so? I own about 10 shirts that are very similar in cut & color. We all have things we like and we get multiples of it in some form or fashion. Victoria owns two of the same dress, just in different colors. Oh and another dress that she has in two different colors & lengths.
Here's the problem. Kate needs to have a closet full of clothes. If she rewears the same thing too often, she gets criticized (see Letizia or even Mary sometimes), but if she owns too many similar things, she gets criticized. If her clothes are too expensive she's criticized, if they're too cheap, etc etc. These women are criticized for everything they do. One need only read a few pages of Kate's fashion thread to see it.
This is the fashion thread, so this is where we criticize or praise. Still, I think some people need to just think before they post. Women in the public eye, such as Kate, or a female politician, are looked over with a fine tooth comb. It's too much.
And to be honest, I don't think Kate has similar dresses to this. The color scheme, perhaps. I remember a maternity dress with some similar colors, but I find this dress to be far more unique than what she's worn in the past.
The length is longer than what she normally wears and the design is new. I love this dress. I'm too short to pull off the below the knees length, but I'd love to have this dress if I could afford it.
