When Princess Diana Stepped Out On Her Wedding Day, The Dress Designer Was Horrified By One Detail
Some 750 million pairs of eyes were fixed on the glass carriage when it pulled up to St. Paul’s Cathedral in the heart of London. As the door opened, out stepped Lady Diana Spencer, who’d soon become a princess upon uttering her vows to Prince Charles. Her wedding gown was, of course, fit for royalty. But among the millions of in-person and television viewers was one of designers of the dress. This was Elizabeth Emanuel – and she was horrified to see an error in the once-in-a-lifetime garment.

In spite of that flaw, Princess Diana’s dress has gone down as one of the most iconic wedding gowns of all time. It didn’t make waves for its understated features, though. For one thing, this dress had a train measuring 25 foot in length. It was so long, in fact, that it required an aerial shot to fully capture its scope and grandeur.
