Alison Hammond’s stunning navy polka dot midi dress, reminiscent of Kate Middleton’s style, captured the attention of This Morning viewers last week. During the show, the 50-year-old host, accompanied by Dermot O’Leary and Alice Beer, humorously discovered a spare button that she mistook for a flower inside her outfit.
Following the on-air mishap, fans were eager to locate the dress for purchase. Adorned with silver flower embellishments cascading down the bodice, the dress features a smart collar and short puff sleeves, exuding elegance and chicness.
Despite the dress’s popularity, some shoppers expressed surprise at its premium price of £150. One shopper, impressed by the dress but deterred by the cost, jokingly mentioned returning to budget-friendly stores like Primark.
The dress in question, the Kate Puff Sleeve Polka Dot Midi Dress Blue by Monsoon, is available in sizes 6-24. Polka dot patterns have been a staple in royal wardrobes, with Kate Middleton famously donning a similar style by Alessandra Rich in the past.
For those looking for alternatives, Debenhams offers a Navy Polka Dot Print Midaxi Shirt Dress for £32, suitable for various occasions. Boden also presents a navy polka dot frock priced at £119, currently available at a discounted rate of £107.10 with a promotional code.
While the Monsoon dress has yet to receive customer reviews, Alison Hammond’s endorsement and its timeless design make it a promising investment. Monsoon suggests pairing the dress with kitten heels and glossy jewelry for a polished look. The dress can be purchased on the Monsoon website.
