Kate Middleton's Fashion Show Dress Up For Auction

They call it the dress that may have started it all. By all they mean the Royal Wedding of Kate Middleton and Prince William. The pair were friends but the romance reportedly began after the prince saw Kate Middleton wear a transparent knitted dress over a black bra and panties at a 2002 charity fashion show at the University of St. Andrews. The dress, created by Charlotte Todd (who did not pursue a career in fashion and now works at an aquarium), is expected to sell for more than 8,000 pounds ($12,800) at Kerry Taylor Auctions in London on March 17. The see-through piece was originally meant to be worn as a skirt but Kate wore it as a short dress.
