In a fitting tribute to her host country of the last eight days, Kate chose a deep red Catherine Walker coatdress for the afternoon’s activities in Calgary and departure from the airport.
The couple waving goodbye. 
The Duchess wore the “Marianne” style in lightweight wool with self-covered buttons, three-quarter sleeves and shawl lapels. The color sent a wonderful message to Canadians, a lovely gesture at the end of a long haul for everyone involved. The princess seaming along with the fit and flare style created a substantial amount of volume. Despite the fact it is said to be very lightweight, the effect was of a heavier garment.
I posted this Catherine Walker dress on Twitter before I had a good look at Kate’s dress. Clearly there are significant differences between the two garments.

That glittering diamond Maple Leaf loaned to her by the Queen.
She paired it with the same earrings worn on Canada Day, the studs from Kiki McDonough’s Grace collection. Once again we saw the LK Bennett Sledge2 pumps and coordinating clutch.
Now it is on to Los Angeles. If there is a change of wardrobe we’ll be back with another post. Otherwise, we’ll see you tomorrow.

Stunning Catherine Dress in red. The most beautiful of the entire trip.

Thanks for this photo blog. It was great to get details on Kate's wardrobe. One error, though: They did not fly commercial at any time during this trip. The Canadian air force tansported them from London to Ottawa, all over Canada, to Los Angeles, then waited with the plane there until they departed LA for England.

I loved everything she wore. I am from Calgary and got to see Kate and William at the Stampede parade in their Western attire. She looked so beautiful and even dressed down like that looked amazing. I also have just seen what the Toronto Sun published and was very upset. I wrote to the Sun condeming that photo there was no need at all for that low approach. Kate is pure class.

I don't usually read fashion stuff but have been for the Royal tour. I'd check out several sites and then condense the info to give my mom, who's blind in one eye and doesn't see well out of the other, the scoop on what Kate wore. I like your site.
No one seems to mention that Kate wore female designers probably 90 percent of the time on her North American trip. She wore Erdem from Canada, but I think the rest of the clothes designers were women. A nice soft way to support feminists without shouting in your face. Way to go Kate.

This outfit, particularly the coat is pretty much the same one as designed by Catheirne Walker that Lady Gabriella Windsor wore to the Royal Wedding on 29th April, however hers was light blue/green
