Kate Middleton and the Reiss Shola Bandage Dress

Kate Middleton in her Reiss Shola bandage dress with Michelle Obama

When Kate Middleton alongside her new husband, Prince William, met the Obamas on their official European tour back in May 2011, she wore the most beautiful dress that is still being talked about months later.

It was a beige-colored Reiss Shola bandage dress that fitted her slim figure perfectly.

Immediately afterwards, fans flooded the Reiss Shola website and managed to crash it!

All copies of their $340 dress immediately sold out and the company have confirmed that they have no plans to produce any more.

With the dress being unavailable now, and with thousands of women still wanting to buy it, prices for the dress are being offered on sites like eBay at double or even treble the original price.

Kate Middleton and the cheap high street store copy of the Reiss shola dress

Many high street stores have brought out cheap copies of the Reiss Shola bandage dress, which can be bought at a fraction of the price.

My concern would be that you really have to be ultra-slim or curvy in exactly the right places to get away with wearing a dress like this.

Both US and British women are, let's face it, by and large, FAT. And so such a dress would be totally wasted on them.

Come on girls, look in the mirror and be honest with yourself.
How on Earth do you think you can get away with wearing a figure hugging bandage dress and still look good?

Kate Middleton does. I should say, the former Kate Middleton as she is now known as the Duchess of Cambridge.
