Queen Camilla looked incredible when she made an appearance at Wimbledon in an ivory shirt dress and royal fans wanting to get her look have been searching for similar frocks.
The Queen re-wore a cream-coloured Anna Valentine dress after its first debut during the King and Queen’s state visit to Kenya last year. It features mid-length sleeves and a pleated skirt with a lovely giraffe pattern.
As one of Wimbledon’s partners, Ralph Lauren has created a tennis collection – including this Wimbledon Cotton Oxford Shirtdress. But if you’re on a budget, the luxury brand has also reduced prices across some popular items in its summer sale. Fans can find bargain deals on cable-knit sweaters, striped T-shirts and pony-embroidered tops. We have found some amazing dresses on offer that are similar to Queen Camilla’s shirt dress, and they can save shoppers hundreds of pounds.

Another added: “You can also wear many types of shoes with it: white sneakers, black leather closed Swedish clogs, blue water shoes, brown flat sandals or high espadrilles with ribbon straps and wedge heels. And a long linen coat or a short dark blue cotton shacket over it when it’s a little chilly. Glad it was half price!”
Alternatively, Tommy Hilfiger’s gingham collarless shirtdress is also great for everyday wear and John Lewis has it on sale for £90.
