Susan Maxwell Skinner - Dianabilia - Diana Dolls and Diana Memorabilia

Dianabilia

Porcelain dolls model some of Diana's most famous gowns; from her romantic Catherine Walker tartan dancing dress (front) to the ivory wedding crinoline (rear) designed by the Emanuels. A replica of the Spencer wedding tiara is in the foreground.

Susan's vintage dolls include bride Diana and flower girls for the 1981 royal wedding.

Susan's collection of "Dianabilia" includes

china, books, scarves, dolls and a replica of the famous Spencer tiara, worn by the Princess Bride at the Wedding of the Century, 1981. Especially appealing are Diana porcelain portrait dolls, dressed in Diana's most famous gowns. The author occasionally exhibits the collection, upon request, in conjunction with her talks.

Teenage Diana fans enjoy the exhibit in Stockton, CA. Susan's Dianabilia exhibit features rare mementos of the 1981 "Wedding of the century."

Diana's babies also merited souvenir ware. A porcelain William sports the Edwardian sailor kit the young prince wore as a page for Prince Andrew and Fergie's wedding. The baby doll (left) replicates the lace christening robes worn at every royal baptism since the birth of Queen Victoria's babies.

This porcelain miniature wears a replica of a red satin and lace ensemble Diana wore for the ballet "Carmen" in Norway.
