Princess Eugenie flew the flag for British fashion as she stepped out at the Buckingham Palace garden party earlier this month. She wore a very stylish navy and white polka-dot dress from Rixo London.
The British brand launched back in 2015 with a goal to create a label inspired by vintage fashion, but with a contemporary touch. It has become known for its chic dresses and over the years, we have seen not only Princess Eugenie wear its collection, but also her sister Princess Beatrice and the Princess of Wales.
The Daily Express has identified Eugenie’s exact dress, which currently retails for £345, and curated a list of affordable alternatives.
This silk crepe v-neck dress has pretty ruffles on the skirt and capped sleeves. Cut on the bias but with a floaty skirt and a tie waist it works just as well for day time as it does for evening. It comes in sizes 6-26, in regular and petite lengths.
For anyone who prefers more of an A-line skirt and likes a wrap-style dress, this, with flattering kimono sleeves and a tie-waist, is a good bet. Plus, it’s in the sale, however it’s only available in sizes 8-14 right now.
For a casual take on the princess’s look, try this twist on the colour combination. It’s a black drop-waist cotton dress with sky-blue polka dots. Note that the fabric is quite thin, so you may need a slip under this one. It comes in sizes 6-24, and there is a tall version.
With its metallic polka dots, this one adds some very subtle shimmer into the mix. It has a wrap style v-neck, a pretty asymmetrical skirt, and ties at the waist for extra definition. It comes in sizes 8-16 and is currently 40% off.
For anyone who prefers a longer sleeve, this midi shirt dress from Crew Clothing is good choice (plus it will work with tights for cooler temperatures). It’s available in sizes 6-18 and is currently reduced by 40%.
