"A number of outfits she's wearing on the tour are off-the-rack pieces, however they're being tailored to her body shape," the source said. "The Queen's dress maker, Angela Kelly, and her team have been involved in a lot of the wardrobe prep."

It was also rumored that Kate has been instructed by the palace to dress in a more conservative fashion, including "lower hemlines" that cover her knees and bigger jewels than her typical "high-street favorites," Grazia Daily reports.

The Antipodean tour begins in New Zealand on April 7. On April 16, Kate, Prince William, and baby Prince George will move on to Australia.The royal couple will also be joined by their new nanny.
