@@Dia_7homSarah, D. of York, had her own personal dressmaker at the Church when she married Andrew. I recall seeing her dressmaker at the entrance helping to straighten Sarah’s dress before she entered the church.
@@DVPerry220I remember seeing that too. At the time I thought it was because Diana’s dress really did need someone to sort it out for her before she went down the aisle and they didn’t want the same thing happening with Sarah
They did "straighten it out" as best as they could but nothing would have helped except STEAMING it. Do you have ANY idea how long THAT would take... HOURS. With SEVERAL professionals. There was nothing they COULD do. And tbh I always thought it was just how it looked. 😂 I wasn't born when she married but seeing the pictures I just thought it's how it was supposed to look because nobody spoke about it being creased until very recently. So I never looked close enough to notice. I've seen the dress on display and I've NEVER liked it on her. It's not the dress she needed. And this is CLEARLY the designers making what THEY want and NOT listening to the client and what SHE wanted. I honestly believe Diana had VERY little input on her dress. She trusted the professionals and they screwed her over for it. She was so tiny and didn't need giant ugly puffy sleeves blowing her up. I wish the top had been more like Catherine's, which was hugely popular back then. My mother's wedding dress had basically the same style as Catherine's dress and it was re worn by from the 50s all the way through till the late 80s when it became SEVERAL christening gowns. 😂 She needed something timeless. That would inspire wedding design for decades. Like Catherine's which is STILL being used as inspiration almost 15 years later. Also Sarah York still has the WORST royal wedding dress EVER. 😂 She had TOO MUCH input so it ended up a jumbled mess. So at least Diana NARROWLY MISSED that dubious honour. ☠️🤷♀️🤣
@@cececox6399I don’t know about anyone else on this thread but I wasn’t talking about getting the wrinkles out, I was talking about straightening it out because as she walked up the stairs you could see her underskirts… because she had so much dress and the carriage was small, or not intended to carry such a large load so the dress got squished en route to the church. Everyone was concentrating on her left side and how the wind was affecting it, and I don’t think anyone realised the right side looked so bad. The style of the sleeves were very much in fashion for wedding dresses back then, but I think we can all agree that with the neckline ruffles and the bow on it combined with the puffy sleeves wasn’t great, to put it mildly 😂 Diana had discovered bulimia at this point and was losing weight so fast that she had to go into the designers place to try it on and get it taken in every other week, by her own words she said that the dress was stunning when she first tried it on but on the day she had lost so much weight it made the sleeves and ruffles take over the entire dress on her petite frame. The contingent dress would have looked so much better than the one she actually wore, but that’s just my opinion. Poofy, meringue dresses were thankfully outdated by the time William and Kate married, and the look nowadays is modest and simple, but elegant. Sarah Ferguson’s dress was - and still is - the worst dress in royal family history, but then again Sarah didn’t have anyone telling her that design was a gauche and clumsy mess… or if they did tell her that then she ignored what everyone was saying and went with - again, in my opinion - the ugly one. But then Sarah walks like a farmers wife, so it didn’t matter what she wore because she would still have looked like a bag of crap in anything. My fave wedding dress is the one worn by Beatrice or Eugenia, I can never remember which is which but the one who got married during covid and she wore her grandma’s dress, that was a beautiful, classy design and a fab choice for many reasons ❤
I remember watching this as a six year old girl and thinking that she was the most beautiful woman in the world, on that day. I forgot her dress wrinkled at all because Diana was the star, more so than her dress. She was one of a kind. ❤
Totally agree, anyone who works with material would know this. Raw silk is expensive but I wouldn't use it in a month of Sundays as its notorious for creasing... silk taffeta would have been much better 😊
I heard that Camila helped Princess Diana pick the materials and she probably knew it would wrinkle 90% ugly. Princess Diana 👑 crown was so beautiful and pretty on her that it helped her wedding dress look adorable. 👑♥️🎀
The biggest problem with this dress was the amount of fabric used. Diana said in one of her books that the dress had to be wadded up to get it all into the car. She also stated that it took 4 people to help hold sections of the dress each time she needed to use the restroom. No privacy for Princess Diana on that day! 😢
Thought the same, how the heck are designers claiming to not know the "behaviour" of the material they used in different conditions (as when sitting in a car with an enormous amount of fabric in the skirt)?
Well, I say they couldn’t helped, but known!! And anyone that says they didn’t know, aren’t very bright! One would almost wonder if this ill fitting wrinkled puff tent was designed this way on purpose!!!
I never liked her dress. I couldn’t believe how wrinkled it was. And it was just way too much of everything! More isn’t always better. The designers used no restraint
It was ugly. I think she was to polite and shy to tell the designer. She was normally so fashionable. That dress didn’t let her shine. It swallowed her whole.😢
@@lauriekrebsbach8190 Actually, at the time of her engagement & wedding, Poor Diana was anything BUT "fashionable". Remember that ugly blue dress she wore when they announced their engagement ? It was blue & made her look 30 lbs overweight.It was NOT until AFTER her marriage to Prince Charles, when she had "dressers" that guided her into the world of fashion. Then, she met ALL these mavens of fashion & dress designers, such as Jacques Azagury, Bruce Oldsfield, Arabella Pollen, David Sassoon, Catherine Walker, Stephen Jones & some other women,, whose names I cannot remember. After her divorce, of course, it was Versace, But before Prince Charles, she REALLY needed help. Remember that awful strapless black gown, at their first public date ?? Later, she was called "Dynasty Di", But within a year of their marriage, that is when she REALLY began to shine.
It was what Diana wanted...a "fairy tale " thing. And remember she was only 20 and had no real style.I liked the big skirt but from the waist up..i thought it was awful. Those bows and big sleeves.. even Fergie's was better.
The dress was iconic and yet still beautiful. But no wrinkle on that dress could take away from the beauty of Diana! She was breathtaking and elegant in it.
Agree! I never liked that dress, but I guess it was the 80's ,so that was the style. She would look so beautiful in some of the modern dresses that are around now
I don't like it either but she asked for this style specifically and approved the design. Apparently she adored it. I guess that's what matters, even if we disagree.
The dress was made according to what Diana wanted. Don't you know that she is the one who wanted to "look like a princess?" She was very young and wanted a big, beautiful dress.
When shopping, the simple test of a garment is to squeeze a handful of fabric. It it crumples badly I do t even try on the garment. Why would dress designers not know that the fabric would wrinkle so badly?
And why run a test of the dress with a DIFFERENT FABRIC? Didn't they know that whatever carriage she took coming or going was going to crush the dress? Just dumb!
I got to view The Dress at a traveling museum show featuring Diana's fashions. It was quite impressive and beautiful, though I'm sure the curators steamed the hell out of it! The embroidered train was spectacular. The dress was displayed along with the flower girl attendants' dresses and the effect was charming.
The dress overwhelmed Diana. It was an overdone, poorly fitted, frilly nightmare and was not at all flattering to Diana-even back in the 80s. It looks even worse by today’s standards of fashion.
I remember thinking at the time “Where was her mother??? Why didn’t she advise Diana that this was a poor choice???” A 19 year old girl can’t be relied upon to make the best choices. This dress, unfortunately, certainly was a poor choice.
As designers they should’ve known and it earned them worldwide criticism. Have never liked these designers and they created a very heavy and unflattering dress for a 19 year old !
Seriously it definitely aged her if I didn't know I wouldn't have thought she was a 19 yr old, I understand that was kind of the fashion of the 80's but without the veil & train it reminded me of an over the top prom dress that everyone was wearing during that period.😂😂
I think the dress made her look bigger than it justified. The tiara and veil also made her face rounder than it should be. It's the beautiful Diana who carried it well that offset the down side of the gown. It is also my personal preference that white be used for wedding gown rather than creamy beige. White should have been a better choice for a pure young bride like her.
Ugliest dress ever, if he was going to marry my sister no way would I have wanted him, she wanted to be princess so she paid the price, she was a immature brat, I don’t know how he put up with her
I think everyone was horrified. I was only a kid and even I thought it looked disgusting. It wasn't even a hot mess; it was like 12 different dresses all mated and gave birth to that monstrosity.
The fit of the design and the actual gown simply overpowered Diana's lovely frame. It did not flatter her at all! Who cares about the amount of fabric and embellishments, if it doesn't showcase Diana's beauty?
it was of its time, im sure she wiuld have chosen differently now,in ten years time different again, tastes change. it was the fairytale wedding wasnt it.
Why would a designer do a dress rehearsal with different material? Obviously, it’s not going to be the same exact results. I was a little girl when I watched Princess Diana’s wedding on TV with my family. Even as a little girl, I wasn’t impressed with the dress. Princess Diana was still so beautiful!💖RIP Princess
I watched and enjoyed every minute of the wedding. However, I remember thinking that it was the worst wedding dress of all time. The funny thing was that I attended two weddings in the following years in which the brides wore copies of that dress. They were equally bad. Anyway, they were happy on their days, and that’s what counts.
It was such a disappointment when she arrived at the Cathedral. My fiancé and I were sitting beside Prince and Princess Ludwig of Baden, I heard a gasp as she saw the dress. This was echoed by the ladies along the aisle, but not in a good way. I remember listening to people making kind comments to the new Princess but in private, it was clear that most had been very disappointed by the gown. It utterly dwarfed her delicate figure, her face looked so small and lost. It really didn't matter. In the years that followed, The Princess of Wales became one of the greatest fashion icons the world had ever seen. Her beautiful daughter-in-law Catherine has followed perfectly in her footsteps.
Diana's wedding dress is the most awful of all time! The designers did her a terrible injustice by pulling together that most unflattering, discombobulated, puffy and tent-like "thing" for her special day. THEY were horrified over the wrinkles and size of it because the trial run gown was in a different material and moved better?? Duh...know your materials, "designers"! Beautiful Diana appeared to be fine with it and happy that day. I hope so.
I never understood it either, until a documentary about the Royal Family’s official rule book. Unless something has changed since the Queen’s passing, the women are only allowed to wear clear, shades of nude, or very light pink nail polish, for example. They had to wear pantyhose EVERY time they wore a dress, no matter the length and style of the dress, the season, etcetera. Those little things aren’t a big deal until you have an entire Handbook of them for every day of your life. They had to follow the rules of modesty for the dress at the time of the Queen, and unfortunately--it was the 1980’s. As a GenX kid I can say most of it was AWFUL. if you look at most wedding dresses from that time, and especially any formal for sometimes semi-formal had those horrendous puffy sleeves. I am with you on how terrible it is. And every designer knows to have the steamers ready. It was a little more difficult managing because of the technology, but then you use a different fabric!! I always wonder what a young Lady Diana Spencer would have chosen for herself…
I know nothing about fashion, but do you think she would’ve fared better if she went to a more seasoned designer! There are enough British designers to pick from. These two seemed to know nothing about what they were doing.
Well Princess Diana absolutely loved it, it was her dream wedding dress. The designer was not horrified at the dress, just the crinkles caused by Diana sitting in the carriage.
As a little girl at the time of the wedding, I was IN lOVE with this dress. My sister made a similar one for my Barbie doll. This was an unforgettable dress made for an unforgettable woman.❤
It appeared to uncrumple as the ceremony went on. Diana looked like Cinderella that day. Her sparkling tiara is the best one I've seen and she looked like the most beautiful bride ever.
@@janiehalstead3581Charlotte isn’t a Spencer and won’t inherit it.. It a Spencer family piece and would stay within the direct family of the earl spencer
Absolutely THE WORST WEDDING DRESS I HAVE EVER SEEN. I HONESTLY WONDERED IF IT COULD HAVE BEEN POSSIBLE THAT CAMELA WAS FRIENDS WITH THE WOMAN WHO CREATED THAT MONSTER OF A DRESS. & DO TO THE AFFAIR THAT HAD BEEN GOING ON ORC"WAS" STILL GOING ON I THOUGHT IT WAS A WAY OF CAMELA PUTTING HER "MARK" ON THAT WEDDING. WHO NOWS. BUT IT SURELY DID LOOK LIKE A VERY BAD OMON YIKES WHAT A DISASTER IT WAS 🤔🤨🧐
It looks like a workout to carry all that down the aile. I don't care what Diana wears, she's loved and adored for who she is! I watched their wedding on t.v. at my first nursing job with the patients, not imagining the horrors she would experience, and the legacy of love she'd leave in her wake. She had a much bigger job than she could've imagined. Thanks for showing this..She still in our hearts. 💕
The ONLY "real horrors" was having a driver, her last, who was drunk & she NOT using her seat belt. The ONLY survivor of 31 Aug 1997, was the one that DID use his seat belt.
@@gritsNgravy-fn5ic I meant all the marital problems and Diana not fitting in as a regular royal. She went through a lot of heart ache, as she still courageously worked hard to bring attention to and help the less fortunate. When she had Harry, the then Prince checked in to make sure he had a spare, and soon was off to, probably Camilla. It was very heart breaking for her, though she seldom showed it in public, keeping up her image and loyalty to the people.❤❤❤
@@janetlee4421 Yes, I completely agree with you. Unlike "certain" people, Princess Diana stuck to her guns, so to speak, and carried on. I think she TRULY loved the then, Prince of Wales, but, let's face it, he "had" to marry P.D., but in his heart, he ALWAYS belonged to ONLY one woman, Queen Camilla. I'm REALLY sorry because, CLEARLY, he was probably her First Love. She had to have REALLY suffered, loving a man, who would NEVER love her, NOT in the way she wanted him to. Unless you have loved someone, knowing full-well, it would ALWAYS be an Unrequited Love (and, unfortunately, I have) this pain NEVER goes away. I am SO sorry she suffered, God Rest her Soul.
@@shells500tutubo It's much prettier than the early 2000's or any point of the early, mid, or late 2000s. And far superior than any design before or after the 1980's so, I cannot view such a creation with such ugliness.
I agree. So what if it's a bit wrinkled...it's a dress, she was not a mannequin, she was so very human, and flawed, like all of us, and her dress shouldn't have been "perfect" either.
Um vestido assustador. A princesa Diana parecia enrolada em lençóis e mais lençóis que tivessem sido, inclusive, mal colocados sobre ela e ligados por pontos de costura mal feitos. Não compreendi a proposta dos idealizadores de um vestido de noiva tão pesado, feio e sem qualquer graciosidade. Mangas volumosas demais, gola completamente esquisita, saias e mais saias volumosas e pesadas, um bouquet que mais parecia um enfeite fúnebre. O véu tinha quilômetros! Enfim um conjunto pavoroso, exceto pela lindíssima coroa e pela graça natural da princesa.
Her flower bouquet was beautiful, and her dress was alright the 80's style, even though her dress got wrinkled, she still looked beautiful, no one like Diana!!!❤
The wedding dress is absolutely beautiful, and Princess Diana looked absolutely beautiful and stunning in her wedding dress. The vail and all, including the bouquet, are all absolutely beautiful. Befitting a Princess and such a gracesful, wonderful, kind and loving human being.
The dress overwhelmed her with huge puffy frilly bits. She was a pretty Lady and didn't need all that frufru. I thought Sarah Ferguson's was much nicer in comparison.
I'm Italian, as far as I remember, here the point was not about beauty or elegance of the dress, but about the richness of it and how much it would impress people and will it be memorable. From this point of view, we can agree that it was successful.
Well didn’t Diana herself, have a say in the design of the dress??!! If she did, she didn’t have very good taste in wedding gowns!! If she didn’t have a say, she must have been somewhat embarrassed and horrified at the same time!!
Diana looked beautiful. The dress was perfect. She looked just like a princess should look. Breathtaking. No one will ever come near her beauty elegance style and compassion. No one but Diana. She will never be forgotten.
Always thought the dress could have been a beautiful throw back to ball gowns but instead felt the neckline and bodice didn’t compliment Princess Diana at all. To me, the bodice seemed too much frumpiness on a lovely young girl.
Finally!!! People have stopped calling this mess “iconic”. Even as a child, I thought it was sloppy. It looked like my sheets after a tumble in the dryer. She was too young to use her voice.
No Idea how old you are BUT it was at the Height of its fashion and Millions of Wedding and Evening dresses were bought on this theme at that time.. The workmanship was Out Standing !! So much detail... I saw it on display and jaw dropping.
YES...BUT that was the Look...It was also going to give Diana a Huge Dollop of Support... St Paul's in London is Huge !!...The dress had to be Big and Blown... and I've always suspected... Diana may have needed that!!
I watched the wedding when i was about 6 years old and the thing that captivated me the most was her sparking tiara and the tiny sparking crystals dotted on her veil. Still my favourite thing to this day.
Stolen?? Strange way to describe a fashion trend.😂 That dress style was iconic in the 80s. I guess I'm wearing stolen fashion from the 70s when I wear my wide leg jeans. Who knew!!
It is unpredictable how people’s thought have changed a lot. Back in the time when audiences in the world were admired for the wedding gown, and adores how nice the dress was for Princess Diana even lots of women in the world wanted to copy the same dress for their wedding gown. How come now people have the different comments on the same dress?
I watched the dress live at the time when I was a young bride myself. I thought it was horrible. And I didn't see the wrinkles because the tv picture wasn't that clear. It was just an awful design. I didn't like anything about it.
I loved the dress, it was so right for the time. My two main memories of the day are 1- the state of the dress when she came out of the carriage, and, 2- the train and veil rippling down the stairs after Charles and Diana. That was stunning ❤
I never liked this dress. Hated the horse collar of lace around the neck, and the sleeves made it look like Colonial America -- like something Martha Washington would wear. I thought her veil/train was miles too long. The whole thing was just off.
I remember seeing Diana’s dress . Although I didn’t care for the design ultimately it was Diana’s choice. Diana looked beautiful in everything she wore. She looked storybook beautiful. A true princess.🌻❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I keep reading the negative comments on this dress. Example, the dress did not compliment her, it look so crumpled on her wedding day. Anyway, I can still remember watching this wedding day on live tv. I never noticed any of the such comments until now. I just saw her beauty!!! Lady Di, could have worn a sheet and look as beautiful!!!
It was a very impressive dress. I saw it at Mall of America when it was on display along with her shoes she wore, an umbrella in case it rained, letters from Prince Charles, childhood photos, etc. It was impressive with more detail than I thought, but so big in terms of the amount of material.
She was so beautiful. Nobody cared that it crumpled, it just made people love her more as she was a stunning picture of imperfection. I watched the whole wedding and I loved her dearly.
Although fashion tastes do change and the young are currently donning gowns reminiscent of negligees, Princess Di's dress was fabulous haute couture, fabulous with wrinkles and all. It was perfect for the event and I LOVED LOVED LOVED it !!!
LOL valid of course BUT ...It truly was not! If you'd seen the Dress in the flesh...& workmanship & the small details... As I Did when it was displayed...IT WAS STUNNINGLY BEAUTIFUL
I was always surprised that they didn't have an attendent at the arrival to straighten it.
I wondered why they never had anyone there to do that also. It really needed sorted before she went down the aisle

Seriously it definitely aged her if I didn't know I wouldn't have thought she was a 19 yr old, I understand that was kind of the fashion of the 80's but without the veil & train it reminded me of an over the top prom dress that everyone was wearing during that period.😂😂
I hated that dress. It didn't do justice to Diana. It just wasn't her.
Same with the marraige! 😅
Ja też miałam sukienkę nie fajną i fatalne małżeństwo. Coś do cholery w tym jest.
It was exactly her at that time, she loved ott ruffles and bows
The whole thing was a sham.
I think the dress made her look bigger than it justified. The tiara and veil also made her face rounder than it should be. It's the beautiful Diana who carried it well that offset the down side of the gown. It is also my personal preference that white be used for wedding gown rather than creamy beige. White should have been a better choice for a pure young bride like her.
Diana helped design her dress
She loved it and that's all that really matters
Ugliest dress ever, if he was going to marry my sister no way would I have wanted him, she wanted to be princess so she paid the price, she was a immature brat, I don’t know how he put up with her
Being a princess you would think that it would have been so beautiful that it would take your breath away
I’m sorry but I think Diana’s dress was the ugliest dress I’ve seen any royal get married in , which was such a shame as Diana was so beautiful …
Thank you for just saying that straight out. I thought it was ugly back then and over the years my opinion hasn't changed.
It is an ugly dress for a beautiful bride.
It hid her shape and just looked about 4 sizes too big
If I recall correctly, she hated it too.
Very much a product of the 80s
Princess Diana was a beautiful woman. She looked lost in that monstrosity of a dress.
I think everyone was horrified. I was only a kid and even I thought it looked disgusting. It wasn't even a hot mess; it was like 12 different dresses all mated and gave birth to that monstrosity.
The fit of the design and the actual gown simply overpowered Diana's lovely frame. It did not flatter her at all! Who cares about the amount of fabric and embellishments, if it doesn't showcase Diana's beauty?
I agree with you.
Was too much
it was of its time, im sure she wiuld have chosen differently now,in ten years time different again, tastes change. it was the fairytale wedding wasnt it.
It was spectacular back then. My prom dress was a replica.
@@pianoreigns💯 and it was Princess Diana's dream dress.
Why would a designer do a dress rehearsal with different material? Obviously, it’s not going to be the same exact results. I was a little girl when I watched Princess Diana’s wedding on TV with my family. Even as a little girl, I wasn’t impressed with the dress. Princess Diana was still so beautiful!💖RIP Princess
I watched and enjoyed every minute of the wedding. However, I remember thinking that it was the worst wedding dress of all time. The funny thing was that I attended two weddings in the following years in which the brides wore copies of that dress. They were equally bad. Anyway, they were happy on their days, and that’s what counts.
agree
It was as a terrible dress. I couldn’t believe then and now that this was the dress chosen for Diana. She deserved so much more.
It was such a disappointment when she arrived at the Cathedral. My fiancé and I were sitting beside Prince and Princess Ludwig of Baden, I heard a gasp as she saw the dress. This was echoed by the ladies along the aisle, but not in a good way. I remember listening to people making kind comments to the new Princess but in private, it was clear that most had been very disappointed by the gown. It utterly dwarfed her delicate figure, her face looked so small and lost.
It really didn't matter. In the years that followed, The Princess of Wales became one of the greatest fashion icons the world had ever seen. Her beautiful daughter-in-law Catherine has followed perfectly in her footsteps.
No Doubt the Princess loved her dress
That's all that mattered ❤👑👸
Actually from what I read, Diana hated the gown...
@@Deborahtunes I also read that, and that she hated that she allowed them to make her look like a "milk-maid".
She hated that dress. Can u blame her. Someone has it out for her.
But she didn't...
@@gritsNgravy-fn5ic ~ A milk maid...😂😂😂
Diana's wedding dress is the most awful of all time! The designers did her a terrible injustice by pulling together that most unflattering, discombobulated, puffy and tent-like "thing" for her special day.
THEY were horrified over the wrinkles and size of it because the trial run gown was in a different material and moved better?? Duh...know your materials, "designers"!
Beautiful Diana appeared to be fine with it and happy that day. I hope so.
I never understood it either, until a documentary about the Royal Family’s official rule book. Unless something has changed since the Queen’s passing, the women are only allowed to wear clear, shades of nude, or very light pink nail polish, for example.
They had to wear pantyhose EVERY time they wore a dress, no matter the length and style of the dress, the season, etcetera. Those little things aren’t a big deal until you have an entire Handbook of them for every day of your life. They had to follow the rules of modesty for the dress at the time of the Queen, and unfortunately--it was the 1980’s. As a GenX kid I can say most of it was AWFUL. if you look at most wedding dresses from that time, and especially any formal for sometimes semi-formal had those horrendous puffy sleeves. I am with you on how terrible it is. And every designer knows to have the steamers ready.
It was a little more difficult managing because of the technology, but then you use a different fabric!! I always wonder what a young Lady Diana Spencer would have chosen for herself…
I know nothing about fashion, but do you think she would’ve fared better if she went to a more seasoned designer! There are enough British designers to pick from. These two seemed to know nothing about what they were doing.
I couldn't agree with you more! The dress was definitely the most awful of all time!
I was shocked when I first saw that hideous gown. 😮
Yes it was really ugly.
That dress was the most horrific fashion fail I've seen. Thank goodness Diana was so beautiful the dress was secondary anyhow.🩷
Add it to Markle's badly fitted ugly sac .
Hated this dress. Looked like it belonged in the Victorian era. Diana appeared to be drowning in all the excessive fabric.
Not even. A dress from the Victorian era would have looked way prettier.
You like minimal? Sexy slutty?
Well Princess Diana absolutely loved it, it was her dream wedding dress. The designer was not horrified at the dress, just the crinkles caused by Diana sitting in the carriage.
Ta suknia jest pognieciona. Wygląda przez to nieciekawie. Zgadzam się z Tobą,jest za dużo tkaniny.Młodzi wyglądali na szczęśliwych.
Ja gut , war ja auch nicht dein Hochzeitskleid 😊
When we watched the wedding live no one noticed the wrinkles, we were all entranced by how lovely the dress was and how sweet Diana looked!
It was ugly, even at that time. Always wondered what her advisors were thinking.
As a little girl at the time of the wedding, I was IN lOVE with this dress. My sister made a similar one for my Barbie doll. This was an unforgettable dress made for an unforgettable woman.❤
I remember being horrified when I saw it
Looked like someone had gone to the laundry basket and emptied the contents on her head
Perfectly said!!
Yes, it is, what a shame ... 😢
Sad he didn't love Diana...he didn't care, his suit wasn't all wrinkled!!! I bet Camilla dress was ironed starched pressed & crisp lol
😂
The designers obviously weren’t talented enough if they were horrified on the wedding day. That is unacceptable
It appeared to uncrumple as the ceremony went on. Diana looked like Cinderella that day. Her sparkling tiara is the best one I've seen and she looked like the most beautiful bride ever.
Her Tierra is gourgeous. It’s the Spencer Tierra. It’s possible Princess Charlotte may inherit it
Couldn't agree more, she was just stunning xx
Dream on, the Spencers are unlikely to give it away, charlotte is a Windsor not a Spencer@@janiehalstead3581
@@janiehalstead3581Charlotte isn’t a Spencer and won’t inherit it..
It a Spencer family piece and would stay within the direct family of the earl spencer
Absolutely THE WORST WEDDING DRESS I HAVE EVER SEEN. I HONESTLY WONDERED IF IT COULD HAVE BEEN POSSIBLE THAT CAMELA WAS FRIENDS WITH THE WOMAN WHO CREATED THAT MONSTER OF A DRESS. & DO TO THE AFFAIR THAT HAD BEEN GOING ON ORC"WAS" STILL GOING ON I THOUGHT IT WAS A WAY OF CAMELA PUTTING HER "MARK" ON THAT WEDDING. WHO NOWS. BUT IT SURELY DID LOOK LIKE A VERY BAD OMON YIKES WHAT A DISASTER IT WAS 🤔🤨🧐
That dress was just so MUCH. A woman as gorgeous as Diana needed a simple, clean elegance that wasn’t competing with her but ELEVATING her.
It was the worst ever wedding dress I've ever seen🤢 not only the material but the design is the worst
Totally agree. It was horrible! Everything about it was disgusting.
Totally agree!
@@shirleyelmore6540
Even the colour of the dress was horrendous. 🤮
I never liked that silly bow on the front. That’s for girls under the age of 7.
@@feoltmanns7624 righttttt 😐
I thought the princess and her gown were both gorgeous.
RIP Lovely lady Diana.
It is truly an awful dress.
It looks like a workout to carry all that down the aile. I don't care what Diana wears, she's loved and adored for who she is! I watched their wedding on t.v. at my first nursing job with the patients, not imagining the horrors she would experience, and the legacy of love she'd leave in her wake. She had a much bigger job than she could've imagined. Thanks for showing this..She still in our hearts. 💕
The ONLY "real horrors" was having a driver, her last, who was drunk & she NOT using her seat belt. The ONLY survivor of 31 Aug 1997, was the one that DID use his seat belt.
@@gritsNgravy-fn5ic I meant all the marital problems and Diana not fitting in as a regular royal. She went through a lot of heart ache, as she still courageously worked hard to bring attention to and help the less fortunate. When she had Harry, the then Prince checked in to make sure he had a spare, and soon was off to, probably Camilla. It was very heart breaking for her, though she seldom showed it in public, keeping up her image and loyalty to the people.❤❤❤
@@janetlee4421 Yes, I completely agree with you. Unlike "certain" people, Princess Diana stuck to her guns, so to speak, and carried on. I think she TRULY loved the then, Prince of Wales, but, let's face it, he "had" to marry P.D., but in his heart, he ALWAYS belonged to ONLY one woman, Queen Camilla. I'm REALLY sorry because, CLEARLY, he was probably her First Love. She had to have REALLY suffered, loving a man, who would NEVER love her, NOT in the way she wanted him to. Unless you have loved someone, knowing full-well, it would ALWAYS be an Unrequited Love (and, unfortunately, I have) this pain NEVER goes away. I am SO sorry she suffered, God Rest her Soul.
The most Ridiculous thing ever! That long, Narrow train was totally out of proportion to the rest of the dress.
I absolutely adore the dress. It's timeless, and a showstopper.
Iconic and inspired millions of similar brides dresses... at that time...
It is totally dated and very specific to the 80s, a decade of bad taste.
@@shells500tutubo It's much prettier than the early 2000's or any point of the early, mid, or late 2000s. And far superior than any design before or after the 1980's so, I cannot view such a creation with such ugliness.
I agree. So what if it's a bit wrinkled...it's a dress, she was not a mannequin, she was so very human, and flawed, like all of us, and her dress shouldn't have been "perfect" either.
Um vestido assustador. A princesa Diana parecia enrolada em lençóis e mais lençóis que tivessem sido, inclusive, mal colocados sobre ela e ligados por pontos de costura mal feitos. Não compreendi a proposta
dos idealizadores de um vestido de noiva tão pesado, feio e sem qualquer graciosidade. Mangas volumosas demais, gola completamente esquisita, saias e mais saias volumosas e pesadas, um bouquet que mais parecia um enfeite fúnebre. O véu tinha quilômetros! Enfim um conjunto pavoroso, exceto pela lindíssima coroa e pela graça natural da princesa.
You described it so well. That wedding gown is horrible, but still Diana looks beautiful ...
@@RismaPeggy-ug9cn yes!
Good point about the bouquet.
She Looked Beautiful And The Dress Was Perfect
I agree 👍
I watched the wedding live broadcast on TV, I was a teenager then and I was confused with so much wrinkled dress😳
Her flower bouquet was beautiful, and her dress was alright the 80's style, even though her dress got wrinkled, she still looked beautiful, no one like Diana!!!❤
Princess Diana's wedding gown is the ugliest gown I've ever seen in royal family.
or ever
Facts!
The wedding dress is absolutely beautiful, and Princess Diana looked absolutely beautiful and stunning in her wedding dress. The vail and all, including the bouquet, are all absolutely beautiful. Befitting a Princess and such a gracesful, wonderful, kind and loving human being.
Diana still looked radiant like any other bride!
EXACTLY 💯
Clearly you were blinded by the pageantry she has said in her own words she couldn’t get out of it and knew he was still seeing his lover.
@@atomikotita I agree but she was still BEAUTIFUL. They did her so wrong unfortunately.
She looks beautiful in anything...the people's princess 💞
.
The dress overwhelmed her with huge puffy frilly bits. She was a pretty Lady and didn't need all that frufru. I thought Sarah Ferguson's was much nicer in comparison.
I agree with you
The puffy frilly bits were high fashion, and Diana was tall enough to carry it off.
Sarah's dress was so much prettier than Diana's.
@@normacascio9041Kate's dress was simply gorgeous.
I didn't like the wedding dress at all. I thought it was ugly. So old fashion and those sleeves 😂
Such an iconic dress…..the grandeur of this dress and only Diana can carry such dress!
I remember that at the time everyone was commenting that it was the ugliest dress they had ever seen@
Strange that you remember that! I remember people saying that it was gorgeous!
@@arealphoney "Recollections vary."
@@arealphoneyI never heard that either! Actually, women were having replicas made for their own weddings.
I'm Italian, as far as I remember, here the point was not about beauty or elegance of the dress, but about the richness of it and how much it would impress people and will it be memorable. From this point of view, we can agree that it was successful.
Only for bitter and negative people 😂😂
Singularly the ugliest dress EVER
have said that since that wedding
All this criticism, and yet, for the next ten years, it was the most popular design for wedding dresses.
U don’t say??!!!! Now, THAT is a PUZZLE!!!!
Maybe it was an ugly dress on them, too.
What a horrifying ten years!!
Not popular as design, only popular as a status symbol. As many thing in British culture. Noone likes them but it's a must have-British thing.
Mariah Carey said she had her wedding dress( when she married Tommy Motolla ages ago) made very similar to Princess Diana's
It was a mess of a dress. It’s ironic that a woman who hardly ever took a bad photo looked such a disaster on her wedding day.
Who cares about crinkles? The design is horrid and there are no satisfactory excuses for that other than the designers!
I didn't care for it either--- to each his own, she might not have liked my dress either. ( it was gorgeous btw 😊)
Well didn’t Diana herself, have a say in the design of the dress??!!
If she did, she didn’t have very good taste in wedding gowns!! If she didn’t have a say, she must have been somewhat embarrassed and horrified at the same time!!
They failed! Good designers KNOW fabric.
This was in the 1980s, during which huge styles and ruffles were "in."
EXACTLY!
Diana looked beautiful. The dress was perfect. She looked just like a princess should look. Breathtaking. No one will ever come near her beauty elegance style and compassion. No one but Diana. She will never be forgotten.
Always thought the dress could have been a beautiful throw back to ball gowns but instead felt the neckline and bodice didn’t compliment Princess Diana at all. To me, the bodice seemed too much frumpiness on a lovely young girl.
Her bust looked matronly.
Just stunning
Truly; if you'd ever seen it on display as i did It really was... Exquisite
Loved Diana. Didn't care for the dress at all. Wedding fashion fail.
This was one of the worse wedding dresses I've ever seen.
I loved this the very embodiment of the 80's
Finally!!! People have stopped calling this mess “iconic”. Even as a child, I thought it was sloppy. It looked like my sheets after a tumble in the dryer. She was too young to use her voice.
She was beautiful but the dress was horrible! It was very ugly. Everything about the dress was ugly 🤷🏼♀️
WRONG. Feminine and soft.
@@pianoreigns you’re entitled to your opinion and so am I , it was UGLY !
I agree. Very ugly.
I my opinion everything was nice...but too much...I would have sewed three dresses 👗👗👗 with all that fabric and trimmings...I prefer Sara's dress 🥻
@@veronica21
I agree!
A classically, timeless, beautiful dress, 👗for a fairytale Princess Diana.
The wrinkles are forgettable. But the style!....probably the ugliest dress ever designed.
That was the ugliest wedding dress. Someone sabotaged Diana. Mean, just downright mean!
Beautiful.
£9000 doesn't sound that much for such a massive dress hundreds of pearls on it. Celebs spend more than that on a wedding dress.
Revolting dress for a stunning woman 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢who cares pearls etc... it was horrible 😢😢😢
Stunning???? Hardly!!!
@@beverleytinker2318 so Diana was ugly?
One of the most beautiful wedding dresses for its time !!
True, did not like the dress and excessive veil & train at all. Sleeves were awful and ruffle around neckline? Not attractive, not iconic.
No Idea how old you are BUT it was at the Height of its fashion and Millions of Wedding and Evening dresses were bought on this theme at that time.. The workmanship was Out Standing !!
So much detail... I saw it on display and jaw dropping.
It's a BEAUTIFUL dress for a beautiful princess 👑💍
The WRINKLES!! It was horrible!
Those sleeves overwhelmed both Princess Diana and the dress. She deserved a slightly more fitted bodice with gorgeous more fitted sleeves.
That dress was much too overblown for her frame. She didn’t wear the dress - the dress wore her. Simple and classic would have been so much better.
YES...BUT that was the Look...It was also going to give Diana a Huge Dollop of Support...
St Paul's in London is Huge !!...The dress had to be Big and Blown... and I've always suspected... Diana may have needed that!!
I watched the wedding when i was about 6 years old and the thing that captivated me the most was her sparking tiara and the tiny sparking crystals dotted on her veil.
Still my favourite thing to this day.
The idea of the dress is stolen from Victorian fashion, yet it was so ugly too wrinkled and the flower bouket is way too big .
I adore the bouquet 💐 and it needs the trailing green for balance - it’s elegant and ahead of its time in my unroyal opinion
She was not a "Victorian" girl.
I thought her bouquet was lovely and her tiara was absolutely stunning!!
Stolen?? Strange way to describe a fashion trend.😂 That dress style was iconic in the 80s. I guess I'm wearing stolen fashion from the 70s when I wear my wide leg jeans. Who knew!!
She looked Amazing and Beautiful in that Dress!!!🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 🎉🎉❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
The creases, the volume, the creases.
She didn't wear that dress. The dress wore her.
It is unpredictable how people’s thought have changed a lot. Back in the time when audiences in the world were admired for the wedding gown, and adores how nice the dress was for Princess Diana even lots of women in the world wanted to copy the same dress for their wedding gown. How come now people have the different comments on the same dress?
Maybe they bit their tongue out of respect towards her.. I for one thought it was ridiculous
I can't speak for anyone else I've always thought it was ugly.
The dress was very fashionable at the time. I believe it’s why so many loved it back then, compared to now.
I've always thought it was huge and ridiculous looking. Swallowed her up.
I watched the dress live at the time when I was a young bride myself. I thought it was horrible. And I didn't see the wrinkles because the tv picture wasn't that clear. It was just an awful design. I didn't like anything about it.
I loved the dress, it was so right for the time. My two main memories of the day are 1- the state of the dress when she came out of the carriage, and, 2- the train and veil rippling down the stairs after Charles and Diana. That was stunning ❤
I never liked this dress. Hated the horse collar of lace around the neck, and the sleeves made it look like Colonial America -- like something Martha Washington would wear. I thought her veil/train was miles too long. The whole thing was just off.
I think it was still so magnificently beautiful and her beauty made it pop altogether ❤❤❤❤❤
It should have been known it would wrinkle that way! How do they even think otherwise. All materials considered says wrinkle.
I agree- did the dressmakers
share the wrinkling issue beforehand with the princess? Bet not.
They say the material was silk. Warming from the body heat silk wrinkles
They might not put into consideration the wrinkles that would be caused by the horse carriage's small space to such huge wedding dress.
@@lazvegaz They should've. They were professional designers so there was no excuse. No other wedding dress in that family looked rumpled.
@@MaryTheresa1986 Was it the first time they used the fabric to that extent? I doubt that they were throwing themselves under the bus intentionally.
I remember seeing Diana’s dress .
Although I didn’t care for the design ultimately it was Diana’s choice.
Diana looked beautiful in everything she wore.
She looked storybook beautiful.
A true princess.🌻❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I keep reading the negative comments on this dress. Example, the dress did not compliment her, it look so crumpled on her wedding day. Anyway, I can still remember watching this wedding day on live tv. I never noticed any of the such comments until now. I just saw her beauty!!! Lady Di, could have worn a sheet and look as beautiful!!!
A sheet would have looked better 🫣
Always thought it was a hideous dress. 9,000 pounds 🤦♀️
It was a very impressive dress. I saw it at Mall of America when it was on display along with her shoes she wore, an umbrella in case it rained, letters from Prince Charles, childhood photos, etc. It was impressive with more detail than I thought, but so big in terms of the amount of material.
They have to put a high price tag, just for the media.
I saw it there also and agree that the details on the dress were amazing.
But I definitely thought the dress screamed- child bride!!
She was so beautiful.
Nobody cared that it crumpled, it just made people love her more as she was a stunning picture of imperfection. I watched the whole wedding and I loved her dearly.
Awful dress
I felt like it was ugly! A princess married in that??? Why didn't someone say something???
It was horrible.
Although fashion tastes do change and the young are currently donning gowns reminiscent of negligees, Princess Di's dress was fabulous haute couture, fabulous with wrinkles and all. It was perfect for the event and I LOVED LOVED LOVED it !!!
I think it was tacky. Just my opinion
LOL valid of course BUT ...It truly was not!
If you'd seen the Dress in the flesh...& workmanship & the small details... As I Did when it was displayed...IT WAS STUNNINGLY BEAUTIFUL
I always thought it looked frumpy.
