Duchess Kate donned a shift dress she usually wears when she’s out and about. The dress, from Erdem’s Resort 2013 collection, showed off her baby bump despite the print design.

Her ensemble is further enhanced by delicate Annoushka pearl drops dangling from Kiki McDonough diamond hoop earrings, the iconic Royal Collection Garrards Jewellers 12k Ceylon sapphire and diamond engagement ring, and a striking Asprey London 167 button pendant in 18k white gold adorned with diamond & amethyst. She toted a Stuart Weitzman for Russell & Bromley navy suede Muse clutch.

Her Erdem “Sophia” dress looks so artsy. The floral prints are pretty and chic, especially for the new season. Its silhouette is also very sleek and clean. As you can see, it has a fitted bodice with a naturally seamed waist and a straight-cut skirt.

A squared scoop neckline, half sleeves, and a hidden back zipper complete the details of this dress. It’s the kind that’s perfect to wear from day till night. Do you agree?
