- Diana’s Pink Blouse
- Black Sheep Coat
- Evening Gown Auction
David and Elizabeth Emanuel, who later designed Diana’s wedding gown for her marriage to King Charles, the Prince of Wales, crafted the top.
A garment Princess Diana wore for her engagement portrait in 1981 is currently up for auction. The pink crepe blouse, featuring a ruffled collar and oversized front folds, is estimated to be worth between $80,000 (£63,490) and $100,000 (£79,360) in the auction by Julien’s Auctions.
2019, the garment was featured in the Diana: Her Fashion Story exhibition at Kensington Palace. Royal photographer Lord Snowdon captured the creation by David and Elizabeth Emanuel, who also designed Diana’s wedding gown.
According to the National Portrait Gallery, the photograph’s publication in Vogue magazine in February 1942 coincided with the official announcement of Charles and Diana’s engagement.

Unearthed by designer Joanna Osborne in an attic in March, the sweater features a whimsical black sheep among white ones. After Osborne and Sally Muir founded Warm and Wonderful knitwear in 1979, it was one of their main designs. The item’s January price of $604,800 broke Diana’s Victor Edelstein aubergine evening gown’s record.
