Jenny Packham Resort 2014

Green chiffon dress - Lovely style of dress and quite simple. I would suggest closing the front so its not too revealing. The Duchess would look nice in this with hair pulled up and with long pair of earrings. This is also available in a coral colour which would also looked amazing!
Knot dress - Elegant style and with her slender body she would pull this off nicely. The embellishments like a necklace add a lot to the dress.
Green beaded dress - Lovely colour, embroidery on lace or tulle and the cut is flattering. Hair all up and simple jewellery to complete the look.

Erdem Resort 2014

Jacket and dress - The jacket is wearable with a simple skirt or over a dress. The dress is wearable with a plain jacket or even a coat or even alone for a cocktail.

Collette Dinnigan Resort 2014

Yellow dress - Lovely shade of yellow and a great fit. Would be an ideal choice for her for her Australian tour next year.
Lace evening dress - Simple fit and the belt is lovely. I don't mind if hair is open but all pulled back.

dazzling,
These items are amazing. The dress is smart and well-tailored.

My suggestion is Victoria Beckham*|*Asymmetric crepe midi dress*|*NET-A-PORTER.COM

This dress is simple and elegant. It is made by the British brand and can be recycled with various jackets.

Lol- the chances of Margaret Atwood jumping into the fray as a shallow fashion critic are so laughably small.

This sounds like the Hillary Mantel thing all over again- daily fail taking a nuanced comment by a woman academic and turning it into a cat fight

Yellow printed dress - Lovely color and a nice color I would say for the Duchess. I also think the print is very pretty. This would be a perfect dress for watching a polo match during late spring/summer.
Printed dress - Lovely colors and a lovely print. The tie on the side is very pretty and adds to the dress. The look would be completed with simply pumps or sandals.
Dress - This is a very pretty dress for a private party.
Wrap dress - Kate has worn such styles in the past and they do suit her very well.
Maxi dress - Great dress for an evening or a private party or even for a day out. This can easily be dressed down or up.

Black dress - The neckline should be closed a bit more but other than that this is a perfect dress for any evening event. It just needs statement earrings and a nice hairstyle.
Evening dress - Not too fond of the embellishment belt which I am sure the designer can easily change. The style of the dress is lovely and very dressy yet very simple.

Outfit - Light material and a lovely color for Catherine. Ideal for spring/summer. Hair in a pony tail and this or this pumps would look very nice.
Jacket - Catherine has the figure to wear something so slim fit IMO.
 
I would love her to have more individual pieces. Wear more skirts, since the BRF very rarely wears trousers. I would love her to have some classic pieces she can mix and match with different pieces and accessories. When she recycles it is a big thing because it is so noticeable as it is an entire look. She needs some coats, skirts and items she can mix and match.

Walkely black skirt-structured with a little detail. Could be worn with a multitude of different tops, jackets, accessories to change up look
Nouveaux Black Sculpted Lace Skirt | Amanda Wakeley

top like this paired with it easily. the shirt could be worn with other bottoms. Accessories or a coat could add to the look
Cronado Mercury Silk Shirt | Amanda Wakeley

Love her to have a burberry coat. Not to always wear coat dresses but an out fit with separate coat. She does but not very often.

Either a classic trench that could be paired with more patterned outfits

Or something with more detail that could add some interest to a basic neutral look

Others:

This a bit longer would be an interesting cocktail look for her

I even like how this is styled if she was to wear trousers, could work with a pencil skirt as well. Something sleek. Military look she likes without overboard

In her trip to France, I hope Kate will wear French designers like Chanel and Dior.

I think she might get criticized if she did that; she is supposed to promote British designers.
 
I'm happy Kate wore Chanel dress in France. Too me, its not a bad thing that she wears non British designers sometimes.
