The bridesmaids Diana didn’t like the dress

Almost all of the attention on that day is focused on the young bride-to-be Queen one day. Her puffy dress with an incredibly long train, designed by David and Elizabeth Emmanuel, caught everyone’s attention. The bridesmaid dresses, of which Diana wore eight, featured many frills and embellishments. As it turned out, not all of them liked it.

“This was a time in ’80s fashion. It was all sexy and exaggerated, so I understand that these dresses fit the era. But when you’re a tomboy like me… when you’re asked to be a bridesmaid, you feel proud and happy, but it annoys you a little when they want to.” You need to wear dresses with frills ”- India Hicks admitted in an interview with the Insider portal.
