In this Friday, May 28, 2010 photo, British designer Elizabeth Emanuel stands with two dresses and a blouse that she designed for Princess Diana, at an auction house in London. It was black and strapless, with a sassy sequined flounce at the bodice and a gloriously full, swishy skirt. The dress was, Lady Diana Spencer thought, so grown-up, just right for her first official engagement after the announcement she was to marry Prince Charles. The black dress is expected to fetch between 30,000 and 50,000 pounds ($44,000 to $73,000) and the prototype of the wedding dress between 8,000 and 12,000 pounds ($12,000 to $17,000) but understand that Diana's legacy means there's a strong chance a private collector may snap up the garments.
