Princess Kate fans find 'flattering' £40 dress similar to royal's £550 designer midi
Roman Original's floral midi dress looks just like a style worn by the Princess of Wales - and it's selling out fast after shoppers dubbed it 'perfect'
Kate Middleton's fashion sense is unquestionably impeccable, and we've found a way to emulate her style for less. Online clothing brand Roman Originals offers a range of stunning dresses at remarkably reasonable prices, including one floral midi dress that bears a striking resemblance to a style worn by the Princess of Wales.
The Red Ditsy Floral Print Fit and Flare Dress, priced at a budget-friendly £40, features a relaxed shirt collar and is fitted at the waist before flaring out below the hips. With its flattering V-neckline and central split, this vibrant piece is ideal for adding a splash of colour to your summer wardrobe.
Kate's similar dress from Beulah London, named the Calla Red Rose Shirt Dress, costs £550. It has a midi length and three-quarter length sleeves.The Royal was spotted wearing the designer item in 2020 during a visit to communities in East London affected by Coronavirus.
The Roman Originals alternative will save you £510 compared to Kate's luxury midi, but you'll need to act fast as shoppers have been quick to purchase it. The £40 dress is available in UK sizes ranging from 10 to 20, reports the Mirror.
If you choose to invest in this affordable floral dress, there are several ways to style it. To achieve the royal look, pair it with nude court heels. Alternatively, it would pair perfectly with espadrille wedges or flat sandals.
The Princess of Wales elegantly paired her Beulah London outfit with Ralph Lauren's Celia heels, complementing the look with an Anya Hindmarch clutch and Missoma gold hoop earrings.
Online shoppers have been effusive in their praise for Roman's Red Ditsy Floral Print Fit and Flare Dress, with one customer sharing: "Love the dress. Very flattering and fits well. First dress that I have bought from roman but would buy more in the future."
