The knitted lace outfit that Kate modelled for a charity fashion show while
|
|
the pair were students cost just £30 to make.
|
|
|
|
But with interest in [Kate Middleton][1] at such a height ahead of the royal
|
|
wedding, the black and gold number sparked a buying frenzy.
|
|
|
|
The winning bid, which was marked up by 20 percent to £78,000, eventually came
|
|
from an unnamed man who would only reveal that he was acting on behalf of
|
|
someone called 'Nick from Jersey'.
|
|
|
|
The future Queen's outfit fetched far more than two designer dresses worn by
|
|
Princess Diana that were sold at the same auction.
|
|
|
|
The dress was being sold by its designer Charlotte Todd who created it for her
|
|
degree course at the University of the West of England.

Charlotte, 31, of Bristol, said: "I was keeping hold of the dress. No-one has
|
|
worn it since Kate.
|
|
|
|
"It was squashed in my parents' wardrobe underneath loads of junk.
|
|
|
|
"But now it's quite a responsibility - people are really interested in the
|
|
dress. I'd rather be rid of it.
|
|
|
|
"It was just pure luck that Kate, out of all those girls, wore it for a few
|
|
seconds.
|
|
|
|
"I don't even see it as a dress, really. To me it's just a piece of fabric."
