Sophie, Duchess of Edinburgh spend the afternoon with the British Bobsleigh and Skeleton Association, of whom she is patron. The meeting took place at Buckingham Palace, and for the occasion, she dressed in a brown polka dot dress and camel blazer.
Sophie’s dress is not new, in fact, it has been in her wardrobe for the last five years.
It is a Diane von Furstenberg Baker Wrap-Around Dress in brown silk.
According to royal fashion fans, the dress “takes inspiration from feminine, retro designs in the form of a white polka-dot print”.
“It’s shaped for a slim fit with a wrap-around bodice – a nod to the designer’s hallmark piece – then falls into an asymmetric hem.”
