Princess Diana’s Engagement Blouse And Wedding Knickers For Sale
PRINCESS Diana’s “engagement blouse” is to go under the hammer.
Not literally, although sending shards of the fabric to all corners of the world would surely be a gesture of great spiritual meaning. For such reasons, a miniature of the Diana wedding dress made from the greater wedding dress material is to also up for sale. More miniatures may be in the offing.
The Telegraph says the engagement blouse is being put up for sale by Elizabeth Emanuel, who tells us:
“It is sad, especially for me, but I don’t know what to do with them … There comes a point where it is so expensive to store.”
Yes, what with property prices so high in London, the space occupied by a blouse can go for as much £3million to £4million.
Diana fans may care to note that other items coming up for sale include:
Diana’s engagement knickers
Diana’s wedding vest
Diana’s divorce support stockings
Diana’s car socks
Anoraks learns that woman on the fabled Sixth Floor of Harvey Nichols has made an early bid for all items…

anyone want to buy a genuine Emanual outfit that I bought in Harrods Designer outfit sale, just after Diana’s wedding?
I thought it would go up in value because of the Princess connection, but I haven’t been able to sell it yet, Sadly, after 25 years, it is now too small for me to wear, or rather, I am no longer small enough to wear it!

big girls…?

i know a pair of blouses.
October 1st, 2008 at 10:04 am
must be relevant to the number of leg-holes – as in “pair of pants/trousers” – obviously doesn’t apply to arms as it doesn’t work with bras or other upper garments….

especially the squidgy pair.
(why is it a pair of knickers when theres only one of them anyway?)
October 1st, 2008 at 9:46 am
i bet her pants would fetch more.

…what can you do with them…? display them to your desperately-trying-to-look-interested friends…? “Look, here are Queen Victoria’s knickers!” (pause for much humming and hahing and assorted mutterings)….. and then what..?
does it tell us anything about the woman except the size of her arse….?
October 1st, 2008 at 9:03 am
who in their right mind would want to hand over money for that…?

Always thought Diana’s engagement outfit the best and should be kept on show somewhere where her other clothes are kept. Queen Victoria’s knickers were sold recently, and they did raise a bit of cash.

We’re trying to break new ground here, to boldly go where no market has gone before, to throw off the shackles of outdated concepts and invest in things we all really care about.
Like our friends, our families*, our limited edition replicas of George Bush’s sucker.
We need to define ourself very carefully, and Diana’s knickers are, as the big Y has pointed out, stretched to buggery, so we can all fit in….
*apart from those families who are currently trading members

Can’t we do it in an office in the City?
September 30th, 2008 at 3:13 pm
OK, that’s the TBB index sorted; now all we have to do is start up a futures market in Diana’s knickers…
September 30th, 2008 at 3:11 pm
if it relates to Will Carling, shouldn’t it be Stretched to Ruggery…?
September 30th, 2008 at 3:07 pm
To Buggery and Beyond.
September 30th, 2008 at 3:02 pm
Stretched to Beyond Buggery?
Sounds like somewhere in the Afghanistani mountians, and good for the B&B alliteration too

Though preferably not the ‘Stretched to Buggery Index’…

So, the Credit Crunch spares no-one, not even the designer who made Di’s wedding dress.
I see it as another index of economic wellbeing, almost as good as the High End Girlfriend Index, HEGI, and probably a bit better than the High End Stripper Index, HESI.
All we need now is a name…

Hahahahahahahaha
September 30th, 2008 at 2:46 pm
I didn’t know Will Carling stretched to Buggery.
September 30th, 2008 at 2:40 pm
Who would want them after Will Carling had been in them. Stretched to buggery
September 30th, 2008 at 2:39 pm
see the cellulite, and its not my bum
September 30th, 2008 at 2:38 pm
Have the knickers been washed is what I wanna know….
