The Princess of Wales has the dreamiest midi dress collection. She's stepped out in countless beautiful floral dresses over the years, from statement designer pieces with exaggerated puff sleeves to more low-key high street numbers. Kate's wardrobe lives in my mind rent-free, and I've found a floral midi dress in Marks & Spencer's new-in section that I could definitely imagine her wearing.

There are few items more effortless and versatile than a floral midi dress. A mainstay on the runway, they're often seen at the likes of Erdem and Zimmermann, but if you're looking for high street options, M&S consistently drops gorgeous floral pieces - some that sell out in a matter of hours.

Their new floral dress is adorned in a delicate floral print. It has a timeless figure-skimming cut with a flattering tie at the waist to create a silhouette. It also has demure short flowing angel sleeves, very Kate, and keyhole fastening at the back.

It retails for just £48 and is available in UK sizes 6-24, in petite, regular and tall.

Princess Kate has always been a fan of a floral dress and the 44-year-old royal has proved she's not adverse to a high street buy, previously stepping out in & Other Stories and Zara, as well as more high-end pieces from Prada and Faithfull the Brand.

I could see her wearing the M&S dress styled with her trusty Castañer espadrille wedges, but I also think it pairs perfectly with delicate strappy heeled sandals.

I have a few midi dresses from M&S in the same price range and the fits are always so flattering. They feel great quality for the price, which explains why they fly off the shelves so quickly.

If you love the style but your budget is higher, Reformation's Camila Dress is stunning. Adorned with a delicate floral print, it's fitted at the bodice and waist with sweet flowing sleeves and ruffled hem.
