News hot off the press – yesterday I mentioned the gorgeous white Reiss dress Kate Middleton was photographed wearing in the Mario Testino portrait of her and Wills.

You won’t be able to find the Reiss dress in the shops currently, but Reiss are re-releasing it to be in the shops in January, the knee-length white dress is called “Nanette” and will be priced at $268 (U.S) or about 179 of our delightfully royal English pounds.

An enterprising fashionista who already owned the dress from last season sold it on ebay today for 179 GBP up from 99GBP last week. It seems Kate Middleton is England’s answer to Oprah – whatever she touches turns to gold.

I’m dreadfully proud of Princess Catherine-to-be for championing the high st. The press might be in uproar over Kate’s commoner roots, but it just goes to show what a commoner can bring to the Royal party – French Connection, Reiss and Whistles. Expensive nonetheless, but affordable if you save up for it.
