The silk-jacquard gown was strikingly similar to a Jan Van Velden piece worn by Diana during her visit to Alice Springs School on her 1983 tour of Australia with Prince Charles.
Dutch designer Jan Vanvelden was a favourite of Diana, who paired her own silk tea-dress with a white belt and matching cartwheel-style hat and pair of dainty pearl earrings.
