Kate Middleton is known for her ability to blend designer fashion with high street finds, and one of her go-to dresses is from popular brand Karen Millen.The royal has been seen donning Karen Millen’s Tailored Structured Crepe Forever Pleat Belted Midi Dress on multiple occasions. However, the most notable sighting was when she sported the yellow version during a visit to Surrey County Hospital’s maternity unit in October 2022.
Typically priced at £219, the tailored midi dress is currently reduced to £131.40 in the 40% off Karen Millen sale. It can also be found for 20% less at Debenhams. While Kate’s yellow dress is out of stock, shoppers can still choose from a number of different colours including navy, raspberry and ivory. In line with Kate’s classic style, the pleated skirt and high neck collar offer a modest look, while the wide belt should accentuate your waistline.
Dubbed the ‘Forever Dress’ by the brand, it’s designed to transcend trends and become a timeless staple in your wardrobe. It’s a charming choice for formal events like weddings, races, or even work.
The dress is available in seven different colours and comes in a regular length. For those 5’3″ and under, there’s also the Petite Tailored Structured Crepe Forever Pleat Midi Dress.
For some, the Forever Dress might be too tailored but for a comparable style, the Roman Lace Pleated Midi Dress, priced at £80, is available in shades of pink, navy, cobalt, green, and turquoise. A customer remarked about the frock, ‘at last a lovely dress with sleeves which so many older women want to cover up their upper arms.’
Speaking of the Forever Dress, one customer said: “Nice, comfy and smart. The little stretch material was appreciated!”
