On the 10th of September 2019, the Duchess of Cambridge (Kate Middleton) debuted a gorgeous light blue floral print dress to the opening of her new nature garden in Woking. It was the ‘Aurora’ style by Emilia Wickstead.
About the dress:
The show-stopping Aurora dress features delicate pink roses printed on a light blue seersucker fabric. The dress’s midi-length skirt and long cuffed sleeves create an elegant silhouette. It also has partially concealed button fastenings down the front and a collar that can be open or closed.
The seersucker fabric makes this dress lightweight and breathable, making it the ideal choice for summer soirees and holidays abroad.
The floral print is named ‘Rosewood’, which is a signature design for Wickstead and features on other items in her collection.

About Emilia Wickstead:

Then, she moved to New York to work for some notable fashion houses. In 2011, she showed her first collection at London Fashion Week.
