Duchess Sophie Wessex, known for her impeccable style, once again impressed fashion enthusiasts with her choice of attire at the Royal Windsor Flower Show. She graced the event in a dazzling green floral midi dress, covered in daisies, a perfect match for the occasion.
While Sophie’s exact dress from Me+Em is currently sold out, there’s good news for those looking to emulate her elegant look. Phase Eight offers a remarkably similar style, the Ava Floral Midaxi Dress, and it comes with a significant price advantage. Originally priced at £119, the dress is currently on sale for £69, a substantial saving of £50. Both dresses share a striking resemblance, boasting a similar pattern, three-quarter length sleeves, and a flattering drop midi hem skirt.
Available in sizes six to 18, shoppers can also select from a midi or short length, making it a versatile choice for various heights. The dress’s popularity is evident in the numerous positive reviews it has garnered. One customer shared, “Lovely dress, great fit and very comfortable. I’ve worn it dressed up with heels and casual with boots or trainers.” Another raved, “Unusual dress for me to buy – nice colours. Doesn’t need ironing!” And a third exclaimed, “I saw this on an Instagram and fell in love with it. Close up, the fabric is very pretty indeed. Lovely dress and the oh-so-wonderful pockets!”
The Ava Floral Midaxi Dress can be styled with various accessories, ranging from flat sandals to summer wedges, just as Sophie has effortlessly paired hers. Its versatility extends beyond summery ensembles, making it a perfect layering piece with a smart jacket or chic waistcoat for cooler days.
To complete Sophie’s look, consider pairing the dress with the £69 Lloret Suede Espadrille Sandals from John Lewis and a £25 Waist Belt from Marks and Spencer.
For those seeking alternative options, the Green Ditsy Floral Print Shirt Dress from Roman Originals offers a lovely substitute at £38. Another highly recommended option is the Fat Face Simone Damask Floral Jersey Dress, available for £49.50 in two different lengths. One satisfied shopper enthusiastically shared, “I wear it loads and get compliments.”
