The former husband and wife team who designed Princess Diana’s wedding dress have settled their dispute over the sale of the drawings for the dress.
David Emmanuel had filed a lawsuit in the UK courts against his ex-wife Elizabeth Emanuel, claiming that she had infringed his copyright by reproducing drawings of the designs they had collaborated on.
The drawings, including those for Diana’s wedding dress, was put up for auction without his consent, he said.
The couple announced on Friday that they had resolved the case “amicably”. Terms of the settlement were not released.
Diana’s dress, created for her wedding to the Prince of Wales in 1981, was an iconic creation that will always be associated with the late princess. It was a time when big was in, and Diana walked down the aisle in St. Paul’s Cathedral draped in yards of lace with a 25-foot train flowing behind her.
