Kate Middleton attended to her first official public duty at the Hope House in London yesterday, and along with it, made her first public outing with a now growing baby bump.
We’ve all guessed and speculated for months, but now we can finally see the bump, plain as day. Well, what little we can see of it anyway. It’s tiny, but it’s really there!

Aah, who are we kidding. Kate Middleton is already four-and-a-half months pregnant, but that baby isn’t really making much of a bump. The Duchess is even wearing a dress tied at the waist AND standing sideways in these pictures, but her baby bump is still barely there!
Clearly, there’s no need for Kate Middleton to make an effort to hide her pregnancy yet. But we’re glad she’s still exerting the same effort to look her royally fabulous self for this first outing since taking nearly two months to rest.
Kate Middleton bundled up her itty-bitty baby bump in this long-sleeved wrap dress from Max Mara:

The wrap dress is another great dress style for maternity wear. The belted wraparound front can be let out and adjusted the further you go along in your pregnancy. Wrap dresses are also typically constructed out of stretchy jersey fabric.
Kate Middleton opted for a conservative tweed-like print for her wrap dress. We’ve gathered some more wrap dresses with prints that we think Kate Middleton would also approve of below. We started off with Diane von Furstenberg because dress lovers know nobody makes a wrap dress quite like DVF! We’ve also included more wrap dresses from other dress labels.
