Pregnant Duchess of Britain, Catherine recently indulged in some retail therapy at the John Lewis department store in Chelsea, London, new pictures are suggesting. Check them out here. Kate Middleton wore a white coat with a pair of high boots to keep her warm. Her hair were pulled and tied back neatly. She carried her shopping bags on her own without taking help from anyone. The Duchess not only likes to shop at designer stores but also loves to do online shopping like the rest of us, it has been revealed. When it comes to buying maternity dresses, she choses to get them delivered at her doorstep.

According to E Online, Kate regularly orders for affordable maternity dresses from Séraphine. When the 33-year-old Duchess was pregnant with Prince George, she ordered various dresses from the brand's online store. Cecile Reinaud, the founder of the maternity brand, told the website that they deliver it to Kate's address just like they do for their regular customers. The only difference with Kate and other customers is, her address is that of a palace!

For Kate's second pregnancy, the brand has also made some custom dresses for the Duchess, keeping in mind her need for formal dresses. "She has a lot of functions where she needs something extremely elegant and formal, which is not necessarily what people would wear on a daily basis, so it's not part of our range," Reinaud is quoted as saying by the E News. ''And we love the idea of giving her some unique piece that still reflects the brand,'' she added.

Kate is not the only celebrity who likes Séraphine's maternity dresses. ''No Doubt'' singer Gwen Stefani, actress Mila Kunis, reality television star Kourtney Kardashian and Zoe Saldana are among the many fans of the brand. Check out their pictures here. Kate has been applauded for her maternity style ever since the Kensington Palace announced her pregnancy. The Duchess is often seen wearing designer outfits like coats, gowns for formal occasions while she sometimes also decided to wear a hoodie, sweats and jeans to a public event.
