Like Us, Kate Middleton leans on mega flattering dress styles. During a summer outing, Middleton opted for a dress that covered her upper arms and cinched her waist at the same time, no squeezing involved. We found the look on sale for only $50!

While visiting a children’s hospital, Middleton wore a crisp white dress, adorned with front buttons, elbow-length puff sleeves and a belt that cinched her waist to perfection. The dress style was ladylike and breezy, and we’re copying the look all summer long. Seriously, it’s never been so easy to dress like a royal!

This Prettygarden Belted Maxi Dress appears incredibly similar, with the same white color, flowy skirt and puff sleeves that conveniently cover batwings. To top it off, it features an adjustable tie belt that shapes without squeezing.

And don’t worry, the fabric doesn’t stick. The cotton-blend fabric hangs loosely from your waist down, gently skimming past your tummy and adding movement when you walk.

One five-star reviewer wrote, “I absolutely love how flattering this summer dress is. The sleeves go down to my elbow, so it covers my thick arms . . . The skirt skims over my hips and my tummy area, so it’s very comfortable and looks nice without it looking so baggy and shapeless.”

Another happy fan wrote, “So cute. Fit perfectly on my short frame. The fit was great over my hips and thighs. (I’m a curvy shape.) Actually surprised me that I received so many compliments.”

Middleton reaches for tailored silhouettes with a romantic twist, and this maxi dress totally nails it. It’s the outfit you’ll choose for baby showers, vacations and brunches alike. We’re wearing it weekly through Labor Day . . . then snagging another color for fall.
