8 Princess Diana Dresses With Stories Just as Significant as That of the "Revenge Dress"

As the first authentic dress on display in the exhibit, this traditional Klondike-era outfit was designed by Linda Maddock and worn on an official tour of Canada in 1983. The light-pink look came replete with bows, delicate lace tiers, gathered silk, and a matching fascinator.

It was originally worn by actress Francesca Annis, who played Lillie Langtry in the 1978 TV miniseries "Lillie." Like Camilla Parker Bowles, who had a well-documented affair with Prince Charles while he was married to Diana, Lillie's great-grandmother was the mistress of Charles's great-great grandfather King Edward VII.

Diana found the connection to be humorous and wore the dress as a subtle nod to the situation.
