I just received mine. Got it from Amazon.com. Nice book, similiar to the book by Catherine Walker. I was disappointed that there weren't any new pictures of Diana.

I just finished the book and found that if you are a fan or just interested about the dress then it is a must read. The pictures are mostly centered around the construction of the dress and they give very nice details about well.. the details. It was a quick read and probably something to just thumb through in the library or the bookstore. BUT if you are a collector etc it would be a nice addition to your personal library.

I was especially surprised with how much embellishment was on the dress. The hours of sewing pearls and sequins on one dress. It really brought home the idea that that dress was intended for a future princess and eventual Queen of England. WOW!

"A Dress For Diana" is being reissued in June in a "limited edition of 1,000 copies."

The extra is "repackaging", plus "a swatch of material that was used to make the dress."

There is no information about the price.

Hey all. About a year ago, I remember hearing about a book that talked about Diana's wedding dress and came with a sample of the type of fabric used to make it. I did some searches but couldn't find any thing. Am I going nuts or was this a real book?

[Warren]

Hi VuMom, this thread is about that book. The "limited edition" includes a swatch of the weding dress material.

I do not see how the publishing of the book can be sad. It is an account of the dressmaker of her bridal dress and has as such historical value for later generations. Can not see Diana objecting to them publishing it (and earning money from it)
