I think this was a good choice for the occasion. A garden event demands a floral dress unless you are getting hands on with the plants. I understand the comment about the matronly effect but Kate spent so much time kneeling down, talking to children, she wisely went for a longer length. I am not keen on the wedges, but the weather has been quite wet in the UK over the last few days so I imagine a sandal was out of the question. I find comments relating to does she need another dress a little ridiculous. I imagine quite a few here on this forum have a fair number of summer dresses which build up in our wardrobes. Kate, who is in a different stratosphere as a senior royal, is wealthy, constantly in the public eye with numerous public and private engagements. Get real!
