British brand Me+Em is known for its elegant dresses and is regularly worn by members of the Royal Family for VIP events. Sarah, Duchess of York chose a striking green dress by the label for an outing to Wimbledon this week.
The mother of Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie looked radiant in the floral-print dress. The flattering green A-line design, which retails at £350, has a structured keyhole neckline, a matching belt that helps define the waist, and cuffed balloon sleeves that Sarah pushed up to a three-quarter-length style.
The vibrant colour and tailored shape suited the 65-year-old perfectly and it was easy to see why the brand has become a go-to for everyone from Princess Kate to Queen Camilla. In recent weeks, Carole Middleton chose a butter-yellow dress from the label for Royal Ascot and Duchess Sophie stepped out in a pale blue frock from the brand.
We’ve found Sarah’s exact dress, but it’s selling fast and at the time of writing is only available in two sizes. If you love the look but aren’t ready to spend hundreds, don’t worry — we’ve rounded up affordable alternatives to help you recreate her chic style for less.
This elegant green floral maxi from Me+Em is the exact design the Duchess wore at Wimbledon. Made from 100% viscose, it offers a soft, fluid drape ideal for warm summer days. The keyhole neckline and fitted cuffs add gentle structure to its relaxed silhouette, creating a flattering and refined look. With its bold print and timeless style, it’s a perfect summer staple—easy to dress up with wedges and versatile enough to wear year after year.
We’d say this stunning green midi dress from Nobody’s Child is the ideal holiday frock. It’s made from a breezy linen blend and has cut-out panels at the waist to show a bit of skin. The intricate white floral embroidery across the bodice, sleeves and hem ups the prettiness. It’s in the sale, so you can save over £25 right now.
This vibrant green midi dress from Next is crafted from 100% viscose — the same lightweight, breathable fabric as the Duchess’ dress. With a bold pink floral print and intricate border detailing, the dress flatters with its softly structured shape and elegant flowing skirt. The cropped sleeves provide just the right amount of coverage while keeping things cool and comfortable in the heat.
This floral maxi dress from Wallis, available now in the Debenhams sale, is a standout summer pick for any occasion. In a soft sage green hue, it has a flattering V-neckline, ruffle detailing, and a self-tie belt to gently cinch the waist and define the silhouette. While Sarah’s Me+Em dress featured long sleeves, she chose to push them up for a relaxed, summery look — and this Wallis design also includes full-length sleeves, giving you the option to style it your way.
This petite green floral shirt dress from Oasis offers a fresh and playful alternative to a maxi like the Duchess’s. Cut in a flattering mini length, it has a softly cinched waist, long sheer sleeves and a lightly tiered skirt which adds subtle volume. The vivid green base is brought to life with a romantic garden print, while delicate buttons and gentle gathers through the shoulders lend extra polish.
