get into the glass coach, and the train was badly damaged despite efforts from Diana. This explains the wrinkles seen in the wedding dress when she arrives at the cathedral. Diana also has a spare wedding dress, which will act as a stand-in if the design of the dress is revealed before the big day.

Reception and influence
The dress set the trend of wedding dress after the wedding. The big bloated arms, full skirts and "soft touch fabric" are becoming popular demand. Copies by other clothing makers are available "within a few hours" of the 1981 marriage.
Many brides think the dress is "gold standard" in marriage mode in the years after marriage. The ongoing appreciation for the dress is not universal. One bridal magazine in 2004 listed it as "too much clothes, too little princess." Nevertheless, Elizabeth Emanuel noted in 2011 that she still received a request for a replica of Diana's dress.
In his memoir of 2003, A Royal Duty , Paul Burrell wrote that Diana wanted the dress to be part of the fashion collection of the Victoria and Albert Museum.
The dress was held for many years with the exhibition "Diana: A Celebration", although in general he only stayed for part of the exhibition. Althorp House, Northampton is the location of the main view for the dress. Diana's dress transferred ownership from her brother to her son in 2014 because she requested that her belongings be handed back to them when they were both 30 years old. Her engagement ring was given to Prince William, while the wedding dress was given to Prince Harry.
In 2018, the dress was chosen as one of the "Most Influential Kingdom Wedding Dresses of All Time" by Time magazine.
