That New Prince George Photo and Those Pink McQueen Separates That Actually Aren’t: It Was A Dress Kate Wore!

The problem with the dress isn't the McQueen cut which was a signature look for him and gives the outfit a bit of an edge.The problem is that someone had the front hemline lengthened. You'll notice it hits Kae mid-to low knee (that non-flattering length) and it is shown on the model at top of knee which makes the longer length in the back look like a design element rather than a mistake which it does in the version the Princess wears. This is a beautiful dress - too bad the tampering with the hemline ruined the cut. However I share the skepticism that this is actually the dress version. The separate top looks far more form fitting than the dress. This may be because the separate skirt can be worn lower on the waistline allowing the top to be cut tighter. The cut of Kates top certainly looks more like the separate version.

I'm so interested in the update on the AMcQ peplum dress, and to discover that the drooping back hem was intentional. It makes more sense to me in the poppy version, where the model shows it dipping low enough at the back even for my own dim understanding to see it's deliberate and not a wardrobe malfunction.

The pink on the model looks to have less of a back dip, though it may be the paler colour playing tricks, and it's possible Kate may have had the contrast in lengths toned down. Either way, it seems an odd feature for a designer to make a hem look badly cut, but that's fashion for you.

I still love the colour and overall I think the outfit still looks great on Kate. The fabric sounds fabulous, it must be pretty cosy and would work well in the role of dress-coat. Kate can enjoy ease of movement while effectively wearing a dress-coat.

It's fun to see the little fellah shooting up already. Thanks for a lovely post.

I don't know...there's something about the waist detail on the dress version that looks bulkier somehow than what Kate is wearing. The picture of the top looks smoother, like it does on Kate. The color is certainly right. If it is the dress, then it looks to have been fitted much more to her than to the model, and obviously Kate's skirt is more subtle.

Once again, amazing work! JUST HOW are you able to determine these things - there is so little difference! I didn't like this outfit at the time but find that since the tour it has really grown on me. It was smart while not being too dressy, and sensible and appropriate for what was probably a warm-ish day. I always liked the colour and think it really compliments Kate. Looking forward to seeing the new photos! I can't believe the Prince of Cute is one already.

Every time I see a photo of Prince George, I see Kate's Dad, Michael Middleton. Google an image of him and see what I mean. I like Kate's parents and wonder why there are sometimes negative comments about them. They are self made and successful due to creating a savvy business. They seem like very good parents, discreet in everything they do and very loving and supportive of their three children. Carol Middleton looks slim and stylish in her wardrobe and is obviously a role model for Kate.
