When Princess Diana walked down the aisle in 1981, the world was anxiously waiting to see what sort of fairy tale frock she would wear.

What a lot of the world didn’t know was that the fancy wedding dress she wore wasn’t her only dress option. There was, on reserve, a backup wedding dress which would act as a stand-in if Diana’s dress was revealed before the big day.

Now, it is just being shared for the first time.

“At the time we wanted to make absolutely sure that the dress was a surprise,” said Elizabeth Emmauel of Elizabeth and David Emmanuel designs, who created both gowns. “Had the secret of the real dress got out it’s possible that Diana would actually have worn this one.”
