Princess Diana wore it on state visits, at royal banquets, and most memorably to a gala dinner at the White House in 1985 when she took to the dance floor with Hollywood star John Travolta.

The Victor Edelstein gown will go under the hammer at a vintage fashion auction in London in March, along with nine of Diana's other lavish evening dresses.

The dresses, all in the signature 1980s look - padded shoulders, puffed sleeves, crushed velvet - are snapshots of the princess's glamorous, jet-setting life.

One Catherine Walker gown in burgundy velvet with a plunging back was paired with the Spencer tiara on a visit to Canberra.

A long-sleeved gown in sea-green sequins, by the same designer, was worn to a grand Vienna theatre and a black, beaded velvet gown, also by Walker, was worn in 1997 for a Vanity Fair photo shoot by Mario Testino.

But the most celebrated item was the Edelstein gown with off-the-shoulder straps, which Diana wore when she and Prince Charles visited the White House.

The princess paired it with a stunning sapphire and pearl choker for a state dinner given by President Ronald Reagan, where, after dinner, she and Travolta twirled on the White House dance floor to tunes from the actor's hit movie Saturday Night Fever.

Travolta said afterward: "She turned around and she did that look that she did so, so beautifully and I asked if she would care to dance and she said she'd love to."

The gown, which Diana wore on at least four other occasions, is expected to sell for up to STG300,000 ($A448,564).

The other dresses, valued from STG30,000 ($A44,856) to STG120,000 ($A179,425), include a pale pink A-line gown and bolero set, both richly embroidered in crystals and sequins; a one-shouldered cream and floral-embroidered number and a white chiffon cocktail dress with a draped skirt.

Diana decided to sell dozens of her dresses at a New York charity auction at the suggestion of her son, Prince William, in 1997 - three months before she died in a Paris car crash.

Florida-based socialite Maureen Dunkel bought about a dozen of the dresses - including the 10 to be sold next month - and put them up for auction in Canada in 2011 but the prices were set too high and many dresses didn't sell.
