Even Kate Can't Resist the One Dress That Has Invaded the High Street This Year

This morning the Duchess of Cambridge visited the Evelina Chilrden’s Hospital, as she became a patron with the Duke of Cambridge. For her visit, Kate wore the dress trend that has swept the high street this year — a polka dot dress. Her green sleeved spotty midi has pretty pearl button details on the bodice and a bow tie at the neck is by her go-to high street brand LK Bennett. At the time of typing the £325 dress is still in stock, but there are also lots of other amazing spotty dresses on the high street. In particular, we love the similar style dress at Other Stories in black which is £69. Keep scrolling to see Kate's dress, and shop our favourite similar versions.
