Kate Middleton’s First Foray into Fashion Sells for $125k

Sometimes you have to show a little skin. This reminds boys of being naked, and then they think of sex. ~ Cher, Clueless

Sweet Kate Middleton, circa 2002.  It’s unclear if she was working this mantra for Prince William, who was sitting front row at the fashion show she was walking at St. Andrews where they were both attending.  Rumor has it she was dating someone else at the time, but this fiesty number caused the Prince to crane his neck and get a better look at the lovely.  Cher knows best!

A few days ago the student designer of this slip of a dress, Charlotte Todd, said she would never part with it – unless it was for an invitation to the wedding.  Turns out Cash is King as Todd put the dress up for auction where it sold for $125,871.

Todd, who has already experienced more success as a designer than most that try to pursue the profession, currently works at an aquarium.  She’ll no doubt enjoy her windfall, but I can’t help wondering why she didn’t wait until after the April 29th nuptials.  This piece is a unique bit of history to How I Met Your Princess.
