Kate Middleton owns this cream knit fit and flare dress from See by Chloé.
The Princess of Wales debuted the pretty dress during the 2016 tour of Canada, at a children’s garden party. One year later, Kate chose the dress for a second children’s garden party, this time at Buckingham Palace.
Will we see the Princess wear the cream dress again? Possibly. It’s true that she prefers a longer silhouette these days, but I wouldn’t rule out seeing her in this piece at a relaxed summer event in the future.
About the See by Chloé dress:
This dress exudes a contemporary elegance with its intricate cut-out detailing and the sophisticated play on transparency. The distinctive diamond pattern on the bodice offers an element of visual interest.
The high-neck design combined with the long sleeves suggests a modest yet fashion-forward approach. The pleated skirt adds volume, offering a gentle flare that complements the fitted bodice.
A delicate scalloped edge finishes the cuffs, adding a subtle charm to the dress.
The cream dress is made from a cotton mix fabric. In addition to the high ruffled neckline, the garment has flared cuffs and and button fastenings on the back.
Where to buy Kate’s cream dress:
The dress is from See by Chloé’s Fall 2016 collection. As you’d expect, the company no longer stock the design, unfortunately.
At the time of writing (October 2023), there is one dress on eBay.co.uk in size UK8 for £70.
There’s also one dress in size large listed on Poshmark for $750.
Note: neither dresses come with a slip—you’d need to provide your own.

Kate Middleton & See by Chloé:
This cream dress is the only item of See by Chloé clothing that we’ve seen the Princess wear to date. However, she owns a pair of See by Chloé combat boots that she wears on repeat. (Pictured below!)
About See by Chloé:
See by Chloé is the younger sibling of the iconic French luxury fashion house Chloé, founded in 1952 by Gaby Aghion. Launched as a diffusion line, See by Chloé offers a more youthful and accessible take on the brand’s romantic, bohemian aesthetic. Think relaxed silhouettes, playful prints, and a carefree spirit, but still keeping that Parisian chic that Chloé is known for. It’s an ideal choice for the style-savvy woman looking for high-quality, on-trend pieces without the couture price tag.
