Meghan Markle's elegant Givenchy gown drew attention when she married Prince Harry at St. George's Chapel in Windsor Castle Saturday. Now, people around the world can get their hands on a similar-looking dress by ordering it from online clothing store Missguided—and it costs $60.
The dress is described on the site as a "white maxi dress with open back, long sleeves, fishtail design and back hidden zipper." It is currently available in sizes zero through 12, with the exception of size 10, which was sold out. It is made of 95 percent polyester and 5 percent elastane.
Missguided is an online clothing store founded by Nitin Passi in 2009. It has sites specific to the U.K., the U.S., Canada, Australia, New Zealand, France, Spain, Europe, Ireland, Poland, and Germany. "Our mission is to empower females globally to be confident in themselves and be who they want to be," the about page states.
Markle's gown was designed by Givenchy's first female Artistics Director Clare Waight Keller. Givenchy posted a sketch of the dress and veil on Instagram Sunday, stating that Keller designed "a timeless piece to emphasize the iconic codes of the House throughout its history as well as to convey modernity through sleek lines and sharp cuts."
The veil that accompanied Markle's dress, also designed by Keller, had 53 embroidered flowers around its edge, each one was uniquely designed to represent a nation in the Commonwealth.
Missguided offers free standard shipping for orders that exceed $50.
