In collaboration with London-based designer Tabitha Webb, the arrival of the new fashion line was announced Monday, June 8, according to Jezebel.

Maybe calling Pippa Middleton fashion designer is a bit of a stretch, but Kate's baby sister helped Webb in designing a limited-edition pink floral dress, which costs 295 pounds, and a matching scarf, which is priced at 95 pounds, for the charity.

The pieces will be made available at Webb's clothing boutique London. The line will also be sold online, reported Us Weekly.

 "As an ambassador for the British Heart Foundation, I wanted to do something different and exciting on behalf of this inspiring charity," Pippa said in a press statement Via "The Today Show."

As for Webb, she said she is proud and honored to be working with Pippa as part of the charity project.

"It has been an absolute pleasure to work with Pippa throughout the designing process and we are delighted with the outcome," she said, adding, "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."

Along with the release of the dress and scarf, the 31-year-old party planner will be participating in a bike race also in an effort to also raise money for the organization.

The event, to be held on June 21, is the 40th annual bike ride, spanning from London to Brighton, England. Apart from raising funds for the charity, the race aims to increase the public's awareness of cardiovascular diseases, according to PEOPLE.

"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," said the brunette beauty.

These activities Pippa have been participating in this year will hopefully put to rest critics' accusations that she is only basking under the spotlight of her big sister, Kate Middleton.
