After Wedding Dress, the Revenge Dress Goes Up for Auction
Princess Diana's iconic revenge dress is going up for auction at Sotheby's in December, with high proceeds expected.
The custom-designed black silk outfit worn by Diana, Princess of Wales in 1994, which went down in fashion history as the revenge dress, is being put up for auction by Sotheby's.
History of the Revenge Dress
Worn on the day the documentary in which Prince Charles admitted to adultery in their marriage was broadcast, this black dress went down in records as one of the most unforgettable moments of popular culture.

Sotheby's auction house predicts that the dress could find a buyer for up to $300,000 at the sale to be held on December 9.
Historic Sales History
While Princess Diana put some of her outfits up for sale in 1997 to raise funds for charities, this special piece is heading to auction again for the first time.
