The dress, featuring a black velvet bodice embroidered with stars, was worn by Diana in 1985 in Florence and Vancouver. The auction also included a blush-pink chiffon blouse worn by Diana in her engagement portrait, which sold for $381,000. Earlier this year, a wool sweater worn by Diana during her engagement to Prince Charles set a record as the most expensive sweater ever sold at auction, fetching $1.143 million.
