The White Chiffon Gown outfit started arriving at collectors' houses in early summer of 2001.
It was the gown many collectors had guessed it would be, a Gina Fratini gown Diana wore to the ballet in Argentina that appeared on the cover of the Andrew Morton book that caused Diana so much trouble in the Royal Family. The gown has a beaded neckline and a floaty, asymmetrical hemline. It is accessorised with white pumps, a white satin clutch purse the pearl drop earrings from the Navy Suit and the Divorce Dress. Very lovely, very feminine, very soft, very elegant. The fancy neckline makes up for the shortage of goodies in the box.
Diana wore it on other occasions with the aquamarine drop earrings FM put on the Princess of Elegance porcelain.
*Note: If you are offered this outfit on a dressed doll as "NRFB," please note that this ensemble set was NEVER sold by the Franklin Mint dressed on a doll. It was only sold in the accessory box as shown above. The items may be pristine and "new" but they are being misrepresented, and likely the price is reflecting a claim of rarity or "unused" condition. (Redressing a doll somewhat constitutes use.)
