Royal Tour Day 11: Kate wears a classic DVF wrap dress to the Blue Mountains

This morning, the Duke and Duchess headed west out of Sydney to the Blue Mountains, one of Australia's most majestic areas of natural beauty. They meet with emergency services personnel, as well as locals impacted by the recent bushfires in the region that destroyed 195 homes.  

Kate wore a flowy cotton wrap dress by Diane von Furstenberg. The DVF 'Patrice' dress is a faux wrap style made from cotton voile.  It is rendered with a blue and black ikat print on a white background. It has cuffed 3/4  sleeves and a subtle flare skirt. At time of posting, it has sold out but retailed for US$325.

Kate brought back the navy suede Stuart Weitzman 'Corkswoon' wedges which coordinated perfectly with the blue printed frock.

She also carried her navy suede Russell & Bromely 'Muse' clutch, also known as the Stuart Weitzman 'Raz' clutch in the USA.

Again, we saw the sapphire & diamond drop earrings, Mappin & Webb 'Fortune' necklace and the Cartier Ballon Bleu watch.

The meet and greet was followed by lunch in the Winmalee Girl Guides Hall where they later planted   a flowering gum tree out the front of the Hall.

The Royal couple then headed to the Echo Point lookout in Katoomba to view the impressive Three Sisters rock formation.

The Duke and Duchess concluded their day trip at Narrow Neck Lookout where they observed an abseiling demonstration by the Mountain Youth Services.  Prince William boldly stood just inches from the 100-metre cliff face. He made many onlookers nervous as he peered over the edge.

You can read further details of today's events on the official website of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge.

Tomorrow morning, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge will remain in Sydney where they will visit the Royal Easter Show. If the afternoon, they head to Manly for two events. The first, a visit to the Bear Cottage Children's Hospice, followed by a surf life-saving display at Manly Beach.
