The range of Byronic details used on this dress distinguishes it as the work of Gina Fratini. Unafraid of romantic themes, she trimmed cuffs with rosebuds and edged frills with lace on her chiffon, lawn and silk gauze dresses. Historical references, such as off-the-shoulder "Winterhalter" necklines and pin-tucked bodices usually seen on Victorian nightgowns, added to that charm. For this reason her wedding dresses were particularly popular. Fratini's romanticism came to the fore in 1971 when Norman Parkinson delivered samples of her work to Princess Anne in preparation for her twenty-first-birthday portrait. She chose a classic Frantini gown with a lace-trimmed ruff that co-ordinated with her pretty, tawny pink make-up. After her own business closed, Fratini designed lingerie with Ossie Clark as well as collections for Norman Hartnell and for private clients, including the Princess of Wales.
