Middleton wore the piece as a student at the University of St. Andrews.

Charlotte Todd, the designer behind the knitted black-and-gold silk dress with turquoise bands, had stashed the look in the back of her mother’s closet for almost a decade before bringing it back out for auction, as she had been getting a lot of attention after the couple’s engagement announcement. “The moment is right, at the moment, I think, to sell it,” Todd said.
