Sophie, The Countess of Wessex paid a visit to St Thomas Hospital in London this week (Tuesday 25th September), for the opening of the new rare diseases unit. Sophie met with staff and patients at the facility and was dressed in a feminine polka dot printed dress.

The Countess wore a Diane Von Furstenberg Baker polka-dot wrap-around silk dress, retailing for £353. The classic wrap is a signature style of DVF and an iconic look of the label. The brown dress takes inspiration from retro designs with its polka dot pattern. The self-tie belt wrap dress has long sleeves, a fit and flare skirt with an asymmetric hem. The tea length of the skirt is much favoured by the Countess and we can see this very much being a much loved and go to piece for Sophie over the coming years, as it is a style that will not date. Sophie is picture-perfect in this beautiful dress. You can purchase the same dress as seen on the Countess here, here, here, here and here.

The Countess of Wessex owns a similar dress to this already – a brown and white patterned piece (albeit sleeveless) from Prada.
Sophie wore Loewe ‘Collarless V-neck coat’, retailing for £1,372. The cream coloured cashmere coat has no collar, exaggerated drop shoulders, a single hidden button closure and diagonal slit pockets. The oversize fit and very relaxed tailoring of this coat, does not seem in keeping with the dress style underneath. We would love to see a more tailored feminine coat with shoulder, cuff and belt details. This coat would be great for more casual engagements and worn over trousers or jeans. You can purchase the coat here. Get a great replicate here.

Sophie wore Jimmy Choo ‘Blush Pink Velvet Pump’, retailing for £306. These pointed toe stiletto heels feature beautiful blush crushed velvet fabric and have a heel height of 85mm, although in the picture above, they look taller, which may mean the Countess has two pairs in different heel heights. The velvet gives a nice contrast and mix to the soft silk of the dress. You can purchase these at a discounted price here. Get a nice replicate here.
