Princess Diana's wedding dress made headlines around the world, but it has just been revealed that there was a back-up wedding dress for the princess as well. People magazine revealed that ti was intended to be used if the Diana's first choice was outed before the big day in 1981.
The magazine has published a photograph of the never before seen extra dress, which was created by the same designer that made her famous gown, Elizabeth Emanuel. Emanuel said that at the time it was absolutely critical that the dress was a surprise. The ivory silk taffeta gown bears the same ruffles around the neck as the original but without the signature lace, and it was never completely finished or tried on by Diana. The palace has tried to keep the designer of Kate Middleton's wedding dress a secret this time around, which is easier said then done given the relentless news cycle and digital technology today.
