You Can Now Buy Meghan Markle's Reception Dress

From Harper's BAZAAR

Your prayers have officially been answered.

Stella McCartney just announced that she will be retailing replicas of Meghan Markle's mock-necked, fit-and-flare reception dress in black and white to 46 lucky shoppers. While most royal wedding gowns are one-of-a-kind historical relics never to be seen again aside for mass market interpretations and attempted copys, McCartney is making Meghan's gown available to a select group of her clientele. The designer will offer 23 gowns in white and 23 in black in a new capsule collection appropriately titled the "Made with Love" edit, in honor of her new store opening at 23 Old Bond Street in London.

Some elements of the gowns available will differ from Markle's–mainly that they'll be created in a sustainable viscose rather than in silk–and not everyone will be able to shop the gowns freely. Get this: clients will need to request an invitation from the brand to simply get a chance to try on one of these gowns, let alone purchase one. As for the price point? These looks won't retail for anything close to the expected price tag of a royal wedding gown–they ring in at £3,500 each.

Here's how to score an appointment to shop Meghan's look: interested clients are to email 23oldbond.store@stellamccartney.com to request an appointment, and only then could they stand to receive McCartney's personal invitation to shop the Made With Love edit at her new flagship boutique. According to reports, these gowns aren't just sitting on the floor of the shop; they're housed in a private exhibition space within the store.

McCartney recently expressed her reaction to Markle entrusting her with the design of her second dress. In an interview with BBC, the designer noted, "It was very much her dress and I felt very proud she came to me for that part of the wedding. She got to reflect her in it...I think it was the last moment that she could reflect sort of the other side to her and her, you know, the joy and the human within her."

McCartney also made it clear that Markle was incredibly involved in her dress design, "When you come to a wedding you don't just go here this is what you're wearing. It's like that person has to feel like a million dollars, they need to feel like they own it." And own it she did–as can a lucky 23 other brides and 23 other women looking to sport it in black for evening. But if you aren't one of the chosen 46, don't lose hope, according to reports, McCartney will expand her Made With Love collection into a small bridal range for Spring 2019.
