13 Great Eyelet Lace Buys Inspired By Kate's Now-Famous Zimmerman Dress
Kate Middleton is a bonafide fashion icon, and fashion bloggers and sites everywhere are always following what the Duchess is wearing. Recently, people have been dying over Kate's wardrobe on her trip to Australia. The Internet's most recent obsession? Middleton's white eyelet lace Zimmerman dress, worn for a day of Easter holiday festivities and even a playful visit to the beach. Obviously. With the Zimmerman number coming in at just over $500, the eyelet lace frock probably isn't for everyone — even though it's pretty hard for anyone to dislike it. Here are 13 (slightly more affordable) eyelet pieces inspired by the Duchess' gorgeous frock.
