A striking and rare evening gown by Graham Wren, created for the prestigious London fashion house Nettie Vogues — the very label that produced the now-iconic emerald-green taffeta gown worn by Princess Diana in her official engagement portraits in 1981.

In vivid scarlet, this gown captures the same sense of romance and drama that defined Wren’s celebrated work. The fitted bodice is layered in sheer polka-dot net, softly ruched for texture, and designed to sweep off the shoulders in a feminine silhouette. A nipped-in waist flows into a voluminous, multi-layered skirt of fine net that moves with lightness and presence.Details:

• Off-the-shoulder net overlay with soft ruching
• Scarlet polka-dot net layered over a full skirt for maximum movement
• Original Graham Wren for Nettie Vogues, London label
• Side fastening (zip or hook/eye – specify)
• Fully lined for comfort and shape retention

Condition: Excellent vintage condition. Colour remains vibrant, net and lining intact.

Why it matters:

Graham Wren’s name is indelibly linked with royal style history through his design for Princess Diana’s engagement portrait gown — an association that makes any surviving Wren eveningwear both collectible and culturally significant. This red net creation offers the same craftsmanship, drama, and timeless glamour, making it ideal for gala wear or as a centrepiece in a vintage couture archive.
