Call the Midwife actress Helen George was enjoying the sunny shores of Dorset at the weekend with her two-year-old daughter Wren Ivy and partner Jack Ashton during a very special weekend staycation. And when we saw the picturesque snaps the mum-of-one posted of her dreamy trip, our eyes went straight to her perfect summer dress. The vertical stripes, faltering silhouette and square neckline had us immediately thinking of Meghan Markle – it’s a style that the Duchess of Sussex absolutely adores for summer.

The family of three stayed at Moonfleet Manor – a luxury family hotel overlooking Chesil Beach on the Jurassic Coast in West Dorset. It’s a great choice for families with small children as it has a complimentary crèche and a huge indoor play area.
