10 Fashion Tricks Princess Diana Used to Make Old Clothes Look New Again

10 Fashion Tricks Princess Diana Used to Make Old Clothes Look New Again
We may think of Kate Middleton as the queen of re-wearing items from her closet, but Princess Diana was recycling her clothing long before the Duchess of Cambridge ever did. Like Kate, Diana didn't grow up royal, so she was less accustomed to just buying new outfits on a whim. Sure, she did have an expansive closet once she became a princess, but she also brought back her favorite pieces throughout the years.
As InStyle noted, Diana had a unique way of re-wearing her clothing. She didn't necessarily just throw on the same old dress time and time again. Instead, she would often alter her outfits to wear them in new ways. Sometimes she would remove the extra fabric, tuck a blouse in, or add new accessories. This helped her style always feel fresh, even when she was just cycling through her same old closet.

    You might not like the 80's clothing styles, but I sure miss it. I loved the padded shoulders that made one's waist look smaller. I'm not talking foot-ball style, but padded enough to look elegant. As a matter of fact, there are still some blouses that I still have with shoulder pads that I still wear today. I've never been one to follow the 'style' as it changes more often than our seasons so I wear what I like and feel comfortable in wearing.

I mean a gown can cost over 1000£ and it's obvious that you are re-wearing the gown/ outfit, because it is expensiv, beautiful and substainable for the environment. But yeah, Diana had re- wore the dresses on a really beautiful way.

    It is ironic - 2000's styles are very dated in my opinion ,and 80's a little more modern/trend (such as Vladiyan royal wedding dress) . But the few 80's styles such as strapless I'm not fond of they don't seem to let go of - albeit it's presented less tastefully with each era it comes back into. They would have had it sitting very well in the 50's , with a shawl,for evening wear. The wedding dress trend of the 2000's was just there /bottom heavy ,and is old now. Not fitting the definition of classical - suited to a time ,place or occassion (during a ceremony where you don't want to stare at the chest, during the day) ,or modern - streamlined/functionalist (not comfortably functional for winter/colder weather , wouldn't be worn in cool evening in contrast to classic. Bottom extreme,bloomer girl reminiscent). It is interesting that said generation considers themselves experts on dated, modern and trendy isn't it?

I'm not at all advocating that an English or "British" accent (what is that, anyway?) be affected, but Americans would be so put off by pronunciation of Oregon as OrryGONE, Maryland as Mary-Land to rhyme with Disneyland or aluminium instead of aluminum.] It also bothers me when trends like polka dots are dismissed out of hand when in 2021- 2023 I've seen no fewer than THREE versions of the coffee/cream polka dot dress from the polo scene in Pretty Woman for sale.

    Additionally the royal family , especially in 20th century and now, don't like to wear things once and toss. They want to look like they are not spending taxpayer money, etc. foolishly. Many of the clothes on the children, for example, are hand me down between siblings and even from parent to child, etc. Actually aristocracy and old money generally have those values. It's new money that is gauche by flaunting, wasting and being flashy only having new and not reusing.

The new pants or jacket would color match the old suit perfectly! Almost all the pants were lined too. 90% of my office cloths came from that store. Very nice well made cloths for a reasonable price. Also all the cloths were sized the same. My husband bought me many outfits for presents and they all fit perfect.

Before Diana went to Japan she was also going to Canada and she and Prince Charles were invited to dinner at the High Commission and my Dad sat beside her. He said she was drop dead gorgeous in person, but had no idea if she was going to China or Japan. She told my Dad that she had a dress to match “the Chinese flag”. Dad gently corrected her that the leg of their trip after Canada was to Japan, and she laughed and said she was hopeless at geography.

    I am one of those who sewed for myself. Even when I had the money to buy as nice as I wanted, nothing on the rack appealed to me and it never fit right! When I took my first fitting class in sewing, our instructor said after this class, we would never buy off the rack again. She was right. Back in those days, I sewed almost all of my clothing. I picked fabric and colors that I loved and styles that showed off my nice figure with my long waist and usually sewed things with real waistlines. I loved wide belts! I never went out that I did not get compliments from people which was very nice. Frankly, I am now thicker through the middle, many pounds heavier, and in my seventies as well as my life style changed, but there is a big part of me that misses those beautiful clothes and the wonderful satisfaction of how well they fit and how good they looked. The rare times I go clothes shopping now, I am soooo disappointed at the choices. I'd rather re-wear the same things. I really do admire those who find styles and colors that look good on them and wear them well (and even often). No one must spend huge amounts of money on clothes to look good - one must, however, choose carefully.

    I have developed allergies to a lot of material - I can only wear cotton. I wish I could sew - but I really didn't like using a sewing machine in a family where my momma, little sister and Grandmother used an electric sewing machine and Nanny used a treadle machine back in the 1970s'. My folks even bought a pattern and fabric of my choice and I paid my little sister to make it! Momma made my wedding dress. I have found some cotton skirts with matching sweaters and I have about 8 blouses and some sweaters with multiple colors to coordinates. I have several pairs of jeans and some t-shirts. I have a small selection of shoes and sandals that work too. I pore over the internet for choices. Luckily I don't work anymore - I needed suits as a Sales Asst to a stock broker. I love Princess Diana's clothing - I used to think she was like a living Barbie!

    @@amypagekaviani5661 I am so sorry about the allergies. It is so difficult to find pure cotton clothing now. I sewed partly out of necessity and, in the early years of my marriage, repurposed a lot of things others gave me. I had a sheath dress made from a cafe curtain my MIL gave me - it looked better on me than the window. Much more recently, our garden club requested we all wear hats at a spring meeting but with flowers. I had no flowered hat but found a flat sheet at a thrift store that was beautiful and made a sun hat. It was funny because I received so many compliments on it. One member said she used to have sheets like that - I told her it might be one of her sheets! Though I like buying new fabric, I also enjoyed the challenge of making over something else into something entirely different. Well into my marriage, I was able to buy a Viking 6030 sewing machine - anyone who has had one will tell you that was top of the line. That was 1974 and it is still going strong! There have been literally thousands of miles of thread go through that machine through the years. We all have our interests and talents. It's good I can sew because I cannot sing a bit, play a musical instrument, and cannot paint or even draw. Some times it takes a while to find our special talent but we all have them if we give it a chance. Frankly, buying clothes and compiling a good wardrobe is a huge talent itself. I loved the dresses, etc., that Carol Burnett wore on her variety show at the opening - so beautiful and so many different styles.

    Outfits should be re-worn - especially outfits costing thousands of pounds a time. Although I did read that Diana did send her old clothes to charity shops, before cutting out the labels. I thought Diana's look in the early 80's was over the top. Her wedding dress was way too fussy (I preferred the toned down version in The Crown). Her style did improve in the 90's and her Catherine Walker clothes were lovely.

    Women's suits used to come with both a matching skirt and a pair of matching trousers, very much the way men's suits used to come with two pairs of pants. It made the suit more versatile, so one technically got more wearings out of it. Back in the day, a woman just starting out in professional life, and not yet having a full professional wardrobe, could get by with two such suits that coordinated in style and colors, so all the pieces could be mixed/matched, and 6-10 professional shirts/tops that worked with both suits. It was kind of the birth of the capsule wardrobe, and women were advised by "image consultants" not to add anything to the capsule that could not be worn with at least three items she already owned.

Kate has worn at least ONE of Diana's suits, redyed. ER II was reported in one biography as being a frugal fashionista by sending a dress with a bad stain on it back to the designer to have a fabric panel replaced. Since designers hold on to the specially dyed fabrics ordered for the royals and their bespoke clothing, this was easily done.
