REPLIKATE ROUNDUP

REPLIKATE REVIEW
My dear friend Katie, from the popular Instagram page @katemidleton has kindly reviewed her recent repliKate purchase from Aliexpress:
My absolute favourite outfit from the Royal Tour of India and Bhutan earlier this year was the Naeem Khan embroidered dress the Duchess wore to the Taj Mahal. I found a copy of it on my go-to repliKate online store, Ali Express for just US$13 and it is still available!
I heard from other people's experiences of buying copies of this dress from various places that it ran quite small so I went a size up which, in hindsight, might not have been necessary as mine is a bit roomy but not overly so. The chiffon material is lovely and it is not at all see-through. Up close the pattern is actually more of a dark purple but from a distance it looks very blue. The only problem I have with mine is that it clings in some areas around the legs but that is an easy fix with a white slip underneath. Overall I'm very happy with the dress, especially for that price, and am impressed by the identical porcelain pattern to Kate's version.
