Red Silk Dress

This red silk dress by Jan Van Velden featured a white Puritan collar edged in a pointy zig zag that was picked up around in the red silk fabric at the dropped waist of the dress. At first glance, it may appear to be a suit, but it is in fact one of Diana’s favoured shirt-waist style dresses, fastened at front down to the waist with red buttons.

It was worn on tours of Canada and Oz/New Zealand in the early 1980s. Diana was in a phase of these big pointy collars, and they often featured on her maternity day dresses.

I haven’t found any replicas of it, but the hat was one included with a different outfit with the Danbury Mint Royal Wardrobe.

As an outfit for the FM vinyl doll, I'd like to see it include:

1. Dress

2. Hat

3. Red shoes

4. White hose

5. Red clutch bag

6. Gold watch

7. Earrings
