So blame the school that Kate didn't show up in her princess outfit!
Personally, I never thought she had dressed inappropriately. She was making a low-key visit to an art school. Things can get messy. But I did read several comments here and other places about how disrespectful it was of Catherine to dress in such a manner.
I also read that people felt Catherine also was unfeeling and rude to make the children wait outside in the cold to give her a send-off when it turns out that the school mustered the students outside to say farewell.
Catherine has made a point of "dressing down", "dressing High Street", not wanting to be a "Clothes Horse", being "ordinary". She seems to be under the impression that if she isn't seen to spend money at really high end retailers whilst showcasing the High Street, she is to be admired for her "economy" for not spending conspicuously.
What an opportunity! How about I only wear "made in the UK" or whatever it's called?For now I think "what she has been doing" is a poisoned chalice.

But this is a double edged sword. This is not the first "scandal" about cheap labour, even slave labour, to come out of the High Street. And to be honest if Catherine had never married Prince William few, if any of these incidents and allegations would ever have reached the front pages. But her patronage of these outlets is sending their profits into the stratosphere which, in turn, will result in even more exploited workers.
I think the time has come for her to move on up. Yes it will cost her more in these financially straightened times but what is worse? Buying clothing from those who exploit workers mercilessly and without conscience all in aid of the bottom line, or Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge, spending money she can afford on clothing I can't?
No contest!
Kate has been selling Burberry to increase significantly

Yes, it would be hard to find but not THAT hard, a good assitant could make it his/her business to find out!
Don't tell me there are no small start ups by young British designers from all those fashion and art colleges?
And I NEVER understood why she would buy from Zara, a spanish business.
Please, step it up and find those lovely British lace workers who made the lace and sewed it onto her wedding dress. Maybe they can point her in the right direction?? She's in a position to make a difference, what a lucky girl
I can't see why Kate doesn't use British designers.
