The Meghan Markle Dress
In the last 24 hours, the country, if not the world has gone nuts over Meghan Markle's dress by Sydney based Australian Designer Karen Gee. So much so, that their website went down as sale for the $1800 dress, described on the website as "a simple, structured fit designed to contour the body for a sleek silhouette" sky rocketed.
I have to admit, I'm also in love with this look! I've been seeing a lot of this style on Instagram lately from other designers too - some of whom we purchase our designer remnant rolls from, such as Bec & Bridge.
What's great about this dress is the fabric. It is thick, holds some body (and normally has some stretch) enabling you to create a beautiful form fitting dress without being able to see absolutely every 'in and out bit' on our bodies. It really compliments a woman's body perfectly!
Seeing as the dress has all sold out, and let's face it, not all of us have a spare 2k to through at a dress, I wanted to share some ideas for creating your own version of this inspired and highly covetted look.
