Carole Middleton attended Wimbledon wearing a white maxi dress from British brand Me+Em, proving that understated elegance never goes out of style. The dress, crafted from 100% cotton, is lightweight and breathable, designed to keep cool even on warm days.
Design and Features
The fit-and-flare silhouette gently skims the body before falling into an elegant maxi-length skirt. It features a V-neckline, short sleeves, and practical side pockets, balancing style with functionality. The all-white look offers a timeless alternative to bold prints or statement colours often seen in summer fashion.
Availability and Pricing
The dress is currently available in UK sizes 6 to 16, priced at £250. It is also offered in a sophisticated khaki green, providing an equally timeless option that can transition into autumn. According to the article, the dress is still in stock, but shoppers are encouraged to purchase quickly before it sells out.
Styling Suggestions
The dress can be styled for various occasions: pair with espadrille wedges and a raffia handbag for holidays; add trainers for an elevated everyday look; or follow Carole's lead by finishing with classic heels and tailored separates for Wimbledon, garden parties, or summer lunches.
Alternative Options
For those seeking a softer take, Phase Eight offers a fit-and-flare white midi dress with pintuck detailing and puff sleeves, priced at £149 (reduced from £126.65 with code SUMMER15). Boden also provides a white linen dress with a detachable belt, available in sizes 10 to 22, priced at £159. Both alternatives are praised for their timeless appeal and suitability for summer events.
