Diana's 'Revenge Dress' Joins the Auction Circuit

The little black dress Princess Diana wore the night of Charles's 1994 television confession — the piece fashion history remembers as the Revenge Dress — is heading to auction. For collectors who track when the biggest names in twentieth-century style actually change hands, that alone is the story: pieces this recognizable rarely reach the block, and each time one does, it resets what buyers expect fashion history to be worth. The dress needs no description beyond its nickname to draw attention from block to Bond Street; word of the sale is enough to have collectors watching.
