File: For today's visit to the Barlby Primary School in London to
officially name The Clore Art Room, the Duchess of Cambridge wore a new
navy blue "Naomi" dress by Madderson London. The fabric of A-line, shift dress comes from Hainsworth,
a heritage British mill that clothed the soldiers in the Battle of
Waterloo. The 100% wool dress, trimmed with French tweed, has been
reduced from £450 to £225. The designer's website went down as soon as
Kate was seen wearing the dress, and it has since sold old. However,
there are different versions of the dress still available.
