同一晚，查爾斯在電視上坦承外遇
這件洋裝之所以被叫做「復仇洋裝」，和它登場的時間點有關。1994 年 6 月 29 日，黛安娜穿著它出席倫敦蛇形藝廊（Serpentine Gallery）的晚宴；就在同一個晚上，當時的查爾斯王子在電視訪問中坦承自己曾經外遇。
EN The dress got its name because of when it appeared. On June 29, 1994, Diana wore it to a dinner at the Serpentine Gallery in London. On the same night, Prince Charles, as he was then, admitted in a TV interview that he had been unfaithful.

瑞士資訊網（swissinfo）引述報導指出，當時的造型師安娜·哈維（Anna Harvey）回憶，黛安娜那天就是想要看起來「美得驚人」。這件洋裝後來在 1997 年 6 月的慈善拍賣中售出，所得捐給癌症和愛滋病相關公益團體；幾週後，黛安娜在 1997 年 8 月 31 日因車禍過世，年僅 36 歲。
EN Swissinfo reported that Anna Harvey, a stylist at the time, remembered that Diana wanted to look “stunning” that day. The dress was later sold at a charity auction in June 1997, and the money went to cancer and AIDS charities. A few weeks later, on August 31, 1997, Diana died in a car crash at the age of 36.

蘇富比的專家莫甘·哈利米（Morgane Halimi）表示，這件洋裝不只是一件衣服，更是時尚史和流行文化中的重要時刻。30 多年過去，「復仇洋裝」這個詞到現在仍常被用來形容分手後的華麗登場。這件洋裝最後會以多少錢成交，又會落到誰的手上，12 月的拍賣會將揭曉答案。對喜歡時尚和王室歷史的人來說，這也是少數能親眼看到這件傳奇洋裝的機會。
