Princess Diana's favorite fairytale dress could be yours ... for a price

 

Anyone who's ever wanted to look, or dress like a princess will have the opportunity on Tuesday when one of Princess Diana's most "fairytale" frocks goes under the hammer at Kerry Taylor Auction House in London.

The princess was photographed many times while wearing the ball gown, which was the creation of David and Elizabeth Emanuel, Diana's favorite designers, and was inspired by Diaghilev's Ballets Russes. The dress -- a shimmering white organza number with gold sequins, crystals, and pearl beads embedded throughout -- first caught her eye at a Red Cross benefit fashion show in 1986. The entire ensemble includes a petticoat, removable sleeve panels, and a matching headband.
