The engagement suit, February 1981
The cobalt-blue Cojana skirt suit and bow-necked blouse Lady Diana Spencer wore beside Prince Charles at Buckingham Palace on 24 February 1981, the day their engagement was announced. It came off the rack at Harrods, and its blue echoed her sapphire engagement ring. A ready-to-wear suit for the most photographed day of her young life set the tone for how relatable her clothes would feel.
