No one knows better how to dress a royal bump than Britain's Duchess of Cambridge.<br/> <br />Even before the birth of the new third in line to the British throne, the "Kate-effect" has taken hold of the maternity fashion world.<br/> <br />Fashion pundits like British designer Amanda Wakeley, one of Kate's favourites, credit the duchess with maintaining her simple style, mixing once again high street with designer wear, this time complimenting her growing baby bump.<br/> <br />SOUNDBITE: Amanda Wakeley, British designer favoured by Kate, saying (English):<br/> <br />"I think the Duchess of Cambridge's maternity style has been very true to her. I think it has been very pared down. I think it is very appropriate, clean and modern, but with a sense of youthfulness too, which is right."<br/> <br />The Duchess has avoided leggings and smocks in favour of feminine maternity wear.<br/> <br />British department store chain, Debenhams, for instance, has reported a 500 percent rise in sale of smart and pretty maternity cloth
