We've all got dresses designated for specific occasions. You've got your holiday party LBD, your perfect-for-a-wedding cocktail mini, and your long maxi that's fitting for the beach or a Spring picnic.

The first time the duchess showed off the knee-length number was in 2012 at a film premiere - and it was pouring. Now, she's stepping out in the look again at the Place2Be Headteacher Conference, fighting visibly harsh winds in style.
