Pippa Middleton–sister of the Duchess of Cambridge, Kate Middleton–can now add clothing designer to her repertoire of talents. She has partnered with designer Tabitha Webb to create a dress and scarf, the proceeds from which will benefit the British Heart Foundation.
Webb and Middleton created the limited-edition dress and matching scarf in white with red and pink tones that make up a stunning floral print.
In addition to designing these pieces, Pippa Middleton will take part in the 40th annual bike ride from London to Brighton, England, on June 21st to raise funds for the charity, as well as increase awareness of cardiovascular diseases.
“As an ambassador for the British Heart Foundation, I wanted to do something different and exciting on behalf of this inspiring charity,” Pippa Middleton said in a statement. “I’m really looking forward to taking part in the London to Brighton Bike Ride this month and am thrilled I was able to collaborate with Tabitha on this project to help raise additional funds and awareness for the charity.”

“It has been an absolute pleasure to work with Pippa throughout the designing process and we are delighted with the outcome. The dress is perfect for the summer–either worn with a denim jacket and pumps for a casual look or dressed up with heels for a special occasion.”

Do you suppose Kate Middleton might don one of Pippa Middleton’s designs for one of her upcoming royal outings? Perhaps she might wear either the dress or the scarf when out with her son, Prince George, and beautiful new baby girl, Princess Charlotte.
