Princess Kate, among many things, is a style icon and is a frequent source for inspiration when it comes to putting together a sleek and sophisticated outfit. The royal has sported countless of chic dresses over the years and those looking to recreate her look don’t necessarily have to splash out on designer pieces.
High street retailer Roman is known for its offering of elegant dresses but there’s one number in particular that has the ‘Kate Middleton‘ look. The Roman Contrast Ric Rac Midi Dress has been hailed as as having a luxury look at an excellent price’ and ideal for the hot weather.

. We imagine Kate would favour the monochrome colourway, however, she does wear pops of colour on occasion, so the pink and red offering is also a lovely choice. The dress comes in sizes 10 to 20 and falls to calf length.
With summer holiday season coming up and many shoppers having special events in the diary such as weddings to attend, this dress now under £40 is an excellent contender. Shoppers might also want to check out the Boden up to 60% off sale, reports the Express.
The Isobel Broderie Mix Maxi Dress has been praised for looking ‘classy’ and ‘perfect for summer weddings and parties’. Usually £120, it has been reduced to £84.

Speaking of the Roman dress, customers have left rave reviews. One person said: “Just up my street, colourful with a bit of something difference.” And a second wrote: “Love the colours on this dress and the style looks so summery.”
However, shoppers with a shorter stature may struggle if they want the dress to fall to the right length. There are no options to choose petite sizing. At Next, this Black Strappy Shirred Jersey Maxi Dress has a similar look to the Roman dress, but is stocked in regular or petite.
Another customer at Roman has described the Contrast Ric Rac Midi Dress as being ‘gorgeous’ and just what they wanted from a ‘strappy sun dress’. Get it here for £38 using the discount code DREAM applied at checkout.
