In breaking news, William and Kate along with 18-month-old Prince George are rumoured to be enjoying a vacation on the island of Mustique. A source confirms to E! News that there's increased security on the island and restrictions in place due to "important guests" visiting on holiday. (The Palace would not comment or confirm details.) It's believed the royal family have returned to their beloved getaway spot to celebrate Carole Middleton's upcoming 60th birthday.

REPLIKATE REVIEW

Giulia Giusto kindly posted a review and photos of her wearing this gorgeous repliKate of the Prabal Gurung dress from AliExpress:
Picture
"The dress is very good, the quality of the fabric surprised me, it is thick, soft and every seam is perfect, it has liner and the... zip is invisible. The fabric, as the original dress, is a little bit shiny, colors are a bit brighter than the PG dress. The details are not exact the same but for the price it is an amazing piece!"

Marianna posted the following review about the stunning Suzannah Budding Hearts repliKate dress she purchased from eBay:
Picture
"I ordered the Green Floral Budding Heart Print Tea Silk Vintage Dress from eBay.  The dress is a real bargain at £31.99 (about $48), plus £6 (about $9) worldwide signed-for shipping.  Shipping took quite some time: I ordered the dress on 17 August and it only shipped on 26 August. Afterwards, it took about a month for it to get to me in Italy with registered postage, and I received it on 29 September. Anyway, dealing with the seller was a pleasure, as they always replied to emails straight away. Listed as being 80% viscose and 20% silk, the dress is, thankfully, much less shiny in person than it looks in the listing photos. The fabric is reasonably good quality, although I very much doubt it's silk-mix. The cut looks a lot like the original Suzannah dress, down to the skirt part being lined in a white fabric, and the print is almost identical. The main difference I noticed is, in the eBay copy the white hearts have a black/dark grey contour, which is absent in the original print. I'm usually a UK size 12, I got the size 14, as I was worried it'd run small, and it fits me perfectly. The dress is available in UK sizes 8-18. I found the measurements supplied were fairly accurate; plus, at 101 cm long, the dress is the perfect lenght for me (I'm 168 cm tall).   My original blog post on the subject can be found here."
