Be blooming beautiful in an Erdem dress like the Duchess

The Duchess of Cambridge joined the rest of the Royal Family as they gathered to see her new garden at the Chelsea Flower Show in London.

The duchess wore a beautiful floral dress from one of her go-to English designers Erdem.

This maxi quarter-sleeve black and blue floral frock is complemented with summer-ready tan suede espadrille wedges and Kate chose to wear her hair in a classic braid.

We love that she is ready for these warmer months as we often look to Kate for style inspiration...

Why not copy Kate and get a similar look to the right, or save with one of our floral dresses down in the carousel below.

The navy floral Eloquii is at the top of our wish list!

The Duchess showed how the space could be enjoyed by little ones when she brought Prince George, five, Princess Charlotte, four, and Prince Louis, one, to explore the space on Sunday. 

She returned to the Chelsea Flower Show to take part in an activity session with local schoolchildren in the garden yesterday morning, before formally unveiling the space to the Queen and other members of the Royal Family yesterday evening. 

The RHS said the activity cards aim to help families 'add a touch of Chelsea magic to their own homes.'

The projects printed on the cards are designed to be low-cost and encourage families to reuse items they might already have lying around. 

One shows how old wellington boots can be re-purposed as a planter.  

Alana Cama, schools and groups programme manager at the RHS, said: 'We're delighted to have been able to create a series of resources with the Duchess of Cambridge.

'Children can now take home a slice of the magical RHS Back to Nature Garden and create special memories with their families in the process.'
