The designer’s website explained that the dress is “an ivory and floral polka dot print produced in silk crepe de chine for a beautifully lightweight feel”.
“Featuring delicate buttons and a frilled high neck, this long-sleeved midi-length printed dress is fitted through to the hips, falling into a straight skirt for a clean elegant finish. A perfect choice for formal events this season,” Beulah London commented.
Sophie’s meeting in Iraq was part of her work to champion the survivors of conflict-related sexual violence.
The Duchess paired the gown with her Sophie Habsburg Cleo clutch bag in burgundy which retails for £337 and nude pumps from Prada.
The elegant clutch bag is a “small hand-painted shoulder, crossbody bag, with a removable chain” and is “perfect to wear as an evening clutch,” the designer explained.
