Duchess Kate sparked a massive sellout of her gingham blouse from Brora

Nailing off-duty chic in a pink gingham top from Brora, Duchess Kate teamed her prairie-inspired blouse with her 'Favourite Cut' jeans from & Other Stories, and unsurprisingly, it completely sold out.

We've rounded up the best gingham blouses from Boden, John Lewis, Mango and more so you can dress like a Duchess for less.
