Prince William and Kate Middleton may have announced their engagement on [Twitter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/https-twitterviewer.net) and sent out faxed save-the-dates, but the William and Kate Dress-Up Dolly book brings the regal event back to nostalgic traditions.

This playful publication reminds many of what fun such simple activities once were, and the paperback itself serves to increase the growing paraphernalia surrounding the [royal wedding](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wedding-registry-1) in April. The William and Kate Dress-Up Dolly book places the two lovebirds at polo matches, garden parties and finally their marriage ceremony, allowing the reader to dress them for each occasion.
