Princess Diana and the Dress
'The Revenge Dress' was worn by Princess Diana at The Serpentine Gallery, London, 1993.
The Telegraph Magazine was to describe the dress as 'The piece de resistance ... the brave, wicked, historic little 'Serpentine Cocktail', possibly the most strategic dress ever worn by a woman in modern times. This was the devastating wisp if black chiffon with which Diana flipped her husband clean off the front pages the morning after his damaging televised interview. This is a dress that shows Diana, Princess of Wales, fully in command of a sense of her won value.'
The dress has a ruched, asymmetrical bodice with cap sleeves. The skirt is also ruched horizontally, being caught up to a sash at the side which falls beyond the hem.
