You need to be active with people today, even if you thought you had time to yourself. It's one of those days when it's just much more difficult for you to fly solo -- and you've got willing copilots!

Bits of Diana's wedding dress for sale

The couple who designed Princess Diana's dress for her fairytale wedding in London in 1981 are selling 4-inch swatches of the material.

The pieces of cloth are being sold with A Dress for Diana, a coffee table book about the creation of the gown by David and Elizabeth Emanuel. The price is about $2,000 for each of the 1,000 pieces of cloth.

The Emanuels were recent art college graduates when Lady Diana Spencer commissioned them to design the dress for her marriage to Prince Charles. Their creation, designed and sewn under high security as photographers went through their trash and rented rooms across from their studio, had a 25-foot train.

The silk that did not make the cut into the dress was kept in a bank vault for years.

Elizabeth Emanuel said she and her husband are not exploiting public devotion for the princess -- although their book, which was originally supposed to come out on the 25th anniversary of the wedding is now tied to the 10th anniversary of Diana's death.

It's not a bit of her, Emanuel said. It's a bit of the day and the whole experience of that time.
