Estimated at £250,000-£350,000 ($324,000-$454,000), the dress did not even attract a reserve, or minimum, bid of £200,000.
However, the other two dresses owned by Lady Diana was fared much better.
According to details, Diana’s long-sleeved dress by Kathrine Cusack wore in 1986 was snapped up for £60,000, or £71,000 with fees. The dress was also in midnight-blue velvet and was sold in its double maximum value.
A Catherine Walker navy wool day dress from around 1989, that Diana wore in private, according to Kerry Taylor, was bought for £35,000 or almost six times its estimated value.
