8 of Kate Middleton's Prettiest Emilia Wickstead Dresses

When the Princess of Wales needs a strong statement dress, floral frock or playful pastel piece, she turns to New Zealand born fashion designer Emilia Wickstead. Known for her feminine and graceful clothing combining contemporary inspiration with vintage charm, the London based Wickstead loves to create elegant occasion wear and colorful tea dresses.

The princess covets Wickstead’s trademark blend of refined regal romanticism and contemporary glamour.

In addition, the label offers Her Royal Highness a catalog of stunning crepe creations, delicate day day dresses and elegant event styles, thus, it’s easy to see why Princess Kate returns to the London based designer time and time again to create her most important ceremonial styles.
