Marks & Spencer just gave an update to Kate Middleton's iconic blue polka dots
When Kate Middleton and Prince William presented Prince George to the world in 2013, the outfit the Duchess of Cambridge chose to wear as she cradled her son on the steps of the Lindo Wing – a light blue polka dot dress by Jenny Packham – became instantly iconic. The dress was a bespoke garment, but the breezy print is a timeless classic, which is why we love the polka dot Copy Kate skirt, trousers and tops that have just been unveiled at Marks & Spencer, a retailer that Kate also loves.
