Dress Parade
‘ITS not just toadying, self-serving butlers who can fondle one of the late Princess Dianas dresses. Now you too can own one of the great ladys gowns.

And its not just any old dress. As the Mail says (War of Dianas dress), Madame Tussauds is putting up for auction an exact replica of the wedding dress worn by Di all those moons ago.
The dress was made at Dis behest, in case anything happened to the original on her big day (Express) or to go on display the day after the wedding at the waxwork museum (Mail).
Now Madame Tussauds says the dress is gathering dust and might as well be sold.
But not everyone is happy. Elizabeth Emanuel, who along with her then husband David made the enormously fussy silk and taffeta meringue, will not be among the bidders. (The dress is expected to sell for more than £50,000.)
The Princess hoped it would be a small piece of history that would be put on display for the world to enjoy, says Elizabeth. Its like they are selling off the family silver.
Why cant they just donate it to a museum? Im sure there are others who old appreciate it.
Indeed. What butler, drag queen or Diana fetishists wouldnt want to own such an item?’
