Clothes, shopping and fashion are some of the
things that humans cannot live without. A large amount of money is spent on
buying the latest trends and boy, do we spend! The graceful gowns, the stylish
dress, and the trendy denims all lead to lighter pockets. Manish Malhotra,
Rocky S, Gucci, Gabbana and the who’s who create some of the most alluring
garments that we have no other choice but to bag! Yet the prices of these
apparels pale against some of designers who have created extraordinary
creations and of course a price tag to match. We have compiled a list of the
most expensive garments ever made, and most of which have used a girl’s best
friend: Diamonds.

| Debbie Wingham's The Abaya |
British designer Debbie Wingham created The
Abaya, which would have sounded like any other creation if not for the fact
that the price tag flaunted is a cool £11.7 million. The dress is a loose over-garment, a
robe like dress, worn mainly in the Middle East. It is a detailed work, but the
main appeal of the creation lies at the center of the dress in which the
world’s rarest and most expensive diamonds dazzle. It is said that one in every
hundred million diamonds is a natural red color which on average are found
every 50 years, but are too small to grab attention, so getting a cluster of
them is quite an achievement.

Besides using red diamonds, the dress is
crafted using fifty 2 carat white and black diamonds, which are all set in
platinum. The dress is hand-stitched in 14 carat white gold thread, all of
which has made this one pricey dress.

This British designer seems to fancy diamonds a lot. Wingham’s creation for
the Ukraine Fashion Show was encrusted with fifty 2 carat black diamonds and
the dress amounts to a staggering £3.5 million.

The work on the bustier is handmade (which is six months worth of work)
and boasts a center piece of five carats of black diamonds, securing a position
on every girl’s wish list.

| Faisol Abdullah's Nightingale of KL |
Another designer by the name of Faisol
Abdullah created a Nightingale of KL, which is a vibrant red gown with a
splendid 750 pieces of diamonds and Swarovski crystals and that is not all, the
added 70 carat tear drop diamond surely adds a spark to the dress.
 |
| Marilyn Monroe |
Let’s conclude with a bit of history. The gorgeous
Marilyn Monroe delivered a sultry ‘Happy Birthday’ to President John F. Kennedy
wearing a sheer and sheath flesh-colored jewel-encrusted dress. Rumor has it
that the gown was so tight that Monroe was sewn into the gown.

These are just a few examples there are
many more designers who have created some extravagant clothing using the ever-loving
diamonds taking luxury to whole different levels.
