The auction price, which excludes a 20 percent buyers' premium, was originally expected to reach 8,000 pounds.
Some believe that the dress played a role in sparking the royal couple's relationship. They started dating shortly after the event.
It was initially intended to be worn as a skirt, but Middleton wore it as a short dress with black lingerie underneath.
It was designed by Charlotte Todd, who now works at an aquarium.
