Middleton dress fetches $105,000
Including commission, the see-through mesh slip dress designed by Charlotte Todd sold for 78,000 pounds ($126,000). It had been expected to sell for 8,000-10,000 pounds. Todd, who was in the saleroom at Kerry Taylor Auctions in London, said she planned to put the proceeds of the sale towards buying a house with her husband. “I am totally speechless, and feel very emotional,” she said. “I really didn’t think it would make that amount. I am planning to put some of the money toward a deposit for a house, but perhaps I may use some to change my career.” Earlier, Todd had said: “If it is true that my design helped change the Prince’s interest in Kate from platonic to romantic as has been reported, then I am pleased to have played a part -- however minor.” The dress went to an anonymous buyer in the saleroom who was bidding on behalf of a collector in Jersey, Channel Islands.
