You've also tailored the dress to be a bit more fitted than Kate is wearing hers. Which is good! You've made it your own! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/style-icon-challenge-more-a-copycat#post-1718023 Tue, 23 Aug 2016 19:43:56 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1718023@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That dress was made for you, Ginger. You look smashing in it, just as good as, or better than, the Duchess herself. I like her addition of a navy belt, but yours looks great without it, too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/style-icon-challenge-more-a-copycat#post-1717887 Tue, 23 Aug 2016 16:27:31 +0000 Elizabeth P 1717887@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fabulous copy/copycat Ginger.&nbsp; You look amazing in that dress, good find! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/style-icon-challenge-more-a-copycat#post-1717824 Tue, 23 Aug 2016 15:17:41 +0000 El Cee 1717824@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look absolutely gorgeous, Ginger. Agreeing with Joy that you look even better than Kate in this dress. It was made for you.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/style-icon-challenge-more-a-copycat#post-1717660 Tue, 23 Aug 2016 03:38:44 +0000 Anonymous 1717660@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow!

I've already worn this for (1) meeting a friend for lunch at Jason's Deli, (2) a sewing day / sewing room organization day at home, (3) to work (widely interpreted business casual), and (4) to church.&nbsp; So pretty much everything! I varied the footwear, and my hair went up when I was working at home, but that's it.</p> <p><b>Alassë</b>, that's a good point. It's very much in line with my style goals.</p> <p><b>Rachy</b>, I think you're onto something. Kate had several other boho looks on this tour, and while she wears them well, this is the only one that I thought would work for me. She's acquired a lot of polish, but there seems to be an innate component that makes it easier.&nbsp; I suspect I have some of that. Like I told Sally, I already have worn this (and most of my other outfits) to work, run errands, and around the house if I feel like it.&nbsp; Literally the only difference in styling is shoe choice. Is that a polish thing? I don't know. I've never been told I was too casual at work, but I have been asked why I was "dressed up" in other situations. <i>I </i>feel perfectly comfortable!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/style-icon-challenge-more-a-copycat#post-1717599 Tue, 23 Aug 2016 00:34:55 +0000 Anonymous 1717599@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a great look for you, at a great price!

It's not only a fun look, I really love the dress just for itself.</p> <p>I know it, <b>crazyone</b>!&nbsp; Kate wears a mix, quite a bit designer but also a good bit high street, including ASOS.&nbsp; And thank you - you're very kind! I'm reveling in a maxi dress that's long enough. :D</p> <p>Thank you, <b>shedev</b>!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/style-icon-challenge-more-a-copycat#post-1717531 Mon, 22 Aug 2016 20:17:36 +0000 shedev 1717531@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The dress looks really good on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/style-icon-challenge-more-a-copycat#post-1717527 Mon, 22 Aug 2016 20:09:01 +0000 crazyone 1717527@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OMG, Ginger, you look amazing, and I can't believe you got the same dress--I assumed because Kate was wearing it it was some high end designer dress. &nbsp;You look supremely tall and regal in it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/style-icon-challenge-more-a-copycat#post-1717522 Mon, 22 Aug 2016 19:42:46 +0000 Angie 1717522@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Killer excellent copy cat. How fun that you could get the SAME dress. You nailed it, Ginger.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/style-icon-challenge-more-a-copycat#post-1717516 Mon, 22 Aug 2016 19:32:35 +0000 Ginger 1717516@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Confession: This is the exact same dress that Kate wore earlier this year in India. It's really an unusual piece, a maxi dress with a full skirt, fitted waist, and long sleeves. It's from the UK brand Glamorous, and though not pricey, not something I would spend on a whim.</p> <p>Until I saw it on clearance at ASOS, with sizes selling out.</p> <p>I love this dress! The traditional print is great, and it combines two of my staple colors, red navy. The flow of the skirt is just lovely. It's lightweight but not sheer, good for A/C. I did make a couple alterations, such as taking a couple inches out of the waist at the backing. </p> <p>It's true I never would have bought the dress if I hadn't seen the Duchess wearing it. First because I wouldn't know it existed. But also because the model picture shows it does indeed lace closed in front. Not my style! And I wouldn't take the chance of ordering to see if I could make it work. But seeing it on Kate, the flow and cut were very attractive, and the lacing was adaptable. I hand stitched it together between the lacing, and it's good to go!</p> <p>The irony is that this, my first imitation of proclaimed style icon Kate, is in line with her boho side. And I don't do boho! But this works perfectly with my fit and color priorities, so I'm satisfied. I also paired it with refined pointy-toe ankle strap heels; that height shows off the length and handkerchief hem. </p> <p>Pictures 1-4 are me, doing my best with a narrow (and dirty! yikes!) mirror. Picture 5 is the Duchess. She added a plain navy belt, and may have evened up the hem.</p>
