Diana's Favorite Fashions










Like every woman, Diana had her favorites. Although she was know as fashion icon, she also had a few favorites that she wore on several occasions.
The white and blue coatdress by Catherine Walker was made for a 1985 visit to Italy.
Apparently Diana loved it so much she wore it 10 times. That tops the number of times she wore any outfit in public. Sometimes with the sailor hat made by Graham Smith some times with red accessories, but it was a servicable dress and suited many occasions.
The other outfit was the Hachi beaded gown. Made for the 1983 royal tour of Australia,Diana wore it on several occasions most notably to two James Bond Film premiers, six years apart! Also Diana had worn it the previous night to a private party at Balmoral. The dress also made the 1985 trip to America. It was also one of the 79 dresses sold at the infamous Christie's Auction.
