A Dress For Diana by designers David Emanuel and Elizabeth Emanuel is a book of sheer joy and delight for people like myself who have not only followed Diana for most of our lives but have been enchanted by that dress. This book has been long in production and when it finally arrived in book shops it did not disappoint.

Unlike the official Diana tribute book which many people have agreed with me is uncomfortable and too cumbersome to hold, A Dress For Diana is a pefect size. Running to 208 pages, it's crammed full of wonderful photographs and information, much of which I've never seen before.

The book begins with an overview of the life of the Emanuels, offering the reader an insight into their work and they designs they've produced for other famous ladies, such as Rolling Stones star Mick Jagger's ex-wife Bianca.

The introduction also includes a wonderful picture of a famous photograph of Lady Diana which appeared in Vogue magazine at the time of her wedding.

Primarily aware only of Diana's wedding dress, I admit I enjoyed looking at the designs worn by other brides who were dressed by the Emanuels. Not having been born then, it's fascinating to see the fashion trends of the late 1970s and early 80s.
