According to Elizabeth Emanuel, as soon as Diana descended from her carriage at St Paul's Cathedral, the dress presented “quite a lot of creasing.”
The designer confessed that when she and her husband David were designing the gown, which featured a seven-metre train, they anticipated it would "crease a bit”.
Speaking on ITV's Invitation to the Royal Wedding, she said: "I was horrified, really, because it was quite a lot of creasing. It was a lot more than we thought.”
She added: "I remember whispering to David: ‘Oh my God, it's creased.' I thought, 'We've got to straighten out that dress'."
