The stock photos offer a better look at Kate's Alexander McQueen Petal Print Oversized Mini Dress (US$2,045).  The trapeze dress in 100% silk crepe de chine has an all-over petal print. It features soft gathering on the shoulder, three-quarter length sleeve with ruffled cuff and an asymmetrical ruffle detail on the hem. It is finished with keyhole button fastening at the back of the neck. The dress is currently available at Alexander McQueen, Neiman Marcus, and Saks Fifth Ave.

The print can be found throughout the 2018 Summer/Spring collection:

The dress silhouette is also available in navy and red wool.

With a clear royal diary on Monday, it seems we can expect the extended Royal Family for the Queen's annual Buckingham Palace lunch. Stay tuned for the arrival photos!
