The long-sleeved Emblem Flare cotton knit dress (about $1,000) resembles stained glass ironwork, with a slashed neckline, scoop back and delicate crocheted panels exposing a nude underslip. Kate is about 12 weeks pregnant with her second child and is due in April but, as tweeters on the scene noted, there's barely a baby bump visible, despite the clingy dress. This did not stop the photographers from angling to snap her from the side.
