Kate Middleton Just Wore A Dress From One Of Instagram’s Favourite Fashion Brands

Faithfull The Brand is responsible for dreamy dresses seen on every Insta cool girl (and now the Duchess of Cambridge).

Now that she’s resumed her royal duties, Kate Middleton can no longer rest on the laurels of waist-up dressing. Starting with a walk around the Fakenham Garden Centre on 19 June, she then visited a children’s hospice in East Anglia, The Nook, to plant flowers and speak to families.

As a famously diplomatic dresser, she erred towards the casual side of smart-casual to suit her outdoor surroundings, choosing a blossom-printed lilac tea dress with ever-so-slightly puffed shoulders.

Not only did this visit mark the dress’s inaugural outing, but it came from a label that Kate hasn’t actually worn before, Faithfull The Brand. It might mark a new direction in the Duchess's wardrobe, but it's a firm influencer-favourite. Fans call themselves #faithfullgirls - and its floral-print dresses have a celebrity following that includes Hailey Bieber, Katy Perry and Sofia Vergara.

The dress in question, called the Marie-Louise, is now sold-out but was £180. She accessorised with some of her high street favourites, including Russell & Bromley’s wedge-heel espadrilles and Accessorize’s hoop earrings.

Faithfull The Brand’s clothes are hand-made in Bali, where founders Sarah-Jane Abrahams and Helle Them-Enger met on their travels, and certainly marks an easy-breezy departure from the Duchess’s wardrobe of power tailoring and heeled pumps. With high summer just around the corner, expect a run on its bikinis, sarong-style skirts and floppy-brimmed bucket hats for picnic season.
