And it’s something Kate Middleton would wear

When the Duchess of Cambridge stepped out in a red Alexander McQueen dress in Berlin last week, no one was expecting it. Why? Because thanks to its off-the-shoulder design, it was a bit of a departure from Kate’s usual style, but that aside, the chiffon dress was really quite special.

Sadly, it’s now sold out. But, when scrolling through the new in section on the M&S website this morning, we noticed this Bardot maxi dress.

With its cinched waist and full skirt, it’s as pretty as Kate’s dress, and has a friendly price tag too.

If you’ve still got a few weddings to go to this summer, we suggest pairing it with some scrappy sandals and statement earrings, or if you’re wearing it around the office, then it’ll look lovely with a pair of delicate wedges.

The dress is part of the new season M&S Collection and has just dropped, so luckily it’s still available in all sizes, but we don’t see it lasting too long, so it might be worth snapping it up if you’re keen.

And in case you were wondering, one user has already left a review for the dress online, giving it a full 5/5 for quality, value for money, fit and style, saying they would definitely recommend it.

Glowing review indeed.

Penny grew up in France and studied languages and law at the Sorbonne Nouvelle University in Paris before moving to the UK for her MA in multimedia journalism at Bournemouth University. She moved to the UK permanently and has never looked back (though she does go back regularly to stock up on cheese and wine).

Although she's always loved fashion - she used to create scrapbooks of her favourite trends and looks, including Sienna Miller and Kate Moss' boho phase - her first job was at MoneySavingExpert.com, sourcing the best deals for everything from restaurants to designer sales.

However she quit after two years to follow her true passion, fashion journalism, and after many years of internships and freelance stints at magazines including Red, Cosmopolitan, Stylist and Good Housekeeping, landed her dream job as the Digital Fashion Editor at Marie Claire UK.

Her favourite part of the job is discovering new brands and meeting designers, and travelling the world to attend events and fashion shows. Seeing her first Chanel runway IRL at Paris Fashion Week was a true pinch-me moment.
