Princess Kate loves a polka dot dress. I'd go as far to say I've seen her in the print more frequently than florals. The 43-year-old royal tends to be spotted in designer Alessandra Rich pieces, or premium high street label LK Bennett, but if you want to get her look for less, Marks & Spencer releases some beautiful styles every season.

  • M&S has dropped its sell-out polka dot midi dress in the sale for just £14
  • The polka dot midi is reminiscent of styles worn by the Princess of Wales, who is frequently seen wearing the print
  • It comes in chocolate brown or white, so you can wear it every season

One of their most wanted pieces last year was a polka dot midi dress I think Kate would love and it's now in the January sale. The sleeveless style comes in both white and chocolate brown. It has a fitted bodice falling to a relaxed skirt and it's so flattering - and now incredibly affordable.

The elegant piece features a drop waist, classic round neckline and neat button fastening at the back. It's available in UK sizes 6-24 and three different lengths, but you'll have to be quick as it's selling fast. It retails for just £14 in the sale, or $93.99 if you're shopping in the US.

It comes in chic white or a chocolate brown shade that has a more retro feel and is perfect if you prefer to wear darker colours in the autumn/winter season. 

The dress has some glowing customer reviews, with one writing: "Absolutely beautiful dress, perfect fit. Size 8 is true to size."

While another said: "A beautiful dress that feels lovely on. I’m between a 14 and 16, and the 16 feels very comfy whilst the 14 is snug. I am delighted with the dress. Well done M&S!"

And another added: "Bought for my daughter. Her Pretty Woman dress and it looks fabulous on her. Excellent quality!"

I love how M&S has styled the dress with a clutch and kitten heels for an elegant outfit that could be worn everywhere from brunch to the office. You could add a pair of stilettos for a more formal event or dress it down with a leather jacket and ballet flats.

It definitely has a Kate Middleton vibe, as the white polka dot Alessandra Rich dress she wore to Royal Ascot in 2022 has quickly become one of her most iconic looks.

The wife of Prince William also wore white polka dot dresses to the opening game of Wimbledon 2017 and while pregnant with Prince George back in 2013. She likes more colourful pieces too, stepping out in blue polka dots for D Day in 2019 and twice at Wimbledon in 2022.
