Kate Middleton's love for polka dots is well-known to her fashion followers. Her £1600 Alessandra Rich dress , which is back in stock after selling out, has made us all fall for the navy and white pattern she adores. After a long search for a similar dress, I've finally found an affordable alternative .

I was overjoyed when I discovered this Wellwits Women's Polka Dots Pleated Midi Dress . The perfectly tailored and pricey Alessandra Rich navy polka-dot dress is beyond my budget, as is the £125 Kate Middleton-inspired polka-dot dress from Boden. However, this £29 midi is a perfect stand-in for Kate's signature summer polka dot dress.

Almost £100 cheaper, the Wellwits alternative offers the same silhouette as Kate's dress, complete with a belt to cinch in at the waist. The patterned tie also conceals the elasticated waistline that separates the torso and skirt, making it a flattering fit for anyone, reports OK! The puff sleeves add a feminine touch while mirroring the strong shoulders of the Alessandra Rich designs. Although Kate's original outfit features a lower neckline, this polka-dot dupe's high-neck collar design makes it a versatile piece for any formal occasion.
