World's Most Expensive Dress goes for $17.7million

The saying diamonds are a girl's best friendhas been taken to a whole
new level as theworld's most expensive dress has been unveiled.


The dazzling dress is encrusted with 2000 stones in total including
the star of the show:the world's rarest and most expensive red
diamond.


The Abaya created by British designer DebbieWingham may be attracting
masses of attention because of its £11.7m price tag.


Debbie first made her mark on the fashion world when she unveiled a
£3.5m black dressencrusted with 50 two carat black diamonds that
weighed a hefty 29lbs (13kg) last year.


Her latest creation may be a simple abaya design (a loose
over-garment, essentially a robe-like dress, worn by some women in
parts of the Islamic world including in North Africa and the Arabian
Peninsul) but the extravagant design and detailing makes it themost
expensive item to ever go on sale.


At the centre of the dress dazzles the world's rarest and most
expensive diamond.


One in every hundred million diamonds is a natural red colour and they
are found on average every 50 years but generally too small to speak
of, so this is something quite special.


The individual diamond has a value of £4.89m.
