Readers of Anne of Green Gables will know that Anne's "bosom friend" is the raven-haired, beautifully dressed Diana Barry.
The Duchess of Cambridge is one such reader, and, while in Charlottetown, she seemed to have been conjuring another "kindred spirit" named Diana: her husband's mother.
In 1983 the newlywed Princess Diana wore a sailor-inspired drop-waist light blue dress with white accents to Province House. I was lucky enough to snap this Polaroid of her:
And here is a full-length image, not taken by me:
Princess Kate (as my daughter calls her) wore the mirror image to Province House: a cream drop-waist sailor dress with navy trim:

Princess Catherine's dress is specatcular, IMO. And I assumed you would post today (of all days). After all, the Royals are in your home environment.
Does anyone out there know where I could purchase a similiar dress? Thank you!!
Perhaps a similar dress will be in the making? J Peterman often offers a vintage silhouette, though sometimes more costume-y.
