Story & heritage

The Diana dress is one of Norma Kamali’s most recognisable signatures. Vogue wrote that it was designed in the 1970s and has barely changed since, while the brand still labels the gown a classic style to own.

That longevity is the point: the one-shoulder drape and body-skimming shape keep the gown looking current without needing reinvention.

Materials & craft

The official page calls out a one-shoulder neckline, shirred sides, an asymmetrical hem, and a built-in stretch bodysuit that keeps the drape in place.

This version is cut in Poly Lycra with 95% polyester and 5% spandex. The page also notes 4-way stretch and easy-care handling.

How to choose & style

Keep the rest of the look quiet so the drape reads cleanly. Bare shoulders, a simple heel, and minimal jewellery let the dress do the work.
