Sarah Ferguson channeled Holly Willoughby’s chic style by stepping out in the same LK Bennett tea dress Holly has previously worn on This Morning. The Duchess of York wore LK Bennett’s Mathilde Navy and Cream Polka Dot Silk Tea Dress while making an appearance at the Royal Windsor Flower Show, pairing the stylish ensemble with some simple black ballet flats.
LK Bennett’s polka dot pick has also been worn by Amanda Holden and ITV host Lorraine Kelly, proving it has the celebrity as well as royal seal of approval. The British label are known for their high quality pieces and while they aren’t the cheapest, they will stand the test of time.
This Mathilde Navy and Cream Polka Dot Silk Tea Dress is an ideal pick for a summer celebration such as a garden party or it would look lovely worn to a wedding, especially if you are the mother of the bride or groom. Featuring bejewelled buttons, a rounded cream collar and a flattering nipped waist, the brand describe it as ‘1930s with a fun Seventies’ twist.
The dress is stocked in UK sizes six to 16 and has been compared to a £1,750 Alessandra Rich designer dress. Polka dot prints are a classic choice that will never go out of style and the midi length will work whether you are taller or have a petite frame.
If the dress is a little too formal for what you are looking for, Marks and Spencer stock a similar style by Finery London that could be worn as an everyday dress. The £79 Polka Dot Button Through Midi Waisted Dress has recieved glowing reviews from shoppers saying that it looks ‘elegant’, however the belt included could be better.
This £45 Navy Polka Dot Ruched Sleeve Midi Dress from Roman Originals has an even more casual look to it, with short sleeves and a floaty skirt. It could also be dressed up with strappy sandals and dainty jewellery.
Elsewhere at LK Bennett, the brand are running a sale with up to 50% off some of their designs. Saving shoppers more than £100, these Wiley Navy Recycled Crepe Slim-Cut Trousers were £179 and have been slashed to £69.
