If you’ve been paying attention to fashion lately, you’ll know one thing for sure – polka dots are firmly back on the agenda. The timeless print, long adored by royals from Princess Diana to the Princess of Wales, is having a major resurgence this season.
And if there’s one look that still lingers in the minds of royal fashion watchers, it’s Princess Catherine’s navy polka dot dress by Alessandra Rich from Wimbledon in 2022. We’ve found the perfect alternative from Roman, and it comes in at under £50.
Cut with a sweetheart neckline and soft short sleeves, it has that same romantic, slightly retro feel that made Catherine’s original so popular. The fit skims the body, while the front split detail adds a modern edge. Dress it up with wedges, a structured top-handle bag and a fascinator for weddings or race days, or keep it relaxed with trainers and a denim jacket for an easy daytime look.
Available in sizes 10 to 20 and a range of colours. The dress comes in a range of colourways and prints, including a striking red version. Shoppers have fallen in “love” with the piece, with one happy customer sharing “Love navy and white spot.” While another said, “Fits great and has a nice swing to the material, true to size.”
So if you’ve been eyeing up that Wimbledon look but can’t quite justify the designer price tag, consider this your sign. Because great style doesn’t have to come with a four-figure price tag.
