The purple silk blouse worn by Kate Middleton has been sold out on Net-a-Porter, and the website now offers something similar, although none of them are exactly of the same style. They are made in different colors and of different fabrics like silk satin, silk twill or silk blend or viscose, and the details like shoulder seams, sleeve cuffs are made differently as well. Most noticeably, the back button detail which has caused the hot discussion among her fans has disappeared and replaced by a normal positioned front buttons.
