Kate For Christmas

My Christmas set this year was inspired by Kate Middleton, Duchess of Cambridge. I have chosen six items in festive colours: three dresses, two clutch bags and one hat.

The six items I've re-created this time are as follows:

1. The glamorous fiery red silk jersey and chiffon Sarai dress by Beulah London which Kate wore to a Gala Fundraiser in London on 13 October 2011. This full length dress features a plunging V neckline, billowing sheer chiffon sleeves and luxurious long wrap around ties at the waist. I wasn't able to find a mesh with long puffed alpha sleeves so instead I used Ekinege's beautiful Mesh 09 which has long flared alpha sleeves and I think works very nicely.

2. On the same evening, Kate carried the gorgeous gold metallic weave Edith envelope clutch bag by Wilbur & Gussie. This requires my favourite NataliS clutch bag mesh.

3. The striking lawn green silk Maja dress by Diane von Furstenberg which Kate wore in Los Angeles on 8 July 2011. This knee length dress features a deep V-back with a line of gold buttons, elbow length sleeves and a belted waist. Worn with taupe high heeled L.K. Bennett pumps. Not my favourite of Kate's outfits, but I thought the colour was very festive. This outfit uses Elena's Cocktail mesh.  This mesh has the cutest platform high heeled shoes and allowed me to illustrate the soles of the shoes, an interesting novelty - take a look!

4. On the same evening, Kate carried a striking leopard print snakeskin clutch bag by Diane von Furstenberg. Again, not one of my favourites, but I think it goes well with the green dress. Again, this requires the NataliS clutch bag mesh.

5. The glamorous red French floral lace dress by Collette Dinnigan which Kate wore to a wedding on 24 September 2011. This knee length dress features a red lace overlay with a black lining, scoop neckline & elbow length lace sleeves. Worn with black high heeled Prada pumps. This outfit requires my favourite mesh 007 by ulkrhsn.

6. Kate wears a lot of very cute fascinators and small hats. I used steffor's Advent - Accessories - 5 hat mesh to create a generic small red hat.

I hope you enjoy my Christmas Kate set.

Merry Christmas!
