Replica by Emanuel (original designers) of H.R.H. Princess Diana's bridal gown and related accessories, 1981, sold for 48-thousand British pounds. 3. The duplicate bridal shoes (with some Nottingham lace features), designed and made by Clive Shilton, fitted to and worn by Princess Diana, 1981, sold for 36-thousand British pounds.
