“A first glimpse of Princess Diana’s wedding dress. Emmy award-winning costume designer Amy Roberts wanted to capture the same spirit and style of David & Elizabeth Emanuel’s original design, without creating a replica for Emma Corrin.”

{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Netflix shared a trailer in late August for “The Crown’s” fourth season, which provided a brief sneak peek of the iconic gown from the rear – proving it stayed true to the incredibly long train Princess Diana’s wedding dress actually featured.
In 1981, Princess Diana made headlines for her ivory silk taffeta and antique lace gown that included a 25-foot train. Her tulle veil was also extraordinarily long at 153 yards.
Welsh fashion designer David Emanuel, 67, created Princess Diana’s original gown. For this pivotal recreation, Emanuel provided Netflix’s costume designer the patterns to make a close replica, Corrin told British Vogue last month.

“We were filming the scene when you first see her in the wedding dress – I think it was Lancaster House in London – and I had a team of about 10 people helping me put it on, because it’s massive,” Corrin said in her interview with the fashion publication. “I walked out and everyone went completely silent. More than anything else I wear in the series, it’s so… It’s her.”
