Lady Diana's dress was a closely guarded secret right up to the moment she stepped out of the glass coach on her arrival at St. Paul’s Cathedral, with the designers themselves doing the dress fittings to prevent details from being leaked.Designed by British designers David and Elizabeth Emanuel, what was to possibly become the most famous garment of all time was made of ivory silk taffeta from Britain’s only silk farm, in Dorset, and decorated with panels of lace that had belonged to the groom’s great-grandmother Queen Mary.
