Kate’s Suits, Separates & Dresses Part II: Pick Your Favorite

As we start to wrap up our year-end ‘Best of’ voting we have the companion post to our ‘Favorite Tour Dress’ poll.

Because we didn’t want that previous post on dresses to have too many choices there are two looks from the tour being included with this poll, they felt like a better fit here. Unfortunately, by minimizing the previous post this one feels beyond overwhelming, I apologize in advance for that. A reminder, the top choices from the previous dress post and this post will have something of a fashion face-off as we attempt to ascertain the most popular apparel look, not including accessories.

I am surprised how many people love the sailor dress...that is really not my taste at all. I've bought a few clothes inspired by Kate's looks, but the one item that she wore that I HAD to have was that blue Zara dress!

This was really hard, because pretty much all of these are on my TOP list of anything Kate has ever worn!

1. Alexander McQueen sailor dress … just my style and looked timeless on her! 2. Reiss Peacock dress … sheer beauty, a true princess dress! 3. Black Issa wrap … practical as can be, yet gorgeous. 4. Whistles sweater and pleated skirt … who doesn’t like this?! 5. White Temperley … I wouldn’t wear it, but it looked so grand on her, and it suited the event SO perfectly that it had to make my list ;)

The Shola and blue Zara were close ;)

I voted for the dress she wore viewing her wedding dress with the Queen because it is just so ladylike. But I also loved the dress she wore to the tennis match. It just was so young and flirty. Perfect choices for both occasions.

I really wasn't WOWED by any of them. In desperation, I voted for the Mulberry Skirt and the unnamed turtleneck. I suppose the McQueen sailor dress was a close second, but I didn't vote for that because 1) it is costumey, and 2) the hem sagged in the back, a typical problem with a sweater dress.
