Regamus Haute Couture

The Regamus label became a favourite of the Sloane Ranger set in the mid to late 1970’s and 1980’s. The label’s most famous customer was Lady Diana Spencer, later HRH the Princess of Wales. Diana’s first known purchase was an evening gown, bought for her debutante ball at Althorp in 1979. This gown was later donated to Madame Tussauds for Diana’s wax model but from 2017-19 it formed part of an exhibition Diana: Her Fashion Story at Kensington Palace. The Regamus dress was the oldest item of clothing in the exhibition.Diana and her mother are thought to have found this dress in the “French Room”, Harrods’
