Kate famously donned a beautiful blue Reiss button-up dress for her very first public address at the opening of ‘The Treehouse’, a hospice service for Suffolk and Essex back in 2012 – so the brand certainly has the royal seal of approval.
While Kate styled her vintage-inspired lace white gown with rich Bordeaux-hued Gianvito Rossi heels and a matching Mulberry clutch bag in the autumn, there is a perfect way to style this dress for the summer.
