The most iconic wedding dress in history is making its Netflix debut. The highly anticipated fourth season of The Crown will tell the story of when Prince Charles met and married Princess Diana, and fans cannot wait to see the dress brought to life.
Actress Emma Corrin will step into the shoes of the iconic Diana in the new season, and Netflix has just shared the first look of the famous wedding dress.
The dress was created by award-winning costume designer Amy Roberts, in collaboration with one of the original dresses designers, David Emmanuel.
“Without access to the original patterns, Amy collaborated with David Emmanuel. He was enormously helpful, talking the design team through the detail of many of the original drawings to help them create this gown for Emma Corrin,” Netflix explained.
“Four months and five fittings later, with three people spending a collective 600 hours working, they had a dress. It’s made of 95 metres of fabric and 100 metres of lace, with a train that is approximately 30 metres long.
“The Nottingham based team who made the lace on the Emmanuel’s original dress also made the lace for this one. Sadly the man who worked on the real-life dress passed away, but it’s his son who worked on the one you’ll see in The Crown,” Netflix added.
Netflix’s The Crown will be released on the platform on November 15. Watch the trailer for the new season below.
