I think the dress is lot #25 on auction21to30

I have a photo of her in the burgundy gown from 6th Dec 1989 for a charity gala. The note didn't specify for which charity.

To the best of my knowledge, that's the only occasion this burgundy dress was worn in public, and very few photos of it exist.
The gown is one of Catherine Walker's misses, I'd say - the gathering of velvet looks cumbersome.
But what a great link to a site with many rare pics, thank you Incas!

I dedicated 1 h to see all the photos from this forum and my only comment can be: "Princess Di, we miss not only you as person but also your style and glamour...."

Is four times a record for any dress?

There was a cherise/red gown with a cowl that she wore quite a bit during the early 90s. She also wore her blue day dress with brightly coloured flowers quite a bit.

Thank Mermaid1962, I've been watching with interest Camilla's 'recycling' and the attention it receives in the press
