Keep it chic like the Duchess of Sussex in a double-breasted dress by Wales Bonner
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex introduced their newborn son Archie at Windsor Castle recently, and they looked positively glowing with pride.
We all remember the Jenny Packham dresses that the Duchess of Cambridge wore when leaving the hospital with each of her three children, and we're certainly going to remember this beautiful look on Meghan.
She teamed a belted white double breasted midi dress by Wales Bonner, with her Jennifer Meyer turquoise necklace and some nude suede court shoes by Manolo Blahnik. British designer Grace Wales Bonner's pieces are all about clever tailoring, which explains the tuxedo detail on this elegant midi.
