An exceptionally rare opportunity to acquire a defining piece from the wardrobe of Kate Middleton! This Alessandra Rich navy polka dot dress was first worn in 2018 for royal family portraits. Distinguished not only by this debut, but by its subsequent re-wear worn during her visit to Bletchley Park's special D-Day exhibit to mark the 75th anniversary of the D-Day landings in 2019.
Featuring fluid crepe de chine silk, the dress is emblematic of Alessandra Rich's signature design: precise tailoring softened by movement. It features a sculpted bodice with drop waist, gently structured shoulders, and a full-length button front for a poised silhouette, while the contrast collar and cuffs lend a note of crisp, almost archival elegance. The softly pleated skirt falls with effortless drape.
Examples in this condition (worn once, carefully preserved), are seldom offered.
