Kate Middleton Inspires Banana Republic Dress
You know that beige Reiss dress that Kate Middleton wore when she met President Obama in May? The same dress that caused the Reiss website to crash because UK fans raced to the brands website to try and snag the nude colored “Shola” dress?

Well Banana Republic has now created a knock-off version of that Reiss dress, so fans can crash that website too.
