Kate was photographed the artist who wore his “lady who lunches” ensemble in which he had designed for himself in honour of the first time meeting the Duchess.
The website that sells the dress, Pinstripe & Pearls states that the item which “channels the big 1960’s trend of the season” is currently not available and gives no inclination of whether it will be restocked.
