On day 2 of the tour, the Duchess premiered an ivory/cream midi-length dress from New Zealand-born designer, Emilia Wickstead.  The neutral-hued dress, was a simpler choice from the jewel-toned Jenny Packham gown and red paisley Alexander McQueen outfits Kate kicked off the tour in.

The dress is from the designer's Fall/Winter 2014 collection. The fit-and-flare silhouette is enhanced with an exaggerated Peter Pan collar, two faux breast flap pockets and two front slit pockets. The frock was made in Italy using 100% wool-crepe. It retailed for £1,760.

Kate teamed the dress with new blush accessories. We immediately recognized the silhouette of the Mulberry 'Baywater' suede clutch because the Duchess also owns this model in black suede and cranberry suede.
