Princess Diana’s wedding dress will be, of course, in the spotlight. It “is now among the most famous in bridal history”, organisers say.

The ivory silk taffeta and antique lace gown designed by David and Elizabeth Emanuel marked an era. Its extra-puffed sleeves, bows and deep ruffles of taffeta became a staple in the early 80s fashion.

The iconic dress featured a fitted bodice trimmed with an antique and hand-made lace and a scooped neckline. Panels of the Carrickmacross lace, which had belonged to Queen Mary, overlaid the centre of the bodice. But what made the dress unforgettable was its 25ft sequin-encrusted train.

The exhibition will also show original sketches, fabric swatches and unseen photographs. Moreover, a rare toile, which dates back to 1937, will be on display. The surviving toile comes from the gown the Queen Mother wore on the coronation day of her husband King George VI.
