Dressing like a Royal Family member and taking inspiration from the likes of Princess of Wales, Kate Middleton, can be expensive. But, if you know the right places to look, you could save yourself lots of money by opting for cheaper lookalike outfits.
One example is Shein’s £19.19Poéselle High Neck Mermaid Sweater Dress, which is available in a ‘gorgeous’ burgundy colour. The dress could be easily mistaken at a glance for the jumper and skirt combo Kate Middleton wore in a recent outing.
The mum-of-three visited the Royal Marsden Hospital in London earlier this month. The Princess’ own personal cancer journey saw her receive treatment from the hospital in 2024.
Following Her Royal Highness’ visit, she, along with her husband Prince Willian, became Joint Patrons of The Royal Marsden NHS Foundation Trust. The Royal Marsden opened its doors in 1851 as the world’s first hospital dedicated to cancer diagnosis, treatment, research and education.
During the visit, Kate looked stunning in a gorgeous turtleneck jumper in a deep burgundy colour, which was paired with a matching skirt. She finished the look with a strong-shouldered brown wool coat.
The jumper Kate wore is reportedly from Scottish fashion brand, Kiltane, which sells a variety of cashmere turtleneck sweaters, which can cost around £119. As for the skirt, it is said to be from Edeline Lee – priced at £595.
However, you could save yourself hundreds by opting for Shein’s Poéselle High Neck Mermaid Sweater Dress that looks almost identical to Kate’s outfit. Plus, it will only cost you £19.19.
The dress is available in five colours: burgundy, black, grey, brown and beige. Sizes include extra small, small, medium and large. Much like Kate’s Kiltane jumper, the top of the £19 dress features a roll neck and a slim-fit silhouette.
There is a bow you can tie at the back for added elegance and tightness. And you could roll the sleeves up slightly to replicate Kate’s three quarter-length cut.
Of course, Shein’s £19 acrylic, polyester and polyamide dress isn’t made with the same high-quality material as Kiltane and Edeline Lee. But considering the price difference, it still looks as luxurious.
In the reviews, customers have rated Shein’s £19 dress 4.79 stars out of five. One shopper wrote: “Super quality, love this product, I recommend to everyone.”
A second said: “Nice quality, comfy fit, looks really elegant!” A third put: “Nice and comfortable, looks as shown in picture.” One more added: “Looks soo good!! Its a little bit long for my liking but ill wear it anyways.”
