When Kate Middleton walks down the aisle on April 29th, the dress she wears is sure to turn heads. But it was another dress she wore that made headlines recently.

At a charity fashion show in 2002 at St. Andrew's University, where she and Prince William first met, Kate took to the catwalk in a knitted see-through dress. The garment, designed by fellow student Charlotte Todd, was auctioned off in London last March for $125,890.

Perhaps it wasn't the dress, but the story behind it that made the bidder so determined to own it.

Todd had initially intended the barely-there slip to be worn as a skirt, but Kate decided to wear it as a dress that revealed her fabulous physique. Prince William, who reportedly paid $317 for a front row seat at the show, fell in love.

The two started dating shortly thereafter. "I'd like to call myself a royal matchmaker," Todd told the Associated Press.

Kate Middleton's 2002 see-through dress to go under the hammer

Kate Middleton's see-through dress that she wore as part of a university fashion show in 2002 is set to go under the hammer next month.

Her catwalk debut reportedly marked the first time her husband-to-be Prince William first saw the attractive brunette, reports Contactmusic.

Middleton wore the Charlotte Todd knitted slip at a St. Andrews University charity fashion show.

Todd, who now works in an aquarium, has kept the outfit ever since it was returned to her.

The dress will be sold at a Kerry Taylor Auctions sale in March (2011).

"It's definitely a showstopping dress. I'd like to think I played my part in history and in fashion history," Todd said.
