She was known for her fun, romantic, whimsical designs that was a clear reflection of her earlier work.
Her fame grew in 1971 when one of her gowns was chosen by Princess Anne for her birthday portrait. Even after her business closed in the 80's she was a favourite among royalty and would often design for Princess Diana.
She also collaborated with Ossie Clark and designed gowns for Norman Hartnell.
Here are a few Gina Fratini items for sale:

wow i like the third one. it looks so breathy.
I too enjoy the third one. Although I'm a burly, macho homo, I can appreciate seeing a beautiful white baby-doll esque dress like the next guy.. um... gal...
Hot.
Besos
Gina Fratini has always been one of my favorite designers, and I have four or five of her long dresses and gowns. Just spectacular. I'm still kicking myself for not buying the gown in ombre brown chiffon with open loop sleeves that went all the way to the floor...
