Yellow Embroidered Coat and Silk Dress with Rachel Trevor Morgan Hat

This is a truly great, sunny outfit for Her Majesty, comprised of a flower print on ivory silk dress, a pale lemon crepe coat with large embroidered blooms to one side that recall the print of the dress and buttons covered in the same silk as the dress (a lovely touch), plus a Rachel Trevor Morgan hat (much in the style of this other creation of hers) trimmed with a spray of silk flowers.

It's a look that dates back quite some time, its first appearance was way back on 20 June 2007, when the Queen attended a tea party for Eton school boys at the Guards Polo Club in Windsor. She accessorised the outfit with the Australian Wattle brooch:

We saw the look repeated on 20 November 2007, when Her Majesty was in Kampala, Uganda, for the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting. The Australian Wattle brooch was selected again. Below, the Queen with Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni:

Then we didn't see this look for quite some time, until the Queen wore the dress by itself on 2 June 2010, to an investiture ceremony at Buckingham Palace, during which she knighted, among other, actor Patrick Stewart:

Only a few days later, on 5 June 2010, the look was selected again for the Investec Derby Festival at Epsom, paired with the Flame Lily brooch:

Later that month, on 22 June 2010, the Queen again chose this sunny yellow ensamble for a Buckingham Palace garden party. She wore the City of London Lily brooch:

After only a few days, on 27 June 2010, the hat alone was recycled for the welcome ceremony in Halifax, Nova Scotia, at the start of a tour of Canada followed by a visit to New York. Admittedly, not much is visible under the raincoat the Queen wore, although in both pictures below you can just get a tiny peek of her cuffs, which belong to a yellow silk Angela Kelly jacket with beaded embroidery that was made specifically for the 2010 Canadian tour (read more about this look here):

The original outfit that goes with the hat, paired once more with the Australian Wattle brooch, was repeated again for another Buckingham Palace garden party on 26 June 2014:
