The Duchess’s Wardrobe: A Review – French Soles Ballerinas

The Duchess of Cambridge has been pictured wearing French Sole ballerina flats on her off-duty occasions.

Apparently the Duchess’s favourite style is the Henrietta. See dailymail article.She is supposedly wearing a brown croc printed design in the Henrietta style in the above picture. The next picture shows the same style she is wearing but in pink.

French Sole describes Henrietta (pictured above) as follows:“Suits a narrow to medium width fitting, has an elegant low vamp, revealing a little toe cleavage, and has a quarter inch heel. It is generous in length and is a well-balanced elegant ballet flat wardrobe essential. Available up to size 42 and 44 on classic styles.”

unfortunately I have not been able to get a size 42 in the Henrietta style because it’s always sold out. Instead I have several pairs of the Sturdy and Square Toe.

The Duchess’s Wardrobe: A Review – LK Bennett Sybil Heels

The Duchess of Cambridge has been pictured wearing LK Bennett’s Sledge Patent Leather Platform Court Shoe in light taupe numerous times.

Lk Bennett describes the Sledge shoes as ‘An L.K. Bennett Signature shoe. Sledge is a sleek, versatile platform in a modern, gloss patent leather. The feminine and sculptural toplines balance the amount of exposed toe cleavage. The built-in comfort factor ensures you won’t want to take these off, as they take you from desk to dinner effortlessly. Sledge is worn consistently by some of the most stylish women in the world. Heel Height: 90mm. Platform Height: 15mm. Width: Standard.’

John Lewis describes the Sledge as Part of the L.K. Bennett Signature Collection. A sleek, versatile platform in a modern patent leather. Perfect for work, and great for the evening, the Sledge leather court has a round toe and a natural leather sole. Heel height: 10cm

The Sledge are way too high for me and so LK Bennett suggests the Sybila Patent Leather Platform Shoe . LK Bennett says “Sybila is an lower version of the perennial favourite Sledge shoe. With a medium-heel and almond-toe, this reinvention is defined by a subtle platform, creating a more fashion-forward statement silhouette. Designed to be trans-seasonal, with its lovely patent leather finish this chic shoe can be worn year round. Heel Height: 65mm. Width: Standard”

Based on the suggestion by LK Bennett customer service, I ordered the Sybil…
