I must admit that even I, a person with a weakness for Erdem, do not care for this dress on Kate at all -- in part because I think those wedges are really wacky with it. (I would like it much better if it didn't go all the way up to the neck. Imagine it with more of a v-neck and it's much better.) But Kate LOVES a patterned Erdem prairie dress. AND a wedge. ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2019/05/shutterstock_10241724q-1558376745.jpg) Mandatory Credit: Photo by Guy Bell/REX/Shutterstock (10241724q) Catherine Duchess of Cambridge leaves after a visit - The RHS Back to Nature Garden, Designed by HRH Catherine Duchess of Cambridge with Andree Davies and Adam White RHS Chelsea Flower Show, Press Day, London, UK - 20 May 2019 Press preview day at The RHS Chelsea Flower Show.

RHS Chelsea Flower Show, London, UK - 20 May 2019 Wearing M.I.H Jeans, Top, Wearing Massimo Dutti, Trousers, Shoes By Superga, High-Street Brand Here's my thought about these trousers -- and goodness knows, we're always talking about how Kate needs to branch out her game from jeans: if they're going to be in this linen-y fabric, I think they need to be full-length. If you're going to go wide-legged cropped, I think they work better in a stiffer fabric. ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2019/05/shutterstock_10241660s-1558376716.jpg) Mandatory Credit: Photo by Mark Thomas/REX/Shutterstock (10241660s) Catherine Duchess of Cambridge climbs down from the Treehouse as she visits The Chelsea Flower Show.

RHS Chelsea Flower Show, London, UK - 20 May 2019 But full marks for realizing that pants were required for this one, given all the climbing and whatnot. I don't love the execution, but I appreciate the idea. I also VERY appreciate how that kid in the background appears to be thinking, "I have some notes about those trousers. I cannot wait to get home to my blog!" ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2019/05/f38c8de27d1-1558376650.jpg) USA Rights Only - London, UK -20190520- Duchess of Cambridge visits the RHS Chelsea Flower Show 2019\. -PICTURED: Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge -PHOTO by: Yui Mok/PA Images/INSTARimages.com -43000626.jpg This is an editorial, rights-managed image.

I am unmoved by Sophie's pashmina, but [her Suzannah dress is good](https://www.suzannah.com/products/stormy-hearts-tea-dress?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io). I wish Kate had worn THIS. (Kate does have several dresses just like it, after all, including one by the same designer.) ## Sophie Wessex ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2019/05/shutterstock_10241860p-1558376814.jpg) Mandatory Credit: Photo by Tim Rooke/REX/Shutterstock (10241860p) Sophie Countess of Wessex RHS Chelsea Flower Show, Press Day, London, UK - 20 May 2019 Sophie seems like a good sport. (Edward was also there. Once again, I chose not to spend my photo budget on Edward. He looks like Edward. If it brings him comfort, Prince Andrew ALSO attended and I ALSO snubbed HIM. He looked like himself as well.) ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2019/05/shutterstock_10241860ar-1558381204.jpg) Mandatory Credit: Photo by Tim Rooke/REX/Shutterstock (10241860ar) Sophie Countess of Wessex RHS Chelsea Flower Show, Press Day, London, UK - 20 May 2019 "I know it's tempting to take a quick little dip, ma'am, but we have to ask that you not dive in.
