Kate Middleton's See-Through Dress Sells for £100,000

 

Kate Middleton’s see-through dress that she wore as part of a university fashion show in 2002 is could now be worth £100,000.

Middleton wore the Charlotte Todd knitted slip at a St. Andrews University charity fashion show.

Her catwalk debut reportedly marked the first time her husband-to-be Prince William first saw the attractive brunette, reports Contact-music.

Miss Middleton wore the silk outfit, designed by fashion student Charlotte Todd, during a show at St Andrews University in 2002.

Prince William was photographed watching his future bride, whose lacy underwear was clearly visible under the slinky garment.

After the show the dress was returned to Miss Todd, who packed it away in her mother's wardrobe, where it has remained ever since.

The graduate, who has not pursued a career in fashion design and now works in an aquarium, spoke of her pride in playing such a key role in royal history.

She has already turned down an offer of £1,000 for the dress and has vowed never to sell it - but experts estimate it could fetch a staggering £100,000 in the future.

Todd, who now works in an aquarium, has kept the outfit ever since it was returned to her.

The dress now soled at a Kerry Taylor Auctions sale.

“It’s definitely a showstopping dress. I’d like to think I played my part in history and in fashion history,” Todd said.

TOKYO - A powerful tsunami spawned by the largest earthquake in Japan's recorded history slammed the eastern coast Friday, sweeping away boats, cars, homes and people as widespread fires burned out of control. Authorities said at least 32 people were killed.

The magnitude 8.9 offshore quake was followed by at least 19 aftershocks, most of them of more than magnitude 6.0. Dozens of cities and villages along a 1,300-mile (2,100-kilometer) stretch of coastline were shaken by violent tremors that reached as far away as Tokyo, hundreds of miles (kilometers) from the epicenter.

Japan earthquake 11 March 2011

A utility company in northeastern Japan reported a fire in a turbine building of nuclear power plant. A tsunami warning was issued for the entire Pacific, including areas as far away as South America, the entire U.S. West Coast, Canada and Alaska.

Japan's Fire and Disaster Management Agency said at least 32 people were killed.

"The earthquake has caused major damage in broad areas in northern Japan," Prime Minister Naoto Kan said at a news conference.

Even for a country used to earthquakes, this one was of horrific proportions. It unleashed a 23-foot (7-meter) tsunami that swept boats, cars, buildings and tons of debris miles inland.
