We’re yet to see a hint of a bump but if K-Middy was fretting over her impending maternity fashion choices she can rest assured because one of her favourite designers Issa has just launched a range especially for mummy’s-to-be.
Based on the royal blue version Kate wore for her official engagement announcement in 2010, the updated wrap dress features a super flattering empire waist and is sure to be top of Kate’s sartorial wish list.
Stocked by maternity clothing specialists Blossom Mother and Child, Kate won’t even have to leave the house to get her hands on it as the company offers next day delivery from their online shop.

The maternity version of Kate’s engagement dress
But, the thrifty royal might not appreciate the price tag. The original dress she wore came in at a pricey €450 (£385) but the maternity version is retailing for €609 (£522) – a bit of a price hike for a bit of extra material.
Based in London, Issa has long been a firm favourite of Kate’s and she’s worn similar slinky designs to a host of other official engagements over the years so we’re guessing she’ll make the splurge.
