The most iconic item -- the strapless dark blue velvet gown worn at a 1985 dinner thrown by US president Ronald Reagan in honour of the Prince and Princess of Wales -- raised 240,000 pounds (281,000 euros, $363.000).
It was immortalised in the photographs of Diana dancing with Travolta to the song "You Should be Dancing" from his film "Saturday Night Fever".
The dress was bought "by a British gentleman who said he wanted to buy it as a surprise to cheer up his wife", explained auctioneer Kerry Taylor.
The garments, created by some of Diana's favourite designers including Zandra Rhodes, Catherine Walker, Bruce Oldfield and Victor Edelstein, share an extraordinary history.
Some were worn by the princess during official trips to Austria, Australia, Brazil, India, South Korea and the United States, said the auction house.
They were then acquired by Florida businesswoman Maureen Rorech at a 1997 sale to raise money for humanitarian charities supported by the princess, two months before she was killed in a Paris car crash.
Rorech put 14 of the dresses up for sale at a Canada auction in 2011 after declaring bankruptcy, but only four sold as the "reserve prices were ridiculously high", said a spokesman for Kerry Taylor.
All of the remaining items sold on Tuesday at prices ranging from 24,000 to 240,000 pounds. Two were bought by an "important" British museum, revealed Taylor.
"It's important for the generations to come," she added. "Diana was the people's princess, so the people should be able to see these dresses. This is our heritage, our history."

| James bound 007 |
LOS ANGELES: Movie studio MGM said on Tuesday it expects to release the next James Bond movie within three years, and hopes to announce soon a new director after Sam Mendes decided to move on.
In a conference call with investors, MGM Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Gary Barber said the studio was developing the screenplay for the next, 24th movie in the 50-year-old franchise about the British secret agent.
“We are very excited about the franchise, we look forward to announcing a director soon,” Barber said.
“We are currently developing the screenplay and working with our partners. We look forward to developing the script soon and signing a director. We are hoping within the next three years it will be released,” Barber added.
He gave no details on casting but Daniel Craig has already signed on for two more films in the lead role as the suave 007 agent.
The 2012 Bond film “Skyfall,” starring Craig, made $1.1 billion at the global box office and impressed critics. But Britain’s Mendes said earlier this month that he wanted to focus on his theater projects for the foreseeable future.
Barber said Mendes “did an amazing job on ‘Skyfall’. We are very thankful for the work that he did.”
Privately-held MGM jointly produced “Skyfall” with Sony Corp’s movie studio arm.
MGM said on Monday that “Skyfall” and “The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey” had helped bring a three-fold increase in its 2012 net income.

RAWALPINDI, March 19: On Tuesday night, a surgeon from Gujar Khan died at Holy Family Hospital, becoming the city’s second death this year from swine flu (Influenza H1N1).
The second case of this disease has prompted the hospital and the health department to take precautionary measures, though nurses and other hospital staff claim they have not been provided with necessary protection equipment.
Dr. Matloob Ahmed, a 45-year-old surgeon, came to Holy Family from Gujar Khan on March 13, unconscious and unable to provide a complete medical history. His family, however, described symptoms that sounded like swine flu, and doctors sent samples to the National Institute of Health, which confirmed the disease two days later.
Dr. Javed Hayat, Holy Family’s In-charge for infectious diseases, told reporters that after being on a ventilator for the past week, the patient ‘died at 8pm on Tuesday, from acute respiratory distress syndrome.’
Dr. Ahmed’s family had been given precautionary medicines, and according to Dr. Zafar Iqbal Gondal, Executive District Health Officer, a team from the district health department went to Gujar Khan to check on Dr. Ahmed’s relatives and neighbors. “None of them seemed to have contracted swine flu,” Dr. Gondal said, but the department would “launch precautionary measures” in Gujar Khan.
The second appearance of swine flu in Rawalpindi, after a 45-year-old woman died from the disease on January 24, has brought the hospital’s preparedness into question.
Two nurses and a ward boy who had been taking care of Dr. Ahmed later showed flu-like symptoms, and were transferred to an isolation ward two days ago.
According to Dr Hayat, the NIH has declared that they do not have H1N1, and “their condition is good.” He claimed that doctors, nurses and other paramedical staff “have been given preventive medicines.”
Hospital employees, however, say that protection has been given mostly to doctors. A nurse, Fozia Buksh, told Dawn that nurses and ward boys had not been issued gloves, masks, or other personal protection equipment.
“The attendants who come with patients provide us gloves, if we ask for them,” she said. A ward boy, Aslam Chaudhry, said that Holy Family administration had told him to purchase his own mask and gloves from outside.
Dr. Gondal claimed that the local health department would receive protective equipment from Lahore “within a few days”, after which it would be provided to staff in three public hospitals and the tehsil headquarters hospital in Rawalpindi district
