Hi guys to my knowledge

Tuesday, June 29, 1993: (David Sassoon/Lorcan Mullany: Black long draped slip-dress w/gold embroidered chain shoulder straps & bow at the hip)
(p.m.): Diana, Patron, Chicken Shed Theatre Company, and/or The Trust for Sick Children in Wales, attends a Gala Opening Night of the Kirov Ballet performing “Romeo and Juliet” at the London Coliseum, London WC2


I have this info from my Diana diary that I have on my computer. I'm working on 1993 so that is why I posted it. Hope it helps
 
Thanks Linmaeylou,
I got the date on the site rexfeatures, but sometimes, the dates aren't correct.

Roseroyal:
Please could you pass the date of the event described in the gettyimages?

These are certainly two dresses that have made Diana stay in our memory forever. I'm very glad they're will be destined for a laudable cause. :)
 
I'm glad that over a decade after the Christie's auction, the dresses are still raising money for charity, but I also feel some of the owners do it for "show and tell." They could just as easily donate the gowns to clothing museums and donate a generous sum from their own estates to the charities Diana care about. (If they are rich enough to buy couture or high fashion pieces, they are rich enough to donate to charity without throwing a auction benefit.)

So why not do it for "show and tell"? People have a perfect right to get out of their actions and generosity whatever they want. The same goes for famous art, cars and jewelry. If they are not allowed to do it the way they chose to perhaps they should just keep their money as well and people having issues with it can raise and donate the equivalent amount instead.
 
I feel that the impact of the original auction has been lost. That now, when people re-auction the gowns, it is to beat an old horse that died long ago, rather than because they have any original ideas about how to raise money for charity. Or donate their own money to charity without the frou-frou of an auction. (And technically, it's not their own money they are donating: it's money from the people who bought the dresses they are re-selling.)

Yes, I'm cynical but I highly doubt these sellers would be giving anything to charity if these weren't the Princess Diana dresses. If they were gowns by Babe Paley, I bet they would sell them and keep the proceeds. Hence, my complaints about the "show-and-tell."
 
Thanks for sharing. Wow, she hardly ever got it wrong!

I feel the exact same way you do. I bet that if Diana had not died, the dresses would not be worth as much, and people would keep them. It is a shame. Pity that the good impact of the original sale has been lost, but Diana did good, and she had no idea the way things would turn out.

The Elvis dress is my favorite Di gown.
