I know there have been several discussions about sewing patterns inspired by her clothes. I think her style is just fabulous and would love to sew something to get her look.

Date: 3/20/12 9:18 AM I think that's a terrific idea. Kate has excellent taste, and her wide ranging, updated classic style ranges from sporty casual to businesslike to dressey. There's something for everyone, regardless of age, budget or dress size. ------ The essence of life is statistical improbability on a colossal scale.

Date: 3/20/12 4:01 PM What sort of fabric do you think you will use? What colour?
I love this DvF dress

I think New Look 6049 could be adapted for this look

Obviously I would need a tie belt. It is the back of the dress that is distinctive. It has a V-back and is buttoned with gold buttons. Hopefully I could alter the pattern! I have never altered a pattern before so any advice is greatly appreciated. ------ Catherine
