The design is a modified version of the label's 'Samurai' Skirt Coat which Kate owns in ivory.  The double-breasted front and flap pockets remain, but ruffles of the Samurai coat have been replaced with pleats on this new style.

The garden, co-designed by the Duchess of Cambridge with Davies White Landscape Architects, and in partnership with the Royal Horticultural Society, is a woodland setting for families and communities to come together and connect with nature.

"I hope that this woodland that we have created here really inspires families, kids and communities to get outside, enjoy nature and the outdoors and spend quality time together." — The Duchess of Cambridge on the #RHSChelsea Back to Nature Garden pic.twitter.com/286B9TOPGA

Over the past months, Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis have helped their mum gather moss, leaves and twigs to help decorate the Back to Nature Garden. 
Today, Kate took her family on a tour of the lush space.

For today’s special visit to the Chelsea Flower Show, the Duchess wore a print dress from Swedish womenswear retailer, & Other Stories.  It is a brand we have not previously seen her sport.
& Other Stories Floral Ruffled Maxi Dress
The style is the label's Floral Ruffled Maxi Dress (£79) - featuring long sleeves, and a mardarin collar with button up front. The fabric and lining are both 100% polyester. Thanks to @Japanese_Ginger for the ID via Twitter.

The style is also available in a shorter length, the Floral Ruffled Mini-Dress (£49).

On her feet, Kate wore a new pair of espadrilles, the Casteñer 'Carina' 80 wedge in brown suede (US$170). The shoe has a jute toe and wedge heel, and cotton heel cup. The vamp is done in suede and it is finished with matching suede ankle ties.
