Having read through the wonderful threds that PeDe started I will say that 90% of Kates outfits are boring or outright hideous.
Yet there are some of the looks I like eg. this Erdem dress that Kate wore at Troping the Colour 2012.

Agreed, about your take on Kate's outfits

. The Erdem dress has got beautiful fabric+pattern but the collar is a bit weird IMO. (Or is it that she has her hair down + higher collar thus making the neck appear shorter?

)
