Kate Middleton offers style inspiration to many fashion fans with her elegant and sophisticated clothing choices. The royal has worn a countless number of chic dresses over the years and those looking to emulate her look don't necessarily have to splash out on designer items. In fact, shoppers have found a high-street shop selling a summer dress that has 'a Kate Middleton look'. The Roman Contrast Ric Rac Midi Dress has been said to have a 'luxury look at an excellent price' and it's ideal for the hot weather. 

Typically priced at £42, shoppers can get the dress for even cheaper using the code DREAM at checkout. This will apply a 10% discount, taking the dress down to £38. We imagine Kate Middleton would favour the monochrome colourway, however, she does wear pops of colour on occasion, so the pink and red offering is also a lovely choice. The dress comes in sizes 10 to 20 and falls to calf length.

With summer holiday season coming up and many shoppers having special events in the diary such as weddings to attend, this dress now under £40 is an excellent contender. 

Shoppers might also want to check out the Boden up to 60% off sale. The Isobel Broderie Mix Maxi Dress has been praised for looking 'classy' and 'perfect for summer weddings and parties'. Usually £120, it has been reduced to £84.

Speaking of the Roman dress, customers have left rave reviews. One person said: "Just up my street, colourful with a bit of something difference." And a second wrote: "Love the colours on this dress and the style looks so summery."

However, shoppers with a shorter stature may struggle if they want the dress to fall to the right length. There are no options to choose petite sizing. At Next, this Black Strappy Shirred Jersey Maxi Dress has a similar look to the Roman dress, but is stocked in regular or petite. 

Another customer at Roman has described the Contrast Ric Rac Midi Dress as being 'gorgeous' and just what they wanted from a 'strappy sun dress'.
