Alexander McQueen white origami coat

Kate's white origami skirted coat was probably one of most people's favorites and has been worn on only a few occasions.
It is a delicate white with a dainty form and unique sculpted side pleats that really carve out a feminine figure.


The wool and cotton blend coat is by Alexander McQueen, which gives us a hint of the monster price tag.  The original price was ≈ $3845 U.S.  and got as low as for $2691.50, and has since sold out.
The bodice of the coat is a double breasted style with collar, lapels and double row buttons.  The bottom of the coat is a skirt style which give it such a feminine and full shape.  It features origami style sculpting and peplum detail.




A slightly more reasonable alternative would be this version from on-line retailer ASOS.  While this repliKate is more of a trench style, it certainly mimics many of the details of the original inspiration piece.  It is also a double breasted style with collar, lapels, and double row buttons.  The bottom is a full skirted style as well, with handkerchief hem and bustle detail at back.
