Large piece of the fabric used to make the skirt for the dress of one of Princess Diana's bridesmaids, specifically that of either India Hicks, the thirteen-year-old goddaughter of Prince Charles, or Sarah-Jane Gaselee, the eleven-year-old daughter of Nick Gaselee, who was training the prince as a jump jockey. The beautiful piece consists of a wide ivory silk panel cinched at the top, with thin lace trim along the bottom edge. In fine condition. Accompanied by two pages removed from the 2006 book A Dress for Diana by David and Elizabeth Emanuel, one showing a rough design sketch for the Sarah-Jane/India dress and the other showing this type of material. Princess Diana had five bridesmaids: the oldest, Lady Sarah Armstrong-Jones, the daughter of Princess Margaret, was head bridesmaid and had her own dress design; the next two, India and Sarah Jane, had matching dresses; and the youngest pair, Catherine Cameron and Clementine Hambro, likewise matched. A unique and gorgeous piece.
