Kate Gosselin Bikini and Clothes - Where to Buy

Ann Taylor Loft and Dillard's Are Favorites of the Jon and Kate Plus Eight Star

Susan Braun
Viewers of TLC's hit reality show Jon and Kate Plus Eight have seen Kate Gosselin wearing stylish, trendsetting clothes and even a bikini lately. It's quite a change from the T-shirts and lounge pants she most often wore on the show just a few short months ago. Where does she buy her fashionable clothes?

This week alone, Kate has been spotted wearing three different bikini styles while vacationing with her children on a North Carolina beach.

The famous bright orange bikini Gosselin first appeared in is sold at Dillard's and is called Dip Me by Hot Kiss. The top retails for $70, the bottom for $58.

Dillard's also sells the black bikini she was seen in the next day: it has gold accents and is called First Class, also by Hot Kiss. The top is yours for $44, the bottom for $42.

Kate's recent fashionable clothing comes almost exclusively from Ann Taylor Loft. According to an employee at my local ATL store, the Loft is not a sponsor of the show, nor does it give the clothing to Gosselin - she pays for it herself.

During the season 5 Jon and Kate Plus Eight premiere, Kate was seen wearing several items from Ann Taylor Loft. She wore this Smocked Square-Neck Jersey Dress, $39.50, in forest green, at the close of the episode. She wore the same dress in pomegranate for her recent People magazine cover story. The white sweatshirt she wore at the sextuplets' fifth birthday party is from The Gap, although it is no longer available for purchase.

Kate wore Ann Taylor Loft's Sleeveless Dress with Ruffle V-Neck, $39.50, in lilac rose, in recent US Weekly photos.

Another Ann Taylor Loft find is this Sleeveless Paisley Empire Dress, for $49.50. Kate was photographed wearing this during her recent North Carolina trip.

Kate has worn this Animal Print Shell from the Loft at recent book signings, along with these Cole Haan shoes. And while many of her clothing choices are priced reasonably enough for the "average mom" she claims to be, these $228 shoes begin to veer into celebrity pricing.

As these items go on sale and then disappear, I am aware that the links may no longer work properly. However, your best bet if you would like to dress like Kate Gosselin is to visit the nearest Ann Taylor Loft for clothing, and Dillard's for swimwear.

    That previous post was in regard to the white beach cover-up Kate wore (on the cover of UsMagazine).

  • ChicagoGal6/22/2009

    Yes, it's J. Valdini (brand) and it's sold at Victoria's Secret. I just bought it there. It's on sale now (also comes in pink and black).

    Some of these prices are pretty modest for a TV personality! Thanks for your comment on my article about PV - I did NOT receive notification of this latest article of yours, and getting your comment made me realize how long it had been since I'd received one. AC is having such a problem with this!
