Fashion fans can copy Kate Middleton’s iconic polka dot style for less than £34 thanks to an exclusive discount code on a “beautiful” midi dress perfect for summer events.
With Wimbledon fully underway and tennis enthusiasts across the globe glued to their screens watching the world’s finest players battle it out on the courts, those with a passion for style, probably have their eyes firmly fixed on what some of the celebrities in the stands are wearing.
Back in 2022, Kate Middleton turned heads in a stunning polka dot dress by Alessandra Rich, a London-based Italian designer. The elegant frock reportedly set her back a cool £1,335, which puts it well out of reach for most people hoping to recreate the look.
Thankfully, I’ve tracked down a dress at Roman that bears a striking resemblance to the designer piece worn by the Princess of Wales, but at a fraction of the cost. The Navy Polka Dot Fit and Flare Dress is priced at £38, but new customers who enter our exclusive discount code ‘AFRPLC25Q226’ at checkout can snap it up with a 25% reduction, bringing the price down to just £33.75.
Meanwhile, existing Roman customers can enjoy 10% off by using the promotional code ‘AURA’ at checkout, dropping the price to £40.50. To make the deal even more tempting, Roman is also throwing in free express delivery on this gorgeous piece.
The Navy Polka Dot Fit and Flare Dress is available in sizes ten to 20, all of which remain in stock online. It also comes in 10 other designs including: Blue Floral, Brown Polka Dot and Blue Mini Floral, amongst others, reports the Manchester Evening News.
Featuring an eye-catching polka dot design throughout, the chic navy and white dress is perfect for any smart warm-weather event. It nips in at the waist with a figure-flattering tie belt to accentuate the wearer’s silhouette while maintaining sophistication and style.
The fit-and-flare cut delivers a stunning appearance without hugging problem areas. It falls to a midi length, tailored to finish at the most slender part of the leg, the mid-calf, to achieve a streamlining effect.
Meanwhile, Marks and Spencer’s V-Neck Frill Sleeve Midi Tea Dress is priced at £30. With its universally flattering tea dress shape, the piece is a classic staple for any collection.
It’s designed in a comfortable regular fit, with short frilled sleeves and a graceful v-neckline. Underbust seams, along with a tie fastening at the rear, provide additional definition while the hemline finishes at an elegant midi length.
As an alternative, Next’s Ecru/Black Polka Dot Puff Sleeve Midi Dress retails for £39. This midi-length number features a flattering short puff sleeve and refined high-neck detail, crafted from a sleek fabric with a cinched waist and a button fastening at the back of the garment.
Returning to Roman, the Navy Polka Dot Fit and Flare Dress has accumulated nothing but rave reviews from customers. One delighted shopper remarked: “Going to a wedding so ideal for my purpose and apart from the fact I love anything with polka dots.
“I love my dress fits so well makes me feel special. I’m wearing it to a concert of Vivaldi and Mozart in June. Thank you Roman.”
“Lovely dress,” a third penned. “Nice material, flattering style and good fit. Suitable for any occasion.”
It’s worth bearing in mind, however, that the dress is only available in one length, which may pose an issue for those who usually opt for petite or tall-length styles. It is also crafted from polyester, meaning anyone who prefers natural fabrics such as cotton or silk may wish to give this one a miss.
That said, another satisfied shopper was full of praise for their latest Roman buy, writing: “This dress is beautiful. Very easy to wear for any occasion.”
A further five-star review reads: “Lovely material and feels good. Feels very summery.”
