The Princess of Wales has the dreamiest midi dress collection. She's stepped out in countless beautiful floral dresses over the years, from statement designer pieces with exaggerated puff sleeves to more low-key high street numbers. Kate's wardrobe lives in my mind rent-free, and I've found a floral tea dress in Marks & Spencer's new-in section that I could definitely imagine her wearing.
- M&S just dropped a floral tea dress similar to styles worn by Princess Kate
- The midi dress is part of the new spring/summer collection and it's just £30 or $58.99 if you're in the US
- If your budget is higher, I think she'd also love the Naira dress from Reformation
There are few items more effortless and versatile than a floral midi dress. A mainstay on the runway, they're often seen at the likes of Erdem and Zimmermann, but if you're looking for high street options, M&S consistently drops gorgeous floral pieces - some that sell out in a matter of hours.
Their new tea dress is adorned in a delicate floral print. It has a timeless figure-skimming cut with flattering ruched waist detail, short sleeves, and a round neckline with a subtle twisted knot detail. It retails for just £30 and is available in UK sizes 6-24.
Princess Kate has always been a fan of a floral dress and the 44-year-old royal has proved she's not adverse to a high street buy, previously stepping out in & Other Stories and Zara, as well as more high-end pieces from Prada and Faithfull the Brand.

I have a few midi dresses from M&S in the same price range and the fits are always so flattering. They feel great quality for the price, which explains why they fly off the shelves so quickly. This one also comes in polka dots, which are equally Kate-coded if you're not ready to move into florals just yet.
If you love the style but your budget is higher, Refomation's Naira Dress is stunning for spring and summer. Adorned with a delicate rose print, it's fitted at the bodice and waist with ruching at the bust and a relaxed skirt.
Or if you prefer something more vibrant, the Kate Puff Sleeve Belted Dress from Boden is made from lightweight pure cotton and is cut with feminine puffed sleeves and a built-in belt. It even had pockets.
