Kate’s Maternity Style while Shopping (No Photos)

We have several updates to share, beginning with word on what Kate wore on a few recent shopping expeditions.

The first outing was a trip to a store Kate has visited before, Youll’s Antiques, located in Hungerford.

I don’t have access to the photos (click here to see them all at PopSugar), but can share a few things Kate wore.

The Duchess is in a new trench coat, at least one we haven’t previously identified. The coat looks very much like a Burberry garment, similar to the label’s Double Cotton, Cotton Sateen or Long Cotton Gabardine models, but there are still elements that aren’t identical. One of the more distinguishing characteristics is the tab collar; the other is the depth of the hem, it looks like it is at least 4 to 5 inches.

Kate appears to be wearing a knit trouser, probably a maternity style. Her shoes look very much like the French Sole (London Sole in the USA) Henrietta ballet flats.

It is tough to see in the photos available, but they appear to be darker than the brown pair Kate has frequently worn.
UPDATED July 3, 2013: We have confirmed the shoes are London Sole’s Henrietta, Kate is said to be wearing the quilted black style.

The Duchess is carrying a familiar bag, her Tod’s D-style in grey. Kate has her bag for years, this is the current version sold by Tod’s, in shadow grey.

There is another series of photos being released in an Australian magazine, Woman’s Day.(Image is lower left that we’re referencing.)

The pictures show Kate shopping, but again, I don’t have access to the images, only the cover shown above. However, having looked at the pictures I think Kate is wearing this frock, Seraphine’s Wrap Dress with Tie in the navy spot colorway.

UPDATED 6.27.2013: We have received verification this is the dress Kate is wearing in the photos. Apparently the Duchess has as many as a dozen Seraphine dresses, so it’s likely we could see her in more from the brand.

The dress is described this way:

This gorgeous mock wrap maternity dress is an essential for your maternity wardrobe. In a pretty navy polka dot print with a chic side bow detail, this dress is perfect for any occasion. The above the bump side tie highlights your empire line and flatters your bust and growing bump.

In this series of photos Kate also appears to be wearing the same cardigan wore in early June. I do not have a link directly to this story, I am sure it is online yet.

An update on the ASOS Maternity Dress that Kate is seen in above: it seems the dress has been restocked, and it is now offered in two lengths. The green is not offered (at least not on the ASOS US site), but the ecru color remains available.

Officially called the ‘Belted Dress with Scoop Neck,’ the frock is no longer on sale, but still a bargain, selling at $42.43 with free shipping. It is part of the ASOS Maternity Collection.

Also still available and on sale, the yellow Marella Silk Coat by Emilia Wickstead worn to the Queen’s garden party in June.

Originally priced at $1826, the piece is now discounted by 50% at Matches fashion, to $912. In fact, all of the Wickstead summer pieces at Matches are on sale, the discount looks to be 50% for everything.
