In 2016, the Duchess of Cambridge (Kate Middleton) visited Keech Hospice in Luton. She wore L.K. Bennett’s Lasa Poppy Print Dress in “snorkel blue”.
This isn’t the first time Kate wore the poppy print dress. It first made its debut in 2014, during the Royal Visit to New Zealand and Australia! Kate wore the dress during a tour of a Royal Australian Air Force Base:
The blue and white floral Lasa dress was (and still is) very popular amongst fans.
Where to buy Kate’s dress:
The dress was already low in stock before Kate wore it, due to its popularity. (A few different celebrities wore the Lasa dress before Kate did. Scroll down to view details). The only place it can be purchased now is eBay.
