The ship-christening ceremony Kate Middleton attended yesterday was her last official outing before she goes on maternity leave. It also marked the end of our Kate Middleton maternity watch — a sad day since observing Kate stylishly and regally dress her growing baby bump was fun, to say the least.

To further mark the last month of the Duchess of Cambridge’s pregnancy and to celebrate the coming of the royal baby, let’s take a look back at Kate Middleton’s best maternity dresses.

We wish the Duchess a restful maternity leave and a safe delivery for her and the baby!

1. The green Mulberry fall 2011 dress she wore before the big announcement

Kate also debuted a new do with bangs in this dress.

8. The yellow Emilia Wickstead dress she appropriately wore to a garden party

Kate’s Emilia Wickstead “Marella” coat worn as a dress was so perfect for a garden party; we’re sure it sparked a get-Kate’s-garden-party-look craze.
