February 1988 Diana and Charles arrived in Thailand to a warm welcome in a pretty, multi-tiered flounced navy summer dress in a mushroom print pattern. It was set off by a wide brimmed, short crowned mesh navy hat and Diana's navy/white spectator shoes.
At Wimbledon, Diana arrived and left wearing a navy jacket over it, but watched the matches without it. On that occasion, the dress was accessorized with a navy leather belt and a heavy gold links chain necklace. (Was this the puffball skirt dress navy jacket?)
The replicas are from left by Betty Herr, Jane Mahlig, oursweetcreations.com and (bottom) nonaalaska (ebay seller) and dollfashionsbyalana.com.
My understanding is that most copies were made using custom printed fabric which is no longer available. Some have made the hat by remodeling an FM “Inspecting the Guard” navy suit hat. I have one of these replicas and it does the trick very well (it’s simply down to taking the hat apart, reducing the depth of the crown and reassembling without the white rosette.)
In order to achieve both looks, an outfit for the FM vinyl doll, I'd like to see it include:
1. Navy jacket
2. Skirt
3. Hat
4. Navy spectator shoes
5. Navy and white clutch
6. Heavy gold twist chain necklace
7. Pearl earrings
8. Sunglasses
