Kate Middleton is synonymous with the polka dot print and is often seen wearing the classic pattern. This midi dress that is perfect for channelling the royal's style
The final weekend for Wimbledon provided us with plenty of summer style inspiration. Kate Middleton appeared at the tennis tournament on Saturday (July 12), looking stunning as ever in pale yellow midi dress, and it prompted us to look back on some of her previous looks for the sports event.
While most of us don't have a royal budget to splurge on the Princess of Wales' exact ensembles, there's still a way to capture her style without emptying our wallets. Over at Next, a Roman polka-dot midi dress is perfect for replicating her look, particularly one outfit from Wimbledon in 2022.
The best part? It comes with a purse-friendly price tag of £44. The Navy Polka Dot Ruched Sleeve Midi Dress has received glowing reviews on the Roman website, where it's now sold out, boasting an impressive 4.9 out of 5-star rating. It comes in three colourways, including Kate's preferred navy shade, with sizes ranging from 10 to 20.
Featuring the Princess' favourite polka dot print, Roman's woven midi dress is sure to become a staple in wardrobes during the warmer months, reports OK!. Designed with a feminine V-neckline, this Kate-inspired piece features short, ruched sleeves for an elegant and timeless look.
This number also features charming button details, which add a casual vibe without taking away from its sophistication and chic wearability. The thick waistband is crafted to create flattering pleats, making it a truly stunning piece.
The fit-and-flare silhouette hugs the waist for that enviable figure-skimming appearance, whilst the voluminous skirt introduces a dose of Princess Kate's emblematic elegant flair. Shoppers can style this effortlessly chic midi-length piece with a pair of heeled wedges. For a more laid-back look, add trainers and make it a classic Wimbledon style.
Roman fans love the dress as one delighted buyer gushed: "This is my absolute favourite dress of all time. It fits beautifully, is very flattering and is extremely comfortable."
Another enthusiast praises effusively: " Lovely style, length and material. Ideal for any occasion."
A shopper bought it for a special event and shared: "I love this dress. I bought it for a spring wedding. It's a perfect fit. I bought my usual size 14. I've added a modesty panel as it was a wee bit low at the front for me."
But one removed a star from their review, explaining: "Love the fit of the dress and the material but the sleeves were incredibly tight. I waited for ages for a bigger size to become available but it never did (and I'm not sure if the sleeves would have fit much better anyway) so I made some alterations to the sleeves myself."
Another contented client celebrates the garment's sophisticated allure: "Elegant, sophisticated, and feminine. The fabric is light and breezy. I love it."
