The Duchess of Cambridge visited Family Action's Lewisham centre today, which provides support for children and families in South London.
Kate was on hand to launch their new service ‘FamilyLine’ – which uses a network of volunteers from across the country to support parents & carers through phone calls, email and texts.
The Duchess also meet carers and volunteers involved in the charity which celebrates its 150th anniversary this year.
Made from 100% wool crepe, the olive green midi-length frock features a darted bodice, fitted waist, puffed sleeves, a-line skirt and decorative button detailing at the left side.
Kate’s dress does not have the fluted sleeve and instead is fashioned with a three button cuff.
The Duchess defined the waist of the dress with her green croc-embossed belt. First worn at the 2014 St Patrick’s Day parade at Mons Barracks, the piece remains unidentified.
Kate carried her LK Bennett 'Dora' Khaki Suede Clutch, and on her feet she wore her Gianvito Rossi 'Gianvito' 85 dark olive suede pumps (US$675).
She topped off the look with her Kiki Green Amethyst Cushion & Diamond Earrings.

I prefer the real version with those beautiful cuffs and without that belt and the buttons. Anyway it is gorgeous as well.

I also love the romantic look of the model version more. Not so fond of the belt and black shoes. Love the changed sleeves with buttons, should be less puffy on shoulders. Looks like Cate like puffy shoulders, which is interesting.

The beauty is in the details with this dress. Kate opted for puff sleeves and no cuff which I think flatters her figure better. The buttons down the side are a cute detail. Love this color on her!

Classic Kate and simply gorgeous. Love that colour on her and delighted to see her tidy up those sleeve cuffs, Beulah tends to be a bit over-romantic on its styling for me. The off-centre skirt button detailing is sleek and fresh, all at once laid-back and still adding enough contrast to catch the eye. A winner.

Beautiful! Love the modifications! It won't be dated as quickly. Plus, it supports a good cause.

The Duchess looks beautiful. The dress is divine, very elegant, no fuss, just nice clean lines. I prefer this version to the models, not liking the sleeves. The colour looks fantastic on the Duchess. Love the accessories, she has nailed this look. What a terrific organisation.

Looking at all the photos on MailOnline and Beulah London, Kate beautiful dress has buttons all they way down the side of the dress and there is a little slide. The original has buttons down the side up until the end of hand and there is a big slide the rest of the way. There is only one Picture MailOnline has Kate getting out of the car and you see the little slide. I think the dress looks much more interesting with all the buttons down the dress, that was a great fix to close the slite and make the dress more interesting. Also like Kate’s sleeves with buttons, makes the dress look a more professional look verses romantic. Perfect for this important appearance, on point.

This is a classy, elegant, understated look and is appropriate for the occasion. It is a hard colour to wear but the Duchess of Cambridge really carries it off.

Catherine always looks elegant in green, the colour suites her. The dress is beautiful, simple and the button add a touch of class. Her passion for the children and supporting families is gaining momentum.

Beautiful dress for Kate. Very nice fabric and the olive colour suits her so well. Good to see that Kate favours a socially concious label like Beulah.

I actually like to dress with the belt. I'm glad she modified the sleeves to not include the puff sleeves.
