Pippa Middleton’s Latest Creative Feat: Designing Clothes for Charity
Pippa Middleton knows a lot about planning the perfect party. Now she’s showing off her sartorial design skills. The stylish 31-year-old has partnered with designer Tabitha Webb to create clothing to help raise funds for the British Heart Foundation.

Middleton and Webb designed a limited-edition dress, as well as a matching scarf, for the charity, both covered in a pink floral print.
And on top of her exciting new fashion gig, Princess Kate‘s younger sister will also be participating in the 40th annual bike ride from London to Brighton, England, on June 21 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,” 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.”

Webb added that she felt honored to be part of the project. “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.”
We hope Princess Kate steps out in the dress before (or during!) Middleton’s big race. (And maybe newborn Charlotte will be on the sidelines as well.)
What do you think of the dress and scarf? Will you be buying one (or both)? Share below!
